Bycatch
Bycatch can be unwanted fish, marine mammals, sea turtles, and seabirds that become hooked or entangled in fishing gear. Learn about this complex, global issue that threatens the sustainability of our fishing communities, economies, and ocean ecosystems.
National Bycatch Report
The National Bycatch Report provides bycatch estimates at the fishery and species level.
Bycatch Bites
Bycatch comes in many different forms and affects people in different ways. We asked a few of these people for their perspectives on bycatch.
National Bycatch Reduction Strategy
The National Bycatch Reduction Strategy, developed in collaboration with partners, includes objectives and actions that build on past successes and guide NOAA Fisheries’ efforts to reduce bycatch and bycatch mortality.
Bycatch
Bycatch—marine animals caught incidentally while fishing for another species—is a complex issue. Minimizing bycatch is vital for sustainable fisheries and protecting marine life.
Bycatch Reduction Engineering Program
The Bycatch Reduction Engineering Program (BREP) provides funding to those looking for creative solutions to fishery bycatch challenges.
Bycatch Reduction Engineering Program Funding
Funding opportunities through the Bycatch Reduction Engineering Program, known as BREP, for innovative solutions to fisheries bycatch challenges.
Reducing Bycatch Through Innovation
Innovations in gear help reduce bycatch across the country.
National Bycatch Reduction Strategy
This strategy builds on past and ongoing efforts to reduce bycatch.
Understanding Bycatch
Fishing operations sometimes result in “bycatch” of non-target species. Learn how NOAA Fisheries is working with partners to reduce bycatch.
Additional Seabird Bycatch Resources
Non-NOAA organizations working to reduce seabird bycatch - their projects, data and reports.
Bycatch Reduction Device Testing Manual - 2016
This Bycatch Reduction Device Testing Manual (Manual) establishes a standardized process for evaluating whether bycatch reduction device (BRD) candidates meet the established bycatch reduction criterion.
Halibut Bycatch Rates in Alaska
Halibut prohibited species bycatch by gear, area, target, week, and processing sector.
Crab Bycatch Rates in Alaska
Crab bycatch rates for the groundfish fisheries in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands and the Gulf of Alaska.
Exploring Solutions for Sea Turtle Bycatch
This Sea Turtle Week, we talk with Barbara Schroeder, National Sea Turtle Coordinator, about bycatch innovations that are helping sea turtles thrive and how we work with fishermen to reduce bycatch.
NOAA Reports Progress in Finding Bycatch Solutions
Today, NOAA released the Bycatch Reduction Engineering Report to Congress detailing the agency's progress in preventing and reducing bycatch through research on technology innovation and fishing practice solutions.
