This ESR theme issue was = catalyzed by the ongoing work of Project GloBAL = <http://bycatch.env.duke.edu/> (Global Bycatch Assessment of Long Lived = Species) that seeks to address this pressing conservation problem = through innovative research approaches and collaborative efforts. = Manuscripts addressing current bycatch hotspots, analytical approaches = to understanding and assessing bycatch, and bycatch solutions in both = industrial and artisanal fisheries are welcomed. To discuss the = suitability of a manuscript for inclusion in this ESR Special, please = contact Dr. Rebecca Lewison (ESR Editor) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or = Dr. Brendan Godley (ESR Editor-in-Chief) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>=20
