Trawl survey
AUGUSTA The Department of Marine Resources spring inshore trawl survey is scheduled to begin in New Hampshire waters on May 3 and then make its way up the coast, ending in Cutler/Lubec in early June.
“The survey is designed to provide information that has not been available to NOAA Fisheries Service for stock assessments,” the DMR wrote in a statement. “Obtaining this information is critical to making rational management decisions. The better information we have about all our fisheries resources, the better we can ensure a future for both fishermen and the resource.”
On scheduled tow days, the DMR is asking that an area one-eighth of a mile on either side of the tow line be clear of fixed gear.
