Corpus Christi EFH Trawling Effects 2001-2002

Metadata Updated: April 1, 2024

We compared sediments and benthos of two adjacent zones of the middle Texas coast, one of which was closed to shrimp trawling for 7 months. Findings indicated that the predicted accumulation of fine materials over the 7-month closure did not occur, as we found no sedimentary differences that could not be referenced to sampling design. Data indicate that ambient shrimp trawling effort during winter and spring off the middle Texas coast had little impact on small benthic organisms.
