NMFS is establishing a Take Reduction Team (TRT or Team) and convening a meeting to address the incidental mortality and serious injury of the Central America/Southern Mexico--CA/OR/WA (CAM) stock and Mainland Mexico--CA/OR/WA (MM) stock of humpback whales in the WA/OR/CA sablefish pot fishery. The TRT will develop a Take Reduction Plan (TRP or Plan) as required by the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). The TRT is charged with developing consensus recommendations to reduce incidental mortality and serious injury of these stocks in this fishery to levels approaching a zero mortality and serious injury rate for each stock within 5 years of implementation of the plan pursuant to the MMPA.
