Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea

Squid, and Butterfish Advisory Panel. 

The purpose of this meeting is to review 

and provide feedback on sea turtle trawl 

bycatch issues and the ongoing research 

on mitigation measures in the Greater 

Atlantic Region. Fisheries bycatch is a 

primary threat to endangered and 

threatened sea turtles and occurs at high 

levels in trawl fisheries such as croaker, 

longfin squid, and summer flounder. 

NMFS and other partners have been 

investigating mitigation measures such 

as gear modifications called Turtle 

Excluder Devices (TEDs) or limited tow 

durations to reduce mortality of 

incidentally bycaught sea turtles.

The meeting is physically accessible
