Bottom Trawling

Bottom Trawling

Fishermen are selling their catch directly after fishing at the Port of Molfetta, in Molfetta, Italy, on January 18, 2024. (Photo by Davide Pischettola/NurPhoto) Research currently being published in Frontiers in Marine Science is showing that bottom trawling, which involves the use of large fishing nets dragged along the seabed, is not only threatening the conservation of animal and plant species in the ocean depths but is also eroding this valuable storage system, leading to the release of significant amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere annually. The Commission's Action Plan is clearly aiming to block all fishing in the pursuit of what is considered an extreme ecological idealism. It is seen as absurd to once again impose restrictions on an industry that is among those most affected by recent global crises, even going as far as to arbitrarily ban trawling, which is the sole source of income in many coastal areas.

    Fishermen are working on a fishing boat in the Port of Molfetta, Italy, on January 18, 2024. (Photo by Davide Pischettola/NurPhoto) Research currently being published in Frontiers in Marine Science is showing that bottom trawling, which involves the use of huge fishing nets dragged along the seabed, not only poses a danger to the conservation of animal and plant species living in the ocean depths but is also eroding this valuable storage system, causing the release of significant amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year. The Commission's Action Plan is clearly demonstrating that its sole goal is to obstruct all fishing in the name of an ecological idealism that borders on extremism. It is absurd once again to impose restrictions on a sector that is among the hardest hit by recent global crises, even going as far as to arbitrarily ban trawling, which is the only source of livelihood in many coastal areas.

(Photo by Davide Pischettola/NurPhoto) Research currently being published in Frontiers in Marine Science is showing that bottom trawling, which involves the use of huge fishing nets dragged for long stretches on the seabed, not only poses a danger to the conservation of animal and plant species that inhabit the ocean depths but also erodes this valuable storage system, causing the release of huge amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year. The Commission's Action Plan is demonstrating in no uncertain terms that the only goal is to obstruct all fishing in the name of an ecological idealism that is nothing short of extremist.

                    Fishermen are sorting the catch from the trawl fishery to make direct sales on the fishing boat in the Port of Molfetta, on December 1, 2023. Nearly 500 fishing vessels are being threatened by new European regulations that call for the elimination of bottom trawling, the most productive sector of the fishing industry, potentially having a devastating impact on the economy, employment, and consumption.
