TL;DR: The structural attributes and biotic effects of the habitats that corals, sea pens, sponges and xenophyophores offer other organisms and the biotic structures they create to habitat heterogeneity and diversity on the deep continental margins are highlighted.

TL;DR: In this article, the extent and intensity of bottom trawling on the European continental shelf (0-1000 m) was analyzed from logbook statistics and VMS data for 2010, 2011 and 2012 at a resolution of 1×1 minutes longitude and latitude.

TL;DR: It is concluded that testing and integrating the different approaches was facilitated during the WFD process, which led to further insights and improvements, which the MSFD can rely upon.

TL;DR: A systematic, high-resolution analysis of bottom trawl fishing footprints for 24 regions on continental shelves and slopes of five continents and New Zealand, finding footprints were generally smaller in regions where fisheries met targets for exploitation rates, implying collateral environmental benefits of effective fisheries management.

TL;DR: The observed distribution indicated that the abundance of coral is controlled by additional factors such as larger-scaled topographic features governing the current regimes and thus also the supply of food and larvae.
