The latest trials, run in collaboration with Danish #fishers, show that the PearlNets neither affect target #fish catches nor require more handling time. This is hugely positive news, because it could make them a win-win for reducing #bycatch of ETP species while being practical for fishers. 3/

I’m sure they’re out there- some numbers from this season already:
Combined trawl fisheries have caught and thrown away this season:
7,745 Chinook salmon,
96 chum salmon,
1 million pounds of halibut,
313,411 individual crabs
Nearly 1 million pounds of herring.

Jacey Van Wert investigated leatherback #seaturtle #bycatch in Hawaii's deep-set longline fishery. Regs for hook shape/size, leader material recently changed to protect false killer whales & oceanic whitetip sharks. Changes increased leatherback bycatch, although impact is small. #ISTS44 #ISTS2026

Andrea Kraetzer investigated the effect of buoy-less gillnets on #seaturtle #bycatch. In contrast with a previous study, she found that this type of net increased turtle bycatch by 200%. She cautioned this could be due to contextual variation, but it bears consideration. #ISTS44 #ISTS2026

Kayla Burgher tested solar- powered, flashing green LED lights as a means of reducing #seaturtle #bycatch in pound net fisheries. Found these lights reduce bycatch overall more than battery operated, static LED lights. Solar powered are easier for fishers to deploy. A win-win! #ISTS44 #ISTS2026

Political cartoon featuring a shark being shredded on a grater which turns into money falling into a bag labeled "Corporate Greed."
Throwback Thursday!! All the way back to Inktober 2025. 🤣
The art prompt for this was "Shredded." I'm a big fan of sharks and this popped into my head. 🦈🤘

New article from CINEA spotlights CIBBRiNA’s collaborative work with #fishers! 📣
It introduces CIBBRiNA and our 8 case studies, through which we work to reduce #bycatch across different European #fisheries. Crucial to all that we do is the knowledge and involvement of the fishing industry. [1/2]
