Exploring the Application of Trawling Method for Fishing: Benefits, Concerns, and Sustainable Practices

Barbara Moan

Fishing using the trawling method has gained popularity due to its effectiveness in capturing a wide range of marine species. This article examines the application of trawling, highlighting its benefits, concerns, and the importance of adopting sustainable practices. Trawling offers high catch efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and provides valuable ecological knowledge. However, concerns include bycatch, habitat destruction, and overfishing. To address these concerns, measures such as mesh size regulations, TEDs, and gear modifications have been implemented.Sustainable trawling practices involve collaboration and the implementation of catch limits, seasonal closures, and selective fishing gear. Striking a balance between harvesting resources and preserving the ocean’s health is crucial for the long-term viability of fishing activities.
