Getting to the Bottom of the Facts on Trawling

As an industry we are open to conversations about where we fish and how. We have already prohibited trawling from 30% of our fisheries waters to protect the seabed. We are also investigating new fishing technology to reduce our impact. Is trawling the terrible thing that some commentators believe it to be? No. But it can be improved. We are working to improve it, with good science as our guide.

Ray Hilborn: MPA’s not the answer to ocean biodiversity, sustainability efforts

Republished from SeafoodSource.com.
A global movement to create additional marine protected areas (MPAs) has been steadily gaining traction in recent years, with the initiative picking up milestone victories in the past few months.
In January, newly inaugurated U.S. President Joe Biden signed an executive order committing to a “30 by 30” goal, whereby the United States would designated 30 percent of its land and territorial waters to conservation by the year 2030. The move heightened the potential that MPAs will be used as a tool to tackle climate change.
