Description:

This project was conducted to identify factors contributing to sea turtle bycatch in the commercial reef fish bottom longline (BLL) fishery operating in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), and identify opportunities for conservation measures that could be implemented through future restoration actions. The primary sea turtle species observed as bycatch in this fishery is loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta). We conducted a full assessment of the best available data to identify factors, such as fishing gear and fishing practices, involved in the bycatch of sea turtles. We have summarized the findings in this report and have provided information helpful to inform and develop conservation strategies and options for future restoration actions. Funding for this project was provided by the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Open Ocean Trustee Implementation Group through selection of the project in the Open Ocean Trustee Implementation Group Restoration Plan #2 and Environmental Assessment as a Sea Turtle Restoration Project.
