Article Synopsis
- Marine sediments are significant carbon stores, but bottom trawl fisheries disturb seabed habitats, potentially impacting the ocean's carbon dioxide sink.
- Research is concerned that trawling may turn these sediments into a significant source of CO, but there's a lot of uncertainty due to limited understanding of how trawling affects sediment mixing and carbon processes.
- A review protocol will investigate the effects of mobile bottom fishing on carbon processing and storage in sediments by addressing various questions about carbon types, fluxes between benthic and pelagic systems, and the biological and physical controls on this carbon.
