Description:
"The U.S. West Coast and Alaska Trawl Fisheries Seabird Cable Strike Mitigation Workshop was held on 7-8 November 2017 at the NOAA Fisheries West Coast Region in Seattle, Washington. The workshop was hosted by a Steering Committee consisting of members from NOAA's Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC), Alaska Fisheries Center (AFSC), and the Alaska Regional Office (AKR). In early 2017, the Steering Committee scoped goals and objectives for the meeting; these formed the basis for the overall vision of the workshop. Members of the Steering Committee are listed in Appendix A. Workshop planning, organization, and facilitation services were provided by Veda Environmental, under contract to the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC). Thirty-nine workshop attendees from Alaska, Washington, and Oregon--representatives of the groundfish trawl fishing industry, seafood associations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and federal agencies--participated in the 1.5-day workshop. Appendix A lists the participants' names and affiliations. Day one (a full day) of the workshop included presentations from subject-matter experts on the scope and scale of the seabird cable strike issue in the North Pacific, as well as mitigation strategies utilized elsewhere in the world. The presentations were followed by breakout group discussions of mitigation strategies and designs. Day two (a half day) was devoted to prioritizing mitigation measures for seabird cable strikes and brainstorming implementation hurdles and next steps for the priority mitigation measures. The workshop agenda is provided in Appendix B"--Executive summary.
