Description:The purpose of the careful release equipment described in this document is to increase post-release survival of incidentally-captured sea turtles and other animals by releasing them with minimal injury. These design standards describe the minimum specifications to construct or purchase gear that has been approved by the NMFS Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) for use. Please check with the applicable regulations as the final authority for required tools and specifications in each fishery. This design standards manual is the companion document to the NMFS SEFSC Technical Memorandum Careful Release Protocols for Sea Turtle Release with Minimal Injury (NMFS-SEFSC-TM-735), which details the proper use of this equipment.
