Release, and Identification Workshops 

have been conducted since 2006. 

In addition to certifying vessel 

owners, at least one operator on board 

vessels issued a limited-access 

swordfish or shark permit that uses 

longline or gillnet gear is required to 

attend a Protected Species Safe 

Handling, Release, and Identification 

Workshop and receive a certificate. 

Vessels that have been issued a limitedaccess swordfish or shark permit and 

that use longline or gillnet gear may not 

fish unless both the vessel owner and 

operator have valid workshop 

certificates onboard at all times. Vessel 

operators who have not already 

attended a workshop and received a 

NMFS certificate, or vessel operators 

whose certificate(s) will expire prior to 

their next fishing trip, must attend a 

workshop to operate a vessel with 

swordfish and shark limited-access 

permits that uses longline or gillnet 

gear.

following specific items with them to 

the workshop: 

• Individual vessel owners must 

bring a copy of the appropriate 

swordfish and/or shark permit(s), a copy 

of the vessel registration or 

documentation, and proof of 

identification. 

• Representatives of a businessowned or co-owned vessel must bring

Workshop Objectives 

The Protected Species Safe Handling, 

Release, and Identification Workshops 

are designed to teach longline and 

gillnet fishermen the required 

techniques for the safe handling and 

release of entangled and/or hooked 

protected species, such as sea turtles, 

marine mammals, and smalltooth 

sawfish. In an effort to improve 

reporting, the proper identification of 

protected species will also be taught at 

these workshops. Additionally, 

individuals attending these workshops 

will gain a better understanding of the 

requirements for participating in these 

fisheries. The overall goal of these 

workshops is to provide participants 

with the skills needed to reduce the 

mortality of protected species, which 

may prevent additional regulations on 

these fisheries in the future.
