- Mortality of Dungeness crabs due to lost traps and the cost benefit of removal in Washington state waters of the Salish Sea
- - Kyle Antonelis, Daniel Huppert, Don Velasquez, Jeff June
- The loss of Dungeness crabs Cancer magister due to lost traps was estimated from catches and mortalities in 24 simulated lost traps in two locations in Washington State. Equal numbers of recreational and commercial crab traps were initially baited and then monitored by divers weekly until the bait was consumed and then bi-weekly for one year. Crabs caught were individually tagged. Catch, escapement, retained catch and mortality rates were estimated. Part of the derelict fishing gear program

- Derelict Fishing Net Removal in Puget Sound
- - Northwest Straits Foundation, Joan Drinkwin, Ginny Broadhurst
- Thirty-one days of derelict fishing gear removal operations were conducted from October, 2008 through August, 2009. Removals were conducted in the San Juan archipelago at Lawson’s Reef and off of Lummi, Lopez, and San Juan Islands. One hundred twenty-three (123) derelict gillnets, 8 purse seines, and four crab pots were removed. Nets measured 16.2 acres. More than 8,000 animals were found entangled in the removed gear, including eight dead marine birds and 29 fish. Derelict gear program. Conoco

- Ghosts of the Salish Sea: Threats to Marine Birds in Puget Sound and the Northwest Straits from Derelict Fishing Gear
- - Thomas P. Good, Jeffrey A. June, Michael A. Etnier, Ginny Broadhurst
- Derelict fishing gear—lost or abandoned commercial and recreational fishing nets, lines, pots and traps that sit or float underwater—can remain in the marine environment for years, trapping and killing marine birds. The goal of the analyses is to identify and explore patterns of gear type, condition, orientation and spatiotemporal relationships for the derelict gillnets recovered, particularly with respect to marine birds entangled therein.

- Marine Habitat Recovery of Five Derelict Fishing Gear Removal Sites in Puget Sound, Washington
- - Natural Resources Consultants, Inc.
- This study showed that marine habitat service functions are negatively affected by derelict fishing gear. It showed that natural ocean processes succeed in restoring these service functions within a single growing season after derelict fishing gear removal for areas dominated by kelp. Eelgrass beds take longer to recover, but can improve by 30% in less than a year.

- Rates of Marine Species Mortality Caused by Derelict Fishing Nets in Puget Sound, Washington
- - Northwest Straits
- During the spring and summer of 2007 the Northwest Straits Initiative and Natural Resources Consultants, Inc., began a derelict net monitoring project in Puget Sound, Washington, to study the rates at which derelict gillnets entangle marine animals and the decomposition processes those animals undertake after entanglement. This is one component of the larger derelict fishing gear (derelict gear) program.

- Derelict Fishing Gear Priority Ranking Project
- - Northwest Straits Foundation
- This report identifies the highest priority areas in Puget Sound for derelict fishing gear removal based on objective criteria developed by experts in the field. It gives an estimate the total amount of derelict fishing gear accumulations throughout Puget Sound and the costs of removing 80-90 per cent of derelict fishing gear from the highest priority areas by 2012 based on estimated total accumulations and known removal costs.

- The goals of the 2006 Clallam County derelict gear project are (1) to assess the extent of the problem of derelict crab and shrimp pots in water deeper than removal divers can reach, (2) determine the feasibility of deep water derelict crab and shrimp pot removal using a remote operated vehicle (ROV), (3) measure the loss rate of derelict crab and shrimp pots in areas were derelict pot removals have occurred, and (4) continue to locate and remove derelict fishing gear in Clallam County.
