Turtle Exclusion Devices Appear to Be Helping in Queensland, Australia
- "It wasn't until 2000 that we had the fisheries regulations requiring the use of turtle exclusion devices, or TEDS, so that turtles didn't drown in the prawn trawl. Now, eight years after the legislation became effective, we're seeing our population no longer declining but actually in a recovery mode." - quote by Dr Col Limpus, from the state Department of Environment and Resource Management in Queensland, Australia. Quote appeared in this ABC Wide Bay Qld article.
