File-This June 16, 2016, file photo shows a Kemp's ridley sea turtle hatchling crawling across the beach at Padre Island National Seashore during the 4th public sea turtle hatching release. Federal regulators have vastly scaled back a plan to make more shrimpers include escape hatches for small sea turtles in their nets. A conservation group, the Center for Biological Diversity, calls it "a dangerous departure." The proposed rule would have required about 5,800 inshore shrimp boats to use the escape hatches, called turtle excluder devices or TEDs. The rule made public Thursday, Dec. 19, 2019, applies to fewer than 1,100. (Courtney Sacco/Corpus Christi Caller-Times via AP)
