You must remove any snag on a grid line that is not recovered by the trawl and retrawl the line. Until site clearance verification procedures have been completed, you must mark the location as a hazard to navigation in accordance with U.S. Coast Guard regulations, unless we approve otherwise. A statement from the trawling contractor that no objects were recovered, or categorical descriptions and estimated size, quantity, volume, and general location of the objects that were recovered in each category during the trawling activities. The trawler must note the contents of the nets on each trawling pass. However, objects weighing less than 40 pounds and that are of such a shape or configuration that they are unlikely to snag or damage shrimping or fishing devices need not be recorded.
