Ever since first hearing about bottom trawling, I've found that the method of fishing is despicable. It may be a surefire way of getting fish, but it's so destructive and lethal (there's a lot of bycatch) that it's inexcusable in my eyes. So I found out about a method Greenpeace is using to stop trawling from being used. They've been putting large granite boulders out along the ocean bed - any trawler that tries to destroy the seabed would be hindered by these boulders, and if not by completely destroying the trawling equipment, hopefully it will make the people behind the trawlers stop and think about their way of fishing.
