The fishing method depicted is likely to be one that causes significant environmental damage, akin to the effects of clear-cutting in a forest. This comparison suggests a method that indiscriminately removes or destroys a wide range of species and habitats, such as bottom trawling, which can devastate marine ecosystems by removing or damaging all life forms in its path, similar to how clear-cutting removes all trees and vegetation from an area.
