A number of studies have shown that mobile, bottom-contact fishing
gear (such as otter trawls) can alter seafloor habitats and
associated biota. Considerably less is known about the recovery of
these resources following such disturbances, though this
information is critical for successful management. In part, this
paucity of information can be attributed to the lack of access to
adequate control sites - areas of the seafloor that are closed to
fishing activity. Recent closures along the coast of central
California provide an excellent opportunity to track the recovery
of historically trawled areas and to compare recovery rates to
adjacent areas that continue to be trawled.
