About

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs awarded a contract to MarineSpace Ltd for the analysis of existing data to study the effects of towed fishing gears in UK Marine Protected Areas.

The project aimed to review and recommend metrics and data analysis methods to test for natural disturbance in mobile sedimentary habitats at small, local scales, and to assess these effects with respect to fishing activity exposure at case study sites, distinguishing natural changes from those caused by fishing or a combination of both.

The outcomes were intended to support the development of evidence-based management measures for fishing activities within UK MPAs.

The contract value was £28,020.
