Description
Reducing incidental mortality experienced at sea such as commercial fisheries seabird bycatch can help restore these injured species. This project will work with fisheries in which there is a risk of seabird bycatch to 1 identify areas and times when seabird interactions are most intense and 2 test voluntary fishing practice modifications to reduce seabird bycatch. This project will incorporate education training and outreach and develop partnerships with fisheries located in U.S. Atlantic areas operating out of chatham MA. In addition to quantifying the efficacy of seabird bycatch reduction strategies performance criteria will include that target catch levels be maintained and or catch efficiency be improved e.g. less time lost to removal of non target bycatch less bait lost reductions in damage to fishing gear. The results of this project will be shared broadly through direct engagement with fishermen by partners and used to promote voluntary adoption of seabird bycatch reduction strategies across the regions where the injured species are at risk. Further information gathered through this project including through partnerships with commercial fisheries will be shared with observer programs to help inform observer protocols and improve data collection efforts.
