Bottom Trawling in Global Ocean

The proportion of a country’s total catch across the global ocean caught by bottom trawling and dredging. This indicator measures how much countries use bottom trawling, either in their own waters, those of other countries, or in the high seas. A score of 100 indicates that the country catches no fish with bottom trawling, and a score of 0 indicates worst performance. Data come from the Sea Around Us.
