The need for this study arises from international moves to address the effects of high sea fishing with bottom gears (HSBG) on vulnerable marine ecosystems and in view of a Communication on the EU policy in respect of this. Catches from deep sea fisheries increased by 440% between 1975 and 2005 (high seas and EEZs). There is growing concern over the impact of fishing using gears that come into contact with the seabed (bottom gears), in particular in deep-sea areas where vulnerable marine ecosystems including seamounts, hydrothermal vents and cold water corals are located. Give an overview of the Community (HSBG) fleets, including characteristics of the vessels, species targeted, fishing grounds, flag states and ports used. Quantify the economic importance of Community (HSBG) fleets. Quantify the social importance of Community (HSBG) fleets, including direct and indirect employment.
