Atmospheric CO2 emissions and ocean acidification from bottom-trawling

Atmospheric CO2 emissions and ocean acidification from bottom-trawling

Trawling the seafloor can disturb carbon that took millennia to accumulate, but the fate of that carbon and its impact on climate and ecosystems remains unknown. Using satellite-inferred fishing events and carbon cycle models, we find that 55-60% of trawling-induced aqueous CO2 is released to the at...
