Description
After decades of effort to reduce bycatch, two barriers for certification of the federal otter trawl fleet remain: (1) low observer coverage (~2%) and (2) the "modified characterization protocol" of bycatch whereby a large percent is unidentified. This proposal will address both of these problems by building off two independently successful previous studies that (1) applied electronic monitoring (EM) on shrimping vessels and (2) obtained full characterization of bycatch species across the gulf of mexico. The research proposed will support the development/training of AI models being tested by nmfs. This project will benefit the shrimping industry, the nmfs observer program, fisheries managers, and U.S. Consumers. The results will promote market demand, improve public relations for U.S. Wild-caught shrimp and value-added of shrimp by promoting sustainable fishery practices, all consistent with s-k objectives.
