Fishing in Fundy : harming seafloor habitats? / [written and produced by J.A. Percy]. : En13-8/14-2000E-PDF
"Hidden from view beneath our coastal and offshore waters, large areas of productive seafloor, or "benthic" habitat are being regularly scraped and gouged by heavy trawls and dredges towed by fishing vessels seeking groundfish and shellfish. Few dispute the fact that significant areas of the seafloor are being significantly, regularly and roughly disturbed. However, a heated debate rages about whether there are serious, lasting ecological effects of this physical disturbance on benthic habitats, biodiversity or fish stocks"--p. 1.
