Deep-sea science; seamounts, fisheries & macroecology.
pinned post!
Our new article out in Science Advances today! 🌊 In Europe we have protected 1% of our deep-sea biodiversity from bottom-contact fishing, but our analysis revealed that 3,500 hours of fishing still occurred within these protected areas.

The framework to protect seamounts exists; what’s needed now is political will to finish the job. At
#UNOC3
, it’s time to turn commitments into action. We ask States to prioritise ocean health and put an end to destructive deep-sea bottom trawling on seamounts.
