Abstract:

Controversy has come to North Carolina in the form of Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) which prevent endangered turtles from drowning in shrimp nets. These devices are pitting fishermen against environmentalists, and federal and state agencies, along with congressmen, fisheries organizations, and the public are weighing in on their use in North Carolina waters.
