Trawling-induced daily sediment resuspension in the flank of a Mediterranean submarine canyon
"Commercial bottom trawling is one of the anthropogenic activities causing the biggest impact on the seafloor due to its recurrence and global distribution. In particular, trawling has been proposed as a major driver of sediment dynamics at depths below t...
