A DMF representative will outline the purchase project — how to apply and receive money for buying a certified TED.

The money will be available to fishermen in early March. It comes from the Department of Com- merce's Energy Division. It was dis- tributed to the state by the federal government for use in energy effi- ciency projects. The money had been collected from oil companies that were penalized for overcharging consumers in the 1970s. TEDs increase energy efficiency by reducing the drag on nets created by turtles and other bycatch. For more information about the meet- ings, contact Bahen at 919/458-5498.
