New study finds #bottomtrawling in Europe may cost society €2–16B annually, largely from carbon released when fishing gear disturbs seabed sediments. Nearly 25% of trawling also occurs inside MPAs, raising urgent policy concerns. Protecting marine ecosystems is #climateaction. #BlueCarbon 🌊

Climate change is reshaping fish—but not always in obvious ways. 🐟🌡️ bit.ly/GOLTmeanlength
