NotesMany human activities that are not directly related to fishing can harm essential fish habitat. This publication looks at 19 different human activities that can damage essential fish habitat, from climate change to forest management to noise pollution, and more. The authors describe for each activity what is known to affect essential fish habitat, potential impacts, “and provide proactive conservation measures designed to minimize or avoid them” (from the Plain Language Summary).
