NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information. Dataset. https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/archive/accession/0144841 The Southeast Fisheries Science Center Mississippi Laboratories is responsible for new gear development and testing to reduce bycatch and incidental interactions of protected species. A gear repository and associated fishing gear database are maintained and updated quarterly to track all reported human interactions with sea turtles strandings. Fishing gear and other articles from human interactions are collected by the Southeast Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network (STSSN) and shipped to the gear repository for analysis and archiving. The gear is reviewed by staff gear experts that have a background in the particular fishery or commercial/recreational application. To provide data on the interactions between humans and fishing gear, and sea turtles. onGoing Bergmann, Charles E 228-549-1760 228-769-9200 3209 Frederic St. Pascagoula MS 39568 charles.bergmann@noaa.gov custodian asNeeded DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI > National Centers for Environmental Information, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NODC > National Oceanographic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce DOC/NOAA/NMFS/SEFSC > Southeast Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 17.0 EARTH SCIENCE > AGRICULTURE > AGRICULTURAL AQUATIC SCIENCES > FISHERIES EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > AQUATIC SCIENCES > FISHERIES theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 17.0 OCEAN > ATLANTIC OCEAN > NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN OCEAN > ATLANTIC OCEAN > NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN > CARIBBEAN SEA > SABA OCEAN > ATLANTIC OCEAN > NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN > GULF OF AMERICA place Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Location Keywords 20.8 0144841 144841 theme NODC ACCESSION NUMBER FISHERY SURVEY - GEAR TYPE - DETAILS theme NODC DATA TYPES visual estimate theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES US DOC; NOAA; NMFS; Southeast Fisheries Science Center; Bay St. Louis, MS Laboratory theme NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode Coastal Waters Of Alabama Coastal Waters Of Florida Coastal Waters Of Louisiana Coastal Waters Of MIssissippi Coastal Waters Of Texas Gulf of Mexico place NODC SEA AREA NAMES MULTIPLE SHIPS platform NODC PLATFORM NAMES Gear Interactions Sea Turtle theme 1989-2015 temporal DOC/NOAA/NMFS/SEFSC > Southeast Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
