  "projectDescription": "This project removed, as well as quantified the extent and distribution of, derelict lobster gear in New York and Connecticut waters of the LIS. It builds upon other highly-successful projects that were funded by The Fishing for Energy/National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, Long Island Sound Futures Fund/National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and past NOAA funding. This project marked the first trap removal program encompassing the entire LIS while opening participation to commercial lobstermen that possess current New York and Connecticut licenses. During removal, a specialized long-line grapple system was used to retrieve derelict lobster traps. For every retrieved trap, species were examined, removed, and recorded and gear condition is assessed. All derelict lobster gear was returned to recycling containers at shore-side sites in the ports of Mt. Sinai and Mattituck on Long Island.",
