 | | Alternative A11 (prohibit the use of pelagic longline gear in Atlantic HMS fisheries) would afford the greatest protection to sea turtles domestically, but it was rejected, at this time, because other bycatch and bycatch mortality reduction alternatives are available, and alternative A11 would impose the most significant adverse economic impacts of all the alternatives. |
 | | Alternative A14 (prohibit the use of pelagic longline gear in HMS Fisheries in areas of the Central GOM and NEC year-round) was rejected because, at this time, other bycatch and bycatch mortality reduction alternatives are available. |
 | | Alternative 15 (prohibit the use of pelagic longline gear in HMS Fisheries in areas of the Central GOM and NEC from May through October) was rejected, at this time, because other bycatch and bycatch mortality reduction alternatives are available. |
