Greetings!
This bill is very important. If passed, the bycatch of the traps could severely impact other turtle species, including protected species. It could encourage more poaching. It’s a really bad bill. Please take a moment to fill out the forms that USARK has made so easy to submit. A hearing has been scheduled for March 30th, so please take a few minutes to visit USARK’s website and oppose this bill.
