Overall VME-likelihood/fishery-interaction risk assessment analysis.

<p>Combined (all fishing areas) VME-likelihood/fishery-interaction risk assessment plots for all footprint blocks constituting the New Zealand SPRFMO Area bottom trawl footprint in all fishing areas. Coral habitat suitability is the average Davies & Guinotte (2011) Scleractinia habitat suitability values for the fishable depth (0 m–1600 m) points in each block. Risk of interaction is measured as the cumulative swept area over time in each block. Blocks have been classified by their current management status (open, move-on or closed, from Penney <i>et al</i>. 2009). a) Full fishable-depths habitat suitability, without discounting; b) Discounted fishable-depths habitat suitability, with habitat suitability of actual seabed swept areas set to zero.
