A type of fishing boat that pulls a net through the water, or a person or device that drags something.
From 'drag' + '-er' (agent noun suffix). The term emerged in fishing industry vocabulary to describe vessels using dragging fishing methods like trawling.
Modern draggers have destroyed vast ecosystems—these industrial fishing ships can drag nets so large and heavy they literally plow the ocean floor, destroying coral and habitat that took centuries to grow.
