About GEARNET Funded by the Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) Cooperative Research Program, GEARNET was formed in 2011 to address the need for an integrated, network approach to fishery gear conservation engineering, and fisheries research in general, for the Northeast region.

The findings are being shared with interested parties to promote transfer of knowledge and uptake of effective gear types within the region.
