Um, you need more tex or a URLink here to make this post sensible.

If you're LOOKING FOR An ...,
then for use of long lines in NE coast of USA
for the protection of Right Whales there has been
some work --requiring fish. knot of special per-load
cutting device-- to reduce breaking strength so that
the whale if snagging a line will break it free.
YMMV on the success of these efforts (I sense,
not so much), which came to my attention maybe
2 decades back?
