Recovered gear analysis of North Atlantic right whale Nimbus Eg #3812.: Fs23-711/2023E-PDF
"Georgia Department of Natural Resources response team removed gear from Nimbus Eg #3812, a 15-year-old male, approximately 13 miles east of Jekyll Island, Georgia, on January 20, 2023. Analysis of recovered gear was jointly undertaken by DFO and U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on April 18, 2023. Three occurrences of interlaced segments of orange and yellow twines existed on the same section of rope along the length of the recovered rope. This is consistent with Canadian Snow Crab Fishing Area 12 coloured gear markings for buoy lines and does not match any US gear markings. Conclusion of gear origin: Canadian Snow Crab Area 12 (southern Gulf of St. Lawrence)"--Executive summary.
