Before More specifically, one of the most devastating impacts humans have had on use of fishing trawlers, whose nets can be sunk as far down as 4,000 m (more than 13,000 ft) beneath the water's surface ecosystems is the NOAA Fisheries Dragged along the and ripping up or scooping out whatever they encounter (see before and after photos from the Oculina Banks, off the central east coast of Florida), trawler nets can be up to 61 m (200 ft) wide and 12 m (40 ft) high, and weigh as much as 454 kg (1,000 lb) zone After Photo provided courtesy of UNC Wilmington's NOAA Undersea Research Center Although this area of the ocean lacks surprising amount of biodiversity. By essentially clear-cutting the area that they are dragged along, fishing trawlers , the marine snow that is present in this zone supportsa habitat loss, biodiversity, and ultimately destroy these fragile ecosystems

Explanation / Answer

Fishing trawler are used to drag anything on the ocean floor as they can reach deep. These are dragging all the things in the abyssal zone which will result in the killing of many organisms and corals and disturbs the whole oceanic life.

This zone never receives sunlight and thus it lacks nutrients. These are increasing the habitat loss and decreasing the biodiversity.
