The Wider Ecological Impacts
Fishing provides food, income and employment for millions ofpeople. However, fishing has environmental costs that threaten rare
species, marine ecosystems and the sustainability of the
resource.
Based on the research expertise of leading scientists,
Commercial Fishing: the Wider Ecological Impacts provides a
lively, timely and accessible account of fishing activities and
their impacts on marine habitats, biodiversity and species of
conservation concern. It covers fishing methods that range from
trawling in the Antarctic to fishing with dynamite in the
tropics.
The authors show how habitats such as the muddy sea beds of the
deep sea, kelp forests and coral reefs are affected by fishing and
how birds, mammals, turtles and sea snakes both suffer and benefit
from fishing activities. They also look to the future, highlighting
ways to make fishing gear 'environmentally friendly' and asking
whether marine reserves will improve conservation.
