This has a direct impact on Arctic microorganisms as more light is available [...] new production. In addition, ocean warming is leading to changes in the winter mixed layer in the North Atlantic, which has reduced the amount of silica entering the Arctic Ocean in recent decades. This

in quantitative assessment of the impact of bottom trawling on carbon storage in the North Sea and global shelf seas was recently published in the journal Nature Geoscience .
[...] Flatfish and shrimp are caught in the North Sea by using trawls that are dragged across the seabed. This releases carbon into the water and carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, as shown by the latest
