not all methods of shrimping have bycatch, nor turtle demise or mammal. How about the dolphins and whales which wash ashore in schools ? 20 whales beach themselves its blamed on sonar by the military or that of the whale , 1 washes ashore its the result of comm. fishing practices. Tourism on beaches or building has no effect on turtles but only comm. fishing ? What about pollution which is destroying our salt marshes and tributaries where our fish spawn ? Never mentioned !!!! Funny !!!
I comm. fish and i have seen the bycatch a trawl net can produce. FEDS help, but the bycatch is still overwhelming. Ive been using a cast net more and more yearly to harvest my shrimp but only one specie of shrimp is able to be harvested with a cast net feasibly for "greentail " shrimp are the only ones which school.
it is sad when a turtle or a dolphin comes into a net however....a child gets hit on a sidewalk or a family is killed in a car accident, extreme yes but the fishing industry i booming a sea turtle runs into a net...better than a prop or a illegal hunter
That is good for you there guys. But in Costa Rica shrimp industrial trawlers, well exactly the shrimp fishermen, refuse the use of technology to save sea turtles and reduce bycatch. They reject for example the use of the Turtle excluder device (TED) and they are actually catching and killing at least 7,000 sea turtles each year. This is the reason we are strongly demanding responsible shrimp practices in Costa Rica.
Monitoring & protection of sea turtle nesting beaches in Costa Rica seem to always be highlighted. Doesn't the gov't see the shrimp trawlers as erasing any good done on the beaches? OR, is the shrimp lobby too powerful in politics down there?
@Goofus5453 I'm glad to see what kind people are living on this earth right now. Why respect something you eat, right? I mean, they died to give your body vital nutrients...but fuck them!!! Yeah....that's it.....
@shellylanette Perhaps the "herd needs thinning" but even still, they need to be shown respect as does every living creature. It's not right to torture turtles or any other animal for that matter, just because there is "too many" of them.
El turismo de pesca deportiva es uno de los mayores ingresos en nuestro pais, sin embargo la pesca comercial acaba con este recurso. ¿Sabia usted que el insentivo en combustible a los pecadores comerciales supera en mas del doble el monto generado por las exportaciones producidas por ellos mismos?...de quien sera este negocio? Algun vivazo como muchos otros en este pobre pais?

hopefully you are aware that large offshore trawlers in the north atlantic have grids that keep the by catch below 1%.
