Tuna regional fisheries management organizations and the conservation of sea turtles: a reply to Godley et al.

Submitted by allykristan on

This letter briefly outlines actions taken by the five tuna regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) to reduce sea turtle bycatch in tuna and tuna-like fisheries. Recent initiatives include impact assessments, bycatch mitigation measures for pelagic fisheries, identification of sea turtle bycatch patterns in longline and perse seine tuna fisheries, and a joint tuna RFMO Bycatch Working Group meeting that took place in December 2019.

Vulnerability of the Critically Endangered leatherback turtle to fisheries bycatch in the eastern Pacific Ocean. II. Assessment of mitigation measures

Submitted by allykristan on

The authors compiled fishing effort data from a nearly 20 year period across 18 different longline, gillnet and purse seine fisheries in the eastern Pacific Ocean in order to assess/model vulnerability of leatherback sea turtles to fishing impacts under 70 different conservation management measure (CMM) scenarios. To do this, a new ecological risk assessment approach, the Ecological Assessment for the Sustainable Impacts of Fisheries (EASI-Fish), was used.
