Bottom Trawling
A fisherman is repairing nets after trawling 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 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. It is absurd once again to impose restrictions on a sector among the hardest hit by the recent global crises, even arbitrarily banning trawling, which in many coastal areas is the only source of livelihood.
