FORT MYERS, Fla. â An associate professor at Florida Gulf Coast University is working to save thousands of endangered sea turtles.
After studying sea turtles in Ghana, Phil Allman has found a way to save them, according to the university.
Working with a team in Ghana, Allman was able to modify fishing nets, installing several green LED lights around each net, reducing the number of sea turtles killed by fishing nets operated by small-scale fisheries, the university said.
