Break-Away Release Link is a patented system that solves the problem of marine mammal entanglements in commercial fishing gear. Break-Away can be used with existing commercial gear, and creates no additional work or extra training for crews. Should a marine mammal entanglement occur, the rope will simply break away. The simplicity and effectiveness of the system makes it ideal for any commercial fishing operation such as crab and lobster fleets, but the system can be added to virtually any gear
