discuss practical issues surrounding
potential requirements for trawl sweeps
in Bering Sea bottom trawl fisheries.
Bottom trawl gear modifications are
being considered as an alternative to
reduce the impacts of fishing on benthic
habitat in the Bering Sea. Research has
indicated that adding discs or rollers to
the sweep reduces bottom contact
without substantially reducing catch
rates of target species. Details of a gear
requirement, such as disc size,
composition, spacing, attachment, and
enforcement have not yet been
determined. While testimony before the
Council and its committees will be the
venue to address whether such
regulations should be pursued, this
workshop provides a venue to gather
practical information, identify issues
relative to enforcement and
implementation of potential regulations,
and identify workable solutions.
Special Accommodations
This meeting is physically accessible
to people with disabilities. Requests for
sign language interpretation or other
auxiliary aids should be directed to Gail
Bendixen, (907) 271–2809, at least 5
working days prior to the meeting date.
