NOAA Fisheries has finalized regulations protecting over 140,000 square miles of U.S. West Coast seafloor from destructive bottom trawling. These safeguards, effective January 1, 2020, cover vital habitats like corals, sponges, and rocky reefs, crucial for marine life and ocean ecosystems.

This action follows a 2018 vote by the Pacific Fishery Management Council, spurred by scientific input and advocacy from Oceana. The new rules will more than double existing protections, making 90 percent of the West Coast seafloor off-limits to bottom trawling.
