Area and seasonal closures are common, the devastating use of explosives on reefs is being prohibited, and fishermen are being trained in new fishing practices. Industry and netmakers are working closely with governments to understand how the swimming behavior of bycatch species can be channeled to avoid cap- turing them. And where protected species are present, vessel crews are being taught to resus- citate and release captured sea turtles and other animals. But it is important to remember, reflecting the Magnuson-Stevens Act goal of minimizing bycatch to the extent practicable, that there will always be some bycatch in fishing activi- ties. Perhaps most encouragingly, there is a growing global commitment to reducing bycatch. Cooperative industry-government efforts are increasing, permitting rapid integration of new products and timely information into fishing operations. The National Marine Fisheries Service and its parent organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, believe these partnerships are the key to improved bycatch Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original United States.
