OSPAR Common Indicator BH3 – Extent of Physical Damage to Predominant and Species Habitat (D6-C2)...TimpeallachtBH3 is currently limited to pressure caused by abrasion on the seafloor from mobile bottom contacting fishing gear (trawling). Pressure from other activities is in development. The scale of disturbance on the seafloor is a product of the habitats sensitivity and exposure to a...

OSPAR Common Indicator BH3 – Extent of Physical Damage to Predominant and Species Habitat (D6-C2)...TimpeallachtThe sensitivity of benthic ecosystem components is determined by their resistance (ability to tolerate disturbance or stress) and resilience (time required to recover). Resistance of a species or habitat can be assessed using a scale and illustrates a species or habitats...
