The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded Cornell Cooperative Extension Association of Suffolk County a $226,780 Cooperative Agreement (CFDA 11.472 – Cooperative Research Program) effective June 1, 2026, through November 30, 2027, to conduct research and outreach on Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) in the offshore longfin squid fishery of the Greater Atlantic Region. The awardee will build upon existing inshore TED research by adapting and testing two TED designs for use in the larger-scale offshore bottom trawl fishery. The project includes conducting at-sea research across ten days of fishing activity in the Hudson Canyon area, with a commercial fishing partner vessel performing 90 total tows (nine one-hour tows per day) using twin-hydraulic net reels to enable direct comparison studies and gather performance data on TED viability in offshore operations. Additionally, the award supports outreach and stakeholder engagement products, including a virtual workshop to educate the commercial longfin squid fishing community about TEDs and potential upcoming regulatory requirements, while collecting industry input on the TED designs to be tested. This research initiative is designed to establish whether TEDs represent a viable and suitable option for the offshore fishery before potential regulatory mandates are implemented, thereby providing the scientific foundation necessary for informed fisheries management decisions in this region.Federal Cooperative Agreement Award Summary
