NOAA Fisheries and the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission are hosting a workshop to discuss protected species bycatch in mid-Atlantic gillnet fisheries.
While gillnet fisheries interact with several species protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act, this workshop will focus specifically on sea turtles and Atlantic sturgeon. The objective of the workshop is to generate ideas for technological solutions through a collaborative process that involves the fishing industry, conservation community, species experts/researchers, managers, and other interested parties.
Those unable to attend the workshop in person will be able to listen to the discussions via webinar.
