🎣 Bottom trawling destroys ocean life, often beyond repair. Research shows that just a single bottom trawl tow can reduce the abundance of marine animals in an area by an average of 55%. For vulnerable invertebrates, that number jumps to a 68% loss in one pass of a bottom trawling net. But it doesn’t end there… Some deep-sea habitats may never recover from bottom trawling damage. In one case study, even after 15 years of closure, benthic communities on seamounts show little to no signs of recov

Using heavy nets to scrape the ocean floor, bottom trawling is described as being "destructive for both ocean life and the climate," destroying an area of the ocean floor nearly as large as the Amazon rainforest every year. Despite its effects on marine organisms and the environment, the practice still provides over a quarter of fishery catches around the world.

Bottom trawling is an indiscriminate fish harvesting process, capturing all in its path and scraping vital marine growth off the seabed. The damage is unseen as it’s underwater and out of sight. In this short video, Dr Simon Thrush, a marine scientist from Auckland University, and Matt Watson discuss how bottom trawling works and why it is so destructive.

Is the UK finally ending bottom trawling in additional protected waters? After years of public pressure and persistent campaigning, the UK government has announced it is considering a significant expansion of the ban on bottom trawling across many Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in English waters. We have campaigned hard to get UK governments to establish MPAs, this is why we have joined the call for a bottom trawling ban.
