Solutions to bycatch problems will come from a strong industrygovernment
partnership that makes good use of the energies and skills of the
conservation and academic communities. The proper role of government is not
to force bycatch regulations and systems on an already heavily burdened
industry. Instead, it should be to provide planning support, sponsor and
coordinate research, disseminate bycatch data and other information, educate

has been learned so far about resolving bycatch problems.
