Description:On the U.S. West Coast, reports of whales entangled in fishing gear increased dramati - cally in 2014. In this study, a time series of fishing activity maps was developed from 2009 to 2016 for the four fixed- gear fisheries most commonly implicated in entangle - ments. Maps were generated using vessel monitoring system (VMS) data linked to port- level landings databases, which were related to entangled whale reports over the same time period and with modelled distributions of humpback whales Megaptera novaean - gliae Borowski. Over the full study period, neither marked increases in fishing activity
