Deep-Sea Fishing Impacts on the Shipwrecks of the English Channel Western Approaches

摘要

Odyssey Marine Exploration's Atlas Shipwreck Survey Project in the western English Channel and Western Approaches has recorded 267 shipwrecks across 4,725 square nautical miles. A high density of the sites displays evidence of detrimental impacts from the deep-sea fishing industry, predominantly trawler, scallop dredge and gill net fishing activities.
