Description:In 2015 and 2016 NOAA Fisheries provided funding for 34 BREP awards. This report summarizes the outcomes of those awards. While these awards were made in FY2015 and FY 2016, most of the work discussed here occurred during calendar years 2016 and 2017. This report shows that funding bycatch reduction research, as with any research, can have a range of outcomes. Some research yields results that can be directly applied in a management context. Other research posed valid questions that did not lead to actionable results. Most of the research involved important collaboration with the fishing industry which improves the likelihood of successfully applying research findings in fisheries. Finding technological solutions to bycatch problems can be a multi-year and multi-disciplinary endeavor requiring technical expertise, collaboration with fishermen, and effective communication with managers.
