SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for revision and
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Sea turtles can become accidentally
entangled in active or discarded fishing
gear, marine debris, or other line in the
marine environment. Entanglement has
the potential to cause serious injury or
mortality, which would negatively
impact the recovery of endangered and
threatened sea turtle populations. The
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration’s (NOAA) National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)
established the Sea Turtle
Disentanglement Network (STDN) to
respond to these entanglement events,
in particular those involving the vertical
line of fixed gear fisheries. The STDN’s
goals are to increase reporting, to reduce
serious injury and mortality to sea
turtles, and to collect information that
can be used for mitigation of these
threats. As there is limited observer
coverage of fixed gear fisheries, the
STDN data are invaluable to NMFS in
understanding the threat of
entanglement and working towards
mitigation.
II. Method of Collection
Reports will be submitted on paper
(faxed or mailed), by telephone, or
electronically.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0496.
