DEF

The catching of fish or shellfish that are found on or close to the seabed, using any gear type likely to come in contact with the seafloor or benthic organisms during the normal course of operations.

CONT

Since gear impacts are affected by such factors such as the type of benthic communities over which they are fished, restricting bottom fishing from specific areas would reduce impact on particularly sensitive areas. ... the policy for managing the impacts of fishing on sensitive benthic areas ... can be used to protect ocean-floor habitat.

CONT

Étant donné que l'incidence des engins dépend de facteurs comme le type de communauté benthique qui fait l'objet de la pêche, la restriction de la pêche de fond dans certaines zones réduirait l'incidence sur les zones particulièrement sensibles. [...] la politique de gestion des impacts de la pêche sur les zones benthiques vulnérables peut être utilisée pour protéger l'habitat du plancher océanique.
