Sea Grant Fact Sheet Explains TED Rules Brunswick County commercial fishermen arc sometimes befuddled by the complicated gear require ments handed down by state and federal agencies charged with man aging ihe fisheries. This is especially true for the new Turtle Excluder Device (TED) regulations passed by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in December. To reach affected fishermen and help them into compliance, UNC Sea Grant has prepared a fact sheet on the latest TED requirements, in cluding a synopsis of who must use TEDs and who may fish under tow limc limits. Another helpful Sea Grant guide uses a question-and-answer format for telling fishermen when they should use TEDs or tow times in in land waters or off North Carolina's shoreline. To ensure that the an swers arc accurate and reflect the of ficial NMFS position, the sheet has been completed by Chuck Oravctz, director of the Office of Protected Species at the Southeast Regional Office or NMFS. Educating North Carolina's commercial fishermen to the new TED rules will bring them quickly into compliance to avoid citations and promptly address the concerns of the NMFS, says Jim Bahcn, a Sea Grant marine advisory specialist. Bahcn authored both publications. Failure to comply is a violation of the federal Endangered Species Act, he added. The "TED-UP '93" fact sheet summarizes the latest guidelines for equipping fishing boats with TEDs. As a rule, boats with a mechanical retrieval system (wench) must use TEDs. Here is a sampling of the guidelines: ?Alter Jan. 1, 1993, all shrimp trawlers operating in the ocean must use TEDs. ? By Dec. 1, 1994, TEDs will be re quired in most shrimp nets in all North Carolina trawlable waters year-round. Very few exceptions will be allowed. ?TEDs are required on all shrimp trawlers that work in North Carolina's inside trawlable waters when they use a single trawl with a headrope of 35 feet or longer and a lootrope of 44 feet or longer. ?Trawlers using multiple nets of any size to shrimp the inside waters of North Carolina must use TEDs in each net. ?Few exceptions for tow times? and alternative to TEDs?will be al lowed. Bahcn, however, lists a sam pling of these. Skimmer trawls, wing nets and pusher-head trawls arc eligible for tow limes. Also exempted from TEDs, for instance, are bait shrimpers who retain all live shrimp in a circulating seawater system and have no more than 32 pounds of dead shrimp on Nurd. In cases when low times are al lowed, tows must be limited to 55 minutes or less Irom April I through oct. 31, 1W3. Tows musi be limited to no more than 75 minutes during the rest of the year. The time is mea sured from the moment doors are submerged in water to the lime they emerge. The queslion-and-answer guide, designed for watermen who missed NMFS meetings or workshops, de scribes 15 scenarios under which TEDs or tow times are required. The questions arc written from the fish erman's point of view to give a clear, real-life example of when TEDs are needed. Further explanations of the new federal rules can be arranged with Sea Grant's Marine Advisory Service, which will conduct commu nity meetings for fishermen. Brunswick Opened To Shellfishermen Brunswick County shellfish wa ters were re opened to fishermen Monday, ending a three-week period during which all local waters had been closed to oyster and clam har vesting.
