Hello,

Colin,
I have posted many pictures of the trawl in the photo gallery, so check that out for a better understanding. A trawl basically has a heavy metal part that connects to a huge net. Both parts skim the sea floor and all the marine life is collected in the huge net. That is a very simple description, but the photos should help.
Thanks, Mrs. Pena
