resulting from their data request to the Atlantic Large Whale Take
Reduction Team (ALWTRT) and discuss potential sets of measures. The
ALWTRT is tasked with reducing the risk of entanglement to right whales
in U.S. East Coast fixed gear fisheries including gillnet, mixed
species trap/pot, and lobster and Jonah crab trap/pot fisheries. The
measures developed by the ALWTRT have the potential to impact several
Council managed fisheries and the Protected Resources Committee will
develop recommendations and guidance for the Council's representation
on the ALWTRT. The ALWTRT is currently scheduled to make final
recommendations at their December 1-2 meeting, however this may be
subject to change. The Committee may address other protected resources
issues as they arise.
