New Research: The Impact of Bottom Trawling on Food Security

In this webinar, Dr Anna Schuhbauer presents new global research on the impacts of bottom trawling on food security, drawing on case studies from coastal communities around the world. The findings challenge common assumptions about industrial fishing efficiency. While bottom trawling contributes significantly to global seafood production, this research shows it can undermine local food systems, reduce access to nutritious fish, and marginalize small-scale fishers
