Thousands of sea turtles die annually because about half of shrimp trawls operate without Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs). These devices are 97% effective at allowing turtles to escape nets. A proposed rule from December 2016 would expand TED requirements, but the administration has stalled its implementation, allowing the killing to continue.

This delay jeopardizes sea turtle conservation and negatively impacts shrimp fishermen by hindering sustainability and economic opportunities. We must act now to urge Secretary Ross to implement this vital rule.
