What you're seeing is an image of shrimp trawlers off the coast of China, taken from space. Those teeny tiny specs are responsible for destroying huge swaths of seafloor, and thanks to these images, which appeared in the journal Nature yesterday, scientists now have visual evidence to prove what they could only conceptualize before.
