They mass nest—*arribadas*—to overwhelm predators with sheer numbers, a synchrony triggered by lunar cycles and sea conditions. The Turtle Excluder Device is a grid in trawl nets that guides turtles out an escape hatch while retaining the catch.
I’ve hauled up nets at midnight checks, seeing the TED’s steel bars gleaming under torchlight, and felt the quiet relief of finding the hatch empty—no *kachhua* struggling in the mesh. That cold metal under my palm is why I believe in enforcement, not just biology.
