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. 🦈🤘

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]
Join us today with Cesar Bordehore presenting the keys, approach and actions of the project "Sea4Future"
