Short summary
Dragging fishing nets across the seafloor might lead to the release of carbon dioxide, potentially leading to negative consequences such as the ocean turning sour and the planet heating up even more quickly. Protecting areas of the seabed from such human activities could help reduce negative consequences, but which places should be protected? We present a new method to map areas of the seabed offshore Norway which are most at risk and could be considered for protection.
