Eco-labeling seafood: Addressing impacts to vulnerable seafloor species, communities, habitats and ecosystems in data-poor regions

► Current sustainable seafood eco-labeling needs better tools to evaluate fishery impact. ► Lack of data often results in poor assessment of vulnerable community and habitat impacts. ► We propose a data mining and evaluation framework for fishery effects in data poor areas. ► We created a method to assess vulnerability based on exposure, sensitivity and resilience. ► This approach can be used by organizations to advance ecosystem-based management.
