Description
Summary:Effectiveness of mitigation measures to reduce interactions between commercial fishing gear and whales. Objectives: 1. Start to collect additional information required to determine the spatial and temporal extent of migrating whales and how this overlaps with commercial fishing gear. 2. Examine the effectiveness of potential gear modifications to the float rigs of fishing pots/traps to reduce their likelihood of entangling whales.
