🎣 What measures have been adopted, and what #fishing practices & technologies have been tested in real-life settings to reduce #endangered, threatened & protected #species #bycatch in drifting longline #fisheries?
🔓 This Methods paper presents a recent scoping review: doi.org/10.3897/rio.....
Spatial distribution of estimated #seabird #bycatch risk, showing gradients of risk across in relation to different gear types for the summer and winter within the area of interest (AOI).

The full-day workshop will feature interactive sessions and presentations showcasing collaboration with #fishers in ongoing #bycatch projects including CIBBRiNA, @marinebeacon.bsky.social, REDUCE, MarineGuardian and ECO-CATCH. [2/3]
"Salmon remains central to #Indigenous communities, yet industrial trawl #fisheries continue to damage marine habitat and contribute to #salmon decline through #bycatch,” said Dr. Anna Schuhbauer @solvingfcb.org @drrashidsumaila.bsky.social oceanographicmagazine.com/news/contrar...
Our colleagues at USC held another working session with the owners and captains of the OPP7-Burela long-distance pelagic fleet. We are conducting individual interviews with fishers to understand how #bycatch affects fishing operations, crew safety, and the economic performance of the fleet.

In Málaga this week with @marinebeacon.bsky.social, sharing my work on #bycatch risk in the Celtic Seas and learning from partners across the project.

Diving ecology of Procellaria #petrels highlights the need to combine bird-scaring lines, weighted branch lines, and night setting in pelagic longline #fisheries zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #seabirds #bycatch @wileyecology.bsky.social
The latest trials, run in collaboration with Danish #fishers, show that the PearlNets neither affect target #fish catches nor require more handling time. This is hugely positive news, because it could make them a win-win for reducing #bycatch of ETP species while being practical for fishers. 3/
I’m sure they’re out there- some numbers from this season already:
Combined trawl fisheries have caught and thrown away this season:
7,745 Chinook salmon,
96 chum salmon,
1 million pounds of halibut,
313,411 individual crabs
Nearly 1 million pounds of herring.

Remind today´s Joint Webinar on #bycatch!:
REDUCE is developing artificial intelligence solutions to automate the analysis of large volumes of visual data generated by Electronic Monitoring Systems and thus improving fisheries monitoring in ECAO.

CIBBRiNA’s latest excluder gear tests have been featured in Nordic industry outlet Fish Break! 🌊
The CIBBRiNA Case Study 7 team have been busy developing a new excluder device to reduce the #bycatch of endangered, threatened and protected (#ETP) species in pelagic #fisheries. [1/4]
Another Joint Webinar on #bycatch from the splendid network we’ve built on the topic is coming. We´ll dive into AI integrated to EMS in bycatch monitoring, with Catarina Silva, Vasilis Minasidis and André Santos (University of Coimbra) from REDUCE.

Jacey Van Wert investigated leatherback #seaturtle #bycatch in Hawaii's deep-set longline fishery. Regs for hook shape/size, leader material recently changed to protect false killer whales & oceanic whitetip sharks. Changes increased leatherback bycatch, although impact is small. #ISTS44 #ISTS2026
Ana Vilma Henriquez Pocasangre shared group's work in #seaturtle nest protection, #bycatch reduction, education and outreach, and community collaboration, which is helping hawksbills in El Salvador to recover. In 2007, 100% of nests were consumed. In 2024, 99% were protected. #ISTS44 #ISTS2026
Bryan P. Wallace discussed his projects to work with fishers and reduce leatherback #seaturtle #bycatch in Trinidad and Tobago. "Co-created solutions take time to build trust, but ensure equitable, long-term, win-win outcomes."

Teal Guetschow investigated the use of flashing green LED lights to reduce loggerhead #seaturtle #bycatch in Trinidad and Tobago. Found 59% reduction in bycatch. Also received positive feedback from fishers involved in the experiment. #ISTS44 #ISTS2026
Andrea Kraetzer investigated the effect of buoy-less gillnets on #seaturtle #bycatch. In contrast with a previous study, she found that this type of net increased turtle bycatch by 200%. She cautioned this could be due to contextual variation, but it bears consideration. #ISTS44 #ISTS2026
Kayla Burgher tested solar- powered, flashing green LED lights as a means of reducing #seaturtle #bycatch in pound net fisheries. Found these lights reduce bycatch overall more than battery operated, static LED lights. Solar powered are easier for fishers to deploy. A win-win! #ISTS44 #ISTS2026
Political cartoon featuring a shark being shredded on a grater which turns into money falling into a bag labeled "Corporate Greed."
Throwback Thursday!! All the way back to Inktober 2025. 🤣
The art prompt for this was "Shredded." I'm a big fan of sharks and this popped into my head. 🦈🤘
