What is Bottom Trawling about?

Bottom trawling is a prevalent fishing method that significantly contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for up to 40% of global food-related emissions. The practice not only has a high carbon footprint compared to other food sources but also disturbs seabed habitats, releasing substantial amounts of CO2 from carbon-rich sediments. Mitigation strategies include rebuilding fish stocks, transitioning to low-emission technologies, and limiting bottom trawling in protected areas.
