Skimmer Trawl TED Rule Meetings

MSCFU to Host Skimmer Trawl TED Virtual Meeting to Help Shrimp Industry Comply with New NOAA TED Rule Taking Effect Soon

Mississippi Commercial Fisheries United will host two separate informational meetings for shrimp fishermen (one in English on 3/18/2021 and one in Vietnamese on 3/19/2021) regarding the pending NOAA TED rule that will require all skimmer trawl shrimp vessels 40 feet in length and greater to use turtle excluder devices with 3″ bar spacing beginning on April 01, 2021.

MSCFU has invited members of NOAA’s Gear Monitoring Team out of Pascagoula, MS to present information regarding the pending TED rule and answer any questions that you may have.

We will also discuss potential funding that may become available to help Mississippi skimmer trawl shrimpers receive reimbursement for TED costs. These meetings will be held virtually only (for now) using the login or call-in information below. The meetings will be recorded and posted for later viewing.
