Ocean trawling is defined as using a trawl vessel with a federal ‘A’ permit to harvest groundfish as identified by the Pacific Fishery Management Council within the allotted trawl quota or by harvesting any other species with a trawl net (e.g. pink shrimp, Pandalus jordani). The trawl vessel uses a trawl net, other gear types, or any combination thereof in harvesting.

“Trawl Net” means a bag-shaped net composed of wings, body, intermediate and cod-end section, held open by two boats, otter boards, trawl doors, or a fixed beam frame commonly known as a “beam trawl”. The cod-end section is the last 50 meshes of a trawl net. The intermediate section is the next 50 meshes forward of the cod-end section.

Other gear types are defined as pot and longline gear.
