  abstract = {{T}he ocean provides both socioeconomic and climate benefits, but these benefits can potentially conflict when fishing disrupts the carbon sequestration potential of marine macrofauna and disturbs carbon-rich sediments. {A} lack of understanding about the spatial overlap between fishing activity and key carbon sequestration areas hinders efforts to incorporate climate considerations into fisheries management. {H}ere, we identify potentially conflicting oceanic carbon areas with pelagic ({COCA}-{P}) and bottom-trawling fisheries ({COCA}-{BT}) separately. {W}e show that {COCA}-{P} cover 11.2% of the ocean, with 60% occurring in the high seas, while {COCA}-{BT} cover 3.7% of the ocean, mainly in coastal areas where 56.4% of global trawling catches occur. {O}nly 1% of {COCA}s overlap both fishery types, suggesting that targeted adjustments in fishing practices could mitigate conflicts. {T}hese findings provide critical insights for fisheries management, informing policies that balance food security, economic interests, and carbon sequestration in the ocean.},
