From the transcript
I guess I wanted to provide a little bit of context that this project is really oriented around the Bering Sea fisheries and oriented around a real specific area of uncertainty, which is unobserved crab mortality. And so the much of the focus of the presentation and what we're talking about is really applicable to the Bering Sea, not the Gulf of Alaska fisheries. Thanks for that clarification. That's helpful. So we went and did a deep dive into understanding how to measure seafloor contact, and I'm going to provide a little bit of some of the things that we looked at and just provide some explanation that led us to where we did with this EFP.
