This dataset depicts the boundaries of the Tilefish Gear Restricted Areas.

Fishermen use many different types of fishing gear and catch a wide variety of species. Usually, fishermen use certain types of fishing gear to target specific species. However, these different fishing methods can accidentally capture or injure other non-

Turtle excluder devices promote sea turtle conservation by addressing interactions between sea turtles and trawl fishing gear.

Marking fishing gear helps us understand the origin of gear entangling whales and prevent whale and other marine mammal entanglements.

Temporarily reopen the 2021 Limited Entry Fixed Gear sablefish primary fishery to vessels using pot/trap gear North of 36° North latitude until December 31, 2021.

Public Comment Requested: Gear Considerations in Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Fisheries

By using controlled experiments with wild-caught animals, we provide novel insights on fine-scale behavioral interactions with fishing gear.

Highly migratory species include Pacific tunas, swordfish, sharks, and billfish. We provide a general overview of the fisheries and gear used to catch highly migratory species along the U.S. West Coast.

This action updates the Federal list of authorized fisheries and gear issued under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA, at 16 U.S.C. 1855(a)). The List of Fisheries includes a description of fisheries allowed to operate in t

NOAA Fisheries approves new selective trawl gear for use in several non-groundfish fisheries when subject to the Georges Bank yellowtail flounder accountability measure.

Map and GIS data representing reef fish longline and buoy gear restricted fishery management area in the Gulf of Mexico.

Gear alternatives for catching swordfish are being explored through the use of Exempted Fishing Permits. Stakeholder workshops have also been held to discuss management and monitoring of the swordfish fishery.

The gear library is a collection of on-demand or “ropeless” systems, built with help and donations from environmental and academic organizations, that we lend to fishermen for testing.
