marine mammals, and smalltooth 

sawfish. Identification of protected 

species will also be taught at these 

workshops in an effort to improve 

reporting. Additionally, individuals 

attending these workshops will gain a 

better understanding of the 

requirements for participating in these 

fisheries. The overall goal for these 

workshops is to provide participants the 

skills needed to reduce the mortality of 

protected species, which may prevent 

additional regulations on these fisheries 

in the future. 

Grandfathered Permit Holders 

Participants in the industry-sponsored 

workshops on safe handling and release 

of sea turtles that were held in Orlando, 

FL (April 8, 2005) and in New Orleans, 

LA (June 27, 2005) were issued a NOAA 

workshop certificate in December 2006 

that is valid for three years. 

Grandfathered permit holders must 

include a copy of this certificate when 

renewing limited access shark and 

limited access swordfish permits each 

year. Failure to provide a valid NOAA 

workshop certificate may result in a 

permit denial.
