New study encourages harvesting, consuming wider variety of fish
With the goal of balancing sustainable fisheries with a diverse seafood market, new research measured the composition of species offered in the marketplace compared to what was available in the local ecosystem.

A worldwide study on the impacts of bottom trawling, which accounts for a quarter of the world’s seafood harvest and can negatively affect marine ecosystems, has found that seabeds are in good health where trawl fisheries are sustainably managed.

URI GSO scientists are creating a series of computer models of the food web of Narragansett Bay to predict how fish abundance will change as water temperatures rise, nutrient inputs vary, and fishing pressure fluctuates.

Bottom trawl fishing occurs on just 14 percent of the seafloor along continental shelves and slopes according to a new global analysis resulting from research by nearly five dozen scientists including GSO professor Jeremy Collie.

About a third of the world’s fish is caught using bottom trawling, a method that drags a net along the seabed, scooping up everything in its path. The ecological damage can be devastating. Many marine creatures—sea turtles, corals and anemones—are accidentally caught, and often die. As it scours the bottom, the trawl can also destroy […]

If you have any doubt that climate change is affecting our planet, consider the research of Jeremy Collie, an oceanographer at the University of Rhode Island’s Graduate School of Oceanography. Collie says that temperatures in Narragansett Bay hit record highs and lows in 2015, which he calls the “most extreme’’ fluctuations observed since GSO started […]
