Current Support For Protecting the Living Seafloor

There is wide-ranging support for protecting the seafloor from destructive bottom trawling, and for good reason: these rich habitats provide nurseries, food and shelter for many important fish species. We must maintain current protections while expanding them to additional areas that are essential to the health of the oceans.
