| IRS990/Desc | 0 | MARINE SCIENTISTS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE HAVE DOCUMENTED THAT THE LINE AND BUOY SYSTEM IN POT/TRAP FISHERIES HAS CAUSED INJURY AND DEATH TO WHALES, ENDANGERED SEA TURTLES AND OTHER MARINE LIFE. SUBLETHAL INJURIES WHICH HAS REDUCED REPRODUCTIVE CAPABILITY IN MARINE MAMMALS DUE TO THE NEGATIVE EFFECT FROM ENTANGLEMENT. THERE ARE MANY MARINE ANIMALS THAT ARE LISTED UNDER THE MARINE MAMMAL PROTECTION ACT (MMPA) AND ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT (ESA) THAT SMELTS HAVE PRIORITY TO DEVELOP A SOLUTION TO PROTECT SUCH CREATURES FROM INJURY. SMELTS LINE LESS LIFT BAG TECHNOLOGY REMOVES THE NEED FOR VERTICAL LINES AND BUOYS NEEDED TO HAUL BOTTOM SET TRAP/POT FISHERIES WHICH IS THE CURRENT SYSTEM FOR BOTTOM SET FISHING. LARGE CETACEAN ENTANGLEMENTS HAVE THREATENED CLOSURES FOR COMMERCIAL BOTTOM SET FISHING. SMELTS HAS HAD GREAT INTEREST AND SUPPORT FOR ITS LINE LESS LIFT BAG TECHNOLOGY FROM THE ISLAND FOUNDATION, SR 3, NOAA, PEW CHARITABLE TRUST, NATIONAL FISH AND WILDLIFE FOUNDATION, DIVISION OF MARINE FISHERIES MASSACHUSETTS, CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE, PACIFIC MAMMAL RESEARCH, MARINE-MED, BLUE PLANET STRATEGIES, STELLWAGEN BANK NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY, WOODS HOLE OCEANOGRAPHIC INSTITUTION, AND NORTHEAST FISHERIES SCIENCE CENTER.
