Introduction to Bottom Trawling• Hidden beneath the surface of the ocean is a world waiting
to be explored• 500,000 and 5,000,000 marine species are yet to be
discovered• What are some ways to reduce fisheries bycatch &
discard from the resulting practice of bottom trawling in California?

Early History of Bottom Trawling
• 1376- petition required the prohibition of a wondyrchoum
• 19th Century- There should be no regulation/limitations on Bottom Trawling
