seine

Many birds drown in purse seine nets each year.

The fishing practices, including trawling and the use of gill and seine nets, were shown to cause physical pressures such as abrasion, smothering, siltation and total habitat loss.

Local communities believe that certain fishing practices, such as spearfishing with scuba gear and semi-industrial fishing with purse seines and night lights, are major contributors to the decline of fish stocks.

Using a seine, the Karuk Tribe fisheries team formed a circle and pulled up their catch.
