Many experts believe that turtle excluder devices also known as TEDs are a very good way to protect endangered turtles. And that they should be a vital part of the equipment on any shrimp boat. Here are their responds to the criticisms you just read about. First, it's true that catching a turtle is a rare thing any one boat. However, there are for example thousands of shrimp boats operating off southern coast s United States. Collectively, these shrimpers accidentally catch thousands of turtles every year. And these are endangered sea turtles whose populations are already too small. So, harming several thousands of every year is a big problem. So, when considering the impact of TEDs, don't think in terms of an individual shrimper losing a few shrimps, but rather in terms of how the sea turtle population as a whole is affected by the shrimp industry as a whole. Second, implementing time limits to ensure that the turtles are brought up in air in time. That sound like a good idea, but only in theory. The problem is that the time limits are almost impossible to enforce. There are thousands of shrimp boats far out the sea. And the government patrol boats cannot really monitor the time limits all these boats use. The use of TEDs is easier to enforce. All that required is checking the shrimp boats before they leave port and making sure their nets have TEDs. Third, it's true that TEDs can be too small for some very large species of turtle. But in the area where they are needed. It's not a problem to create TEDs that are somewhat larger. The design of TED can be modified easily without affect the way it functions. So once large TED began to produced. This would no longer be a problem.
