Trawl impacts on the relative status of biotic communities of seabed sedimentary habitats in 24 regions worldwide

C. Roland Pitcher et al.

Summary: Bottom trawling is widely used and impacts seabed habitats. However, the risks from trawling have not been quantified in most regions. This research synthesized evidence from 24 regions worldwide and developed a quantitative indicator of biotic status for sedimentary habitats. The findings highlight the need for more effective management to reduce exploitation and improve stock sustainability and seabed environmental status. The study also found that the area swept by trawling is related to the seabed status, allowing for preliminary predictions of regional status based on the total amount of trawling.

A global review of MSC certification: Why fisheries withdraw?

Andrea Pierucci et al.

Summary: This study investigates the factors influencing withdrawal of fisheries from the Marine Stewardship Council certification process. It found that fishing gear used and geographical location were the principal factors affecting withdrawal likelihood. The study also reviews the uneven global expansion of MSC ecolabelling and identifies factors that need to be considered.
