    A small opening in the net is then available either above or below the grid so that the creatures that are stopped by the TEDs are allowed to escape the net, relatively unharmed. Targeted species such as shrimp however, are pushed to the back of the net.

    Thanks for educating us, pol.

    @Animal Mother how did you know you were eating dolphin and whales safe fish? Was there an article or news program you watched that alerted you to what you should look for?

    Oh. On the tuna can, I see. And what drew you to posting on this cause today? I've never really noticed special forces types to have such an interest in things other than when and where to use their "gun".

    I hope the posters don't get the notion that the waters are not tightly regulated.

    When I worked in pile driving, we had to remove some piling at the Chevron Oil Refinery at Richmond, CA

    We got briefed to never allow a piece of the creosoted piling to end up in the SF Bay. We had to instantly remove all of it. Now, the piling was always touching the water. But we were told of a super heavy fine just for pieces of wood being allowed in the water. I don't believe the Government goes easy on those working in the waters. I experienced it first hand.

    I last worked on the SF bay in 1979 but at the time I was informed by the company the fine for leaving piling pieces in the bay was ten thousand dollars per occurrence. I expect it is higher now.

    You were probably too busy overthrowing Qaddafi to do a random sampling on how we feel about the environment. Anyway, I'm not the topic. The topic is the change in law thanks to the work of some environmental groups. Do you have an opinion on that?
