Add to ORKGQuantitative estimates of fishing gear impacts on vulnerable seafloor habitats are an important component of an ecosystem approach to fisheries management. Currently, procedures do not exist for assessing the regional-scale impact of bottom trawling on benthic ecosystems on Canada\u27s west coast. In this study, I used metrics of diversity and composition to evaluate the response of habitat-forming benthic communities in Hecate Strait, B.C. to varying intensities of bottom trawling. Results demonstrated that trawling effort and substrate are important factors associated with the diversity and composition of habitat-forming species in Hecate Strait. Rockier habitats with less sand/mud substrate and minimal trawling effort displayed the h...
