To establish ocean bottom trawl areas in which trawling is permitted, to 
protect deep sea corals and sponges, and for other purposes. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
SEPTEMBER 14, 2005 
Mr. SHAW (for himself, Mr. FARR, Mr. SHAYS, and Mr. PALLONE) introduced 
the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Resources, and 
in addition to the Committee on Science, for a period to be subsequently 
determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provi-
sions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned 
A BILL 
To establish ocean bottom trawl areas in which trawling 
is permitted, to protect deep sea corals and sponges, 
and for other purposes. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Bottom Trawl and 
Deep Sea Coral Habitat Act’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Ocean resources are a vital component of 
the United States economy, as noted by the United 
States Commission on Ocean Policy. 
(2) A proper balance of use and protection of 
ocean resources is necessary to ensure the sustain-
ability of such resources. 
(3) Deep ocean habitats provide fishery re-
sources and sites for deep sea corals and deep sea 
sponges. 
(4) Many fishermen of the United States derive 
their livelihoods from fishing in deep ocean areas. 
(5) It is important that fishermen continue to 
be permitted to use areas that have traditionally 
been fished, as long as conservation considerations 
allow. 
(6) According to the National Research Council, 
approximately 10 percent of the United States Ex-
clusive Economic Zone, an area of a total of 
3,400,000 square nautical miles, is used each year 
by fishermen who employ bottom trawls and, in the 
area that is 50 miles or less from shore, this per-
centage is higher than 75 percent in some regions. 
(7) Vessel monitoring systems are increasingly 
used in the fishing industry. For example, coverage
of such systems for bottom trawl vessels in the Pa-
cific and North Pacific is 100 percent. 
(8) Deep sea corals and deep sea sponges host 
biological diversity that, according to the United 
States Commission on Ocean Policy, ‘‘may rival that 
of coral communities in warmer, shallower waters’’. 
For example, more than 1,300 species live among 
Lophelia coral reefs in the northeastern Atlantic 
Ocean. 
(9) Complex seafloor habitats created by struc-
ture-forming organisms, such as deep sea corals and 
deep sea sponges, provide spawning habitat, food, 
and shelter to numerous fishes and other associated 
species, including commercially and recreationally 
targeted species. 
(10) Deep sea corals and deep sea sponges typi-
cally exhibit slow growth, extreme longevity, and 
highly patchy distribution, predominately along con-
tinental margins, seamounts, undersea canyons, and 
ridges. 
(11) Deep sea corals and deep sea sponges have 
not been fully studied for their benefit to society or 
for their ecological importance to other associated 
species.
