Bycatch is a contentious issue in Alaska, with the big Bering Sea trawl fleet taking some heat for poor salmon runs on the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers. But science suggests that bycatch is no more than a minor factor in the salmon failures. Whatever role it plays, the North Pacific Fishery Management Council is taking some steps on the issue -- albeit, very slow steps for now. alaskabeacon.com/2023/04/11/fi

Only a handful of instances of accidental bycatch of whales, dolphins and porpoises have been recorded under the UK government’s self-reporting initiative, despite the likelihood that hundreds are being caught by fishing vessels.
But last year fishers only made 19 reports, even though experts estimate that about 1,000 porpoises, hundreds of dolphins and tens of whales die in UK waters each year.

Another dolphin got killed in a "shark net" in Sydney.

Here is a video from yesterday's swim to demonstrate the uselessness of the net at Bondi. We swim over, under, around it and so could sharks. Only accidental gets killed.
