Description:The southeastern U.S. shrimp trawl fishery is central to the economic and cultural well-being of
coastal residents across the region. This fishery overlaps significantly with the distribution of
many coastal shark species, including large coastal sharks like blacktip shark (Carcharhinus
limbatus) (Scott-Denton 2012). This spatial and temporal overlap facilitates depredation (defined
as partial or complete damage to fish and/or fishing gear by non-target species) by placing
sharks near fishing gear, which can result in loss of target catch, damage to trawl gear, and lost
fishing opportunities (Fertl 1994, Fertl and Leatherwood 1997).
