I just saw the video on local news here. I didn't see any sea spiders (pycnogonids) either, just the crinoids. Hmmm. Maybe we should apply to be marine biological consultants for CNN.

They did look like Albino Swimmers! I was amazed at the horrible sound of the sled smashing through all the sea life, and for what reason? Like most "News stories" almost no truth what so ever!

I think they were shooting video and huntin' edible sea scallops for a cookout later!

btw - I agree. There are other ways of getting video without tearing up the bottom with a sled, or dredge-like device.

The purpose of a benthic sled is not to capture video. Most sleds don't even have this capability. The purpose of the sled is to capture organisms in a semi-quantitative manner. And no, there isn't a better way.

Yes there is! I don't want to see my Big Mac being made either! Don't release the video if you don't want criticism from an unknowing public! I don't want to see a lot of fact of life, but in a PC world that kind of video sets everyone back! I would think there are better ways, just not cheaper ways!
