Opinion Emergency Response Plan." Weekly Report, Week 17 though

Because of continued elevated levels of sea turtle strandings in NMFS
statistical Zones 20 and 18, emergency restrictions were filed with the
Federal Register on April 27, 1995, which became effective at 12:01 a.m.,
April 30, 1995. The restrictions apply to shrimp trawling in Gulf of Mexico
offshore waters out to 10 nautical miles, along two sections of the Texas and
Louisiana coasts. While TED requirements remain in effect, the use of soft
TEDs, bottom opening TEDs, try nets without top opening hard TEDs, and flaps
that completely cover the escape opening on top opening hard TEDs are
prohibited. In essence, the only type of TED that can be used in the
restricted areas is a top opening hard TED with a flap that does not cover the
escape opening. The restrictions will remain in effect for 30 days.

Analysis of Data for the Reef Fish Program." U.S. Department of
Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,

Management Service, Southeast Fisheries Center, 75 Virginia Beach
Drive, Miami, Florida, October, 30 pp.
The purpose of this survey is to collect data on the reef fish fishery
(primarily snapper and grouper) throughout the South Atlantic and Gulf area so
that a catch-effort data system would emerge, which would provide information
concerning species and number of individual fish, effort expended, gear type
and quantity, area and depth of capture, and prices received by fishermen.
