Chanwoo is part of a team at CSAR investigating methods of Reducing Seabed Impacts of Bottom Trawls.

The research objectives are:

• Develop and commercialize 4 innovative fishing trawls that can catch commercial quantities of fish/shellfish but with a reduced seabed impact compared to traditional bottom trawls
• Using CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) Technology, new type of fishing gear is being designed
• Cooperated with industrial partners, DFA, NSERC, ACOA and MI
