Description
Peter and Tyler welcome Rob Morris to the show to learn about ropeless fishing technologies that are currently in production and can greatly reduce the risks to Northern Atlantic Right Whales associated with fishing gear entanglements. His firm, Edgetech, offers the Ropeless Fishing System, which enables fishermen to transmit a sonic signature from their boat to a submerged trap trap. The signal releases the trap's door, and rope and buoy come to the surface where its business as usual. We learn about this system. How it works and how much it costs. And, we discuss how fisheries of all types will need to embrace new technologies as management keeps pace with climate change.
