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

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

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. 🦈🤘

New article from CINEA spotlights CIBBRiNA’s collaborative work with #fishers! 📣

It introduces CIBBRiNA and our 8 case studies, through which we work to reduce #bycatch across different European #fisheries. Crucial to all that we do is the knowledge and involvement of the fishing industry. [1/2]

Over 90 California Fish Stocks Almost Totally Rebuilt Thanks to Trawling Ban, Other Measures The only California native gamefish that remains overfished is the yelloweye rockfish, but even this is slated for recovery in 2029.

"a variety of measures were undertaken to give the groundfish stocks the time, space, and peace, to rebuild"
