Summary edit

Description

Several NOAA representatives and other guests recently participated in a NOAA-funded marine debris removal project off the north Oregon Coast. Derelict trawl nets have been lost in close proximity to undersea fiber-optic cables that carry vast amounts of digital data from North America across the Pacific. A partnership between Oregon's commercial fishing industry, Tyco Telecommunications, Oregon Sea Grant, and the U.S. Coast Guard worked collaboratively to retrieve the nets, using precise recovery methods in order to avoid damaging the very expensive undersea cables. The 215-foot Coast Guard Cutter FIR transported personnel to rendezvous with the F/V Seeker (a 98' Alaska class trawler), which carried out the recovery operations.
