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.

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.

NOAA Fisheries is transitioning the U.S. National Bycatch Report to a dynamic database, called the Bycatch Data Reporting from Observer Programs (Bycatch DROP) database, which will be housed within the Fisheries One Stop Shop platform.

Today, NOAA Fisheries is awarding more than $2.4 million to partners around the country to support innovative bycatch reduction research projects through its Bycatch Reduction Engineering Program (BREP).  Bycatch occurs when fishing operations dis

Learn about bycatch reduction device requirements in the Southeast.

Bycatch—the catch of non-target species—is a complex, global issue that threatens the sustainability of our fishing communities, economies, and ocean ecosystems. Learn how we work to develop, test, and adopt gears that reduce bycatch in U.S. fisheries.

Bycatch, a major threat to sustainable populations, poses a particular challenge in developing countries with fisheries that export to the United States.

NOAA Fisheries has published the U.S. National Bycatch Report First Edition Update 3, which provides information on overall bycatch trends for major U.S. fisheries for 2014 and 2015.

Prohibited species bycatch rates for the groundfish fisheries in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands and the Gulf of Alaska.

The focus of this report is to add and describe seabird bycatch data for 2018. This report presents bycatch estimates from the following gear types: demersal longline, pelagic trawl, non-pelagic trawl, and pot.

More than $2.3 million will go to partners to support innovative bycatch reduction research projects.
