  7. Key question for FIMPAS project This project aims at identifying two questions: • To what extent do specific fishing activities significantly threaten attainment of the conservation objectives of the Natura 2000 sites? • What management measures would reduce these conflicts and how effective would they be at helping to ensure the favourable condition of these sites? 157987 - v0 - Presentation North Sea RAC, 22 November 2010

ConclusionsDogger Bank • Disagreements among the participants with industry versus scientists: • Discussion points were the impacts that beam trawls have on the bottom compared to the natural impact e.g. from storms • Concerning the impact by gillnetting the concern is on the differences that different gillnets may have on bycatch 157987 - v0 - Presentation North Sea RAC, 22 November 2010
