This one year project provided for the initiation of research designed
to gather information which will eventually lead to the successful reduction
of finfish bycatch in the shrimp fishery. Such a result is ecologically and
economically beneficial to the industry, the region, and the Nation.
Successful completion of a bycatch reduction program will economically benefit
the shrimp industry and other fisheries affected by the incidental mortality
that occurs in the shrimp fishery, and have a positive ecological impact on
the marine faunal community that inhabits the shrimp grounds.

To garner otherwise unobtainable information, and thus enhance the
reliability of management strategies, observers aboard voluntarily
participating commercial shark vessels documented a sample catch and effort of
the southeast U.S. commercial shark longline fishery. With only two years of
data, no conclusive trends can be determined concerning the health of the
shark stock, but given that much of the catch inside 10-15 fathoms is immature
fish or pregnant females, continued fishing pressure in nearshore (
