Guyana sets up fishing restrictions to help endangered sea turtles
Georgetown, Guyana - Guyana has banned fishermen from spreading large nets off its northeastern coastline after more than two dozen dead sea turtles washed up on beaches, officials said Tuesday.
Guyana's fisheries ministry established the restrictions, designed to protect the endangered sea turtles, after environmental wardens reported finding the carcasses of the large turtle species on northeastern beaches.
