Finally we started setting out the fishing and tori lines.
After three days anchored, the weather was better and we could reach the fishing area where we did the first set.
The tori lines were ready, but according to the protocol established on previous trips, the first set was accomplished without using a tori line, and also because the crew had more time to get used to this new routine and with my presence on board.
During this set, I could observe that the gear used by this vessel is quite different compared with other vessels. In particular, the main line presents a higher floatability, being exposed at the surface for a long period. This characteristic is an extra risk for the accidental capture of seabirds, and I hope that the mitigation measures adopted on board may avoid the risks.
