SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management
Council's Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Advisory Panel will
meet via webinar jointly with the Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish
Advisory Panel. The purpose of this meeting is to review and provide
feedback on sea turtle trawl bycatch issues and the ongoing research on
mitigation measures in the Greater Atlantic Region. Fisheries bycatch
is a primary threat to endangered and threatened sea turtles and occurs
at high levels in trawl fisheries such as croaker, longfin squid, and
summer flounder. NMFS and other partners have been investigating
mitigation measures such as gear modifications called Turtle Excluder
Devices (TEDs) or limited tow durations to reduce mortality of
incidentally bycaught sea turtles.
