Layer: Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan Regulated and Exempted Waters (ID: 10)

Name: Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan Regulated and Exempted Waters

Display Field: AREANAME

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: NOAA Fisheries implemented the Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan (ALWTRP) to reduce injuries and deaths of humpback, fin, and right whales due to incidental entanglement in fishing gear from Maine to Florida. The ALWTRP is an evolving plan that changes as NOAA Fisheries learns more about why whales become entangled and how fishing practices might be modified to reduce the risk of entanglement. The current Plan includes restrictions on where and how gear can be set, including closures and gear modifications such as use of sinking groundline and weak links, trap minimums, and gear markings. Other components of the Plan include research on whale populations, whale behavior, and fishing gear interactions; outreach to inform and collaborate with fishermen; and a disentanglement program. The ALWTRP applies to certain gillnet and trap/pot fisheries. ALWTRP regulations apply to all U.S. waters in the Atlantic, and certain areas are exempt.
