Marine Mammal and Sea Turtle /Fisheries Interactions in North Carolina

摘要

One approach that ASMFC could examine to evaluate fisheries interactions with protected species in state waters is to (1) delineate the spatio-temporal distribution of the protected species, (2) characterizethe types of gears in use by the fisheries in state waters and delineate the spatio-temporal use of these gears, and (3) determine the probability that a particular fishery takes protected species based on the coincidence in time and space of the species and fisheries.
