N2 - The benthic impact and recovery of trawling and creel fishing was assessed for the Nephrops norvegicus fishery around the United Kingdom using the MSC Benthic Impact Tool (BIT). The BIT calculates the relative benthic status and recovery of habitats with an indicative MSC score calculated based on the time to recovery. The assessment was conducted for four regional assessment areas (Celtic, West of Scotland, northern North Sea, and North Sea) on commonly encountered habitats and Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem habitats (VMEs).
