Hawaii’s longline fishing industry is hoping that a new baiting technique will help save seabirds that are killed annually in waters around the state. The birds, most notably the albatross, die when they get hooked or tangled in the longlines. The Katy Mary, an Oahu longline vessel, was the first to try the new underwater bait-setting chute in fishing grounds north of islands where seabirds are abundant. No seabirds were caught or killed during the experiment, according to vessel owner Jim Cook, who is chairman of the advisory panel to the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council and legal liaison officer with the Hawaii Longline Association.
