"In 1999, Canada endorsed the United Nations International Plan of Action to reduce the incidental catch of seabirds in longline fisheries; at that time the extent of seabird bycatch in British Columbia (BC) was unknown. All signatories to the Plan were asked to evaluate the effect that their fisheries had on seabird populations. Understanding the extent of seabird bycatch is also important to Fisheries and Oceans Canada in order to manage their fisheries in accordance with the UN Code of Conduct of Responsible Fishers. The initial purpose of this review was to summarise existing seabird bycatch data in the longline fisheries in BC, in order to develop a National Plan of Action. Based on the desire to understand the level of bycatch in more than the longline fisheries, we expanded the review to also include net fisheries"--Abstract. Issued also in print format.
