It will be time for the fish- ermen to sew turtle excluder devices into the tailbags of their trawl nets. Last year the federal government see- sawed on enforcement of the TED regula- tions, and fishermen balked at using the devices designed to expel endangered sea turtles from shrimp nets. Aside from resenting the government's intervention in the plying of their trade, fishermen declared that the devices lost the very catch they worked so hard to net—shrimp. But Sea Grant agent Jim Bahen listened to shrimpers' complaints and along with netmaker Steve Parrish did something about them. They made modifications in the two most popular TED designs—the Parrish TED and Georgia Jumper. By making the changes, the nets now do a better job of retaining shrimp. To learn more about the modifications, send for Sea Grant's newest Blueprint, Reducing Shrimp Loss Through Net Modifications in TEDs. It will explain what the modifications are and how they work. The Blueprint also provides test data from nine trawls in the shrimp grounds off the Georgia coast. To receive a free copy, write UNC Sea Grant. Ask for UNC-SG-BP-90-1. Joyce Taylor fed the multitudes. The fare? A helpin' of seafood information. More than 800 people packed an audi- torium at Elizabeth City State University during two sessions of the Pasquotank County Cooking School to hear Sea Grant's seafood education specialist Joyce Taylor.
