Marine Protected Areas to protect seabeds

When high-impact fishing methods like scallop dredging and bottom-trawling are excluded from an area, the seabed can recover the three-dimensional habitat that it would often have had before trawling began. Marine Protected Areas protect our seabeds from the most damaging forms of fishing, Fish fight is a European campaign that aims to help marine life and fish stocks recover, and make life better for sustainable fishermen.
