A method of lighting to protect sea turtles comprises providing in a housing both a white light source, for example a low-voltage incandescent source, and a red LED source that is visible to humans but that does not interfere with the normal nesting and hatching behavior of sea turtles, and selectively energizing the latter source during turtle nesting season.

The invention discloses a turtle robot. The turtle robot comprises a rectangular plastic box as a body of the turtle robot, wherein a sinking and floating mechanism controlling sinking and floating of the body of the turtle robot is formed in the rectangular plastic box; a plurality of water pumps distributed along three sides of the plastic box are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rectangular plastic box, and the turtle robot is pushed to move forwards or leftwards and rightwards through the drainage of the water pumps; a rubbish filter is designed under the rectangular plastic box and comprises a water flow box; a propeller device is fixedly connected to the front of the water flow box and used for sucking water flow into the water flow box; a rubbish filtering net is formed behind the water flow box; a body movement driving mechanism is fixedly connected to the rubbish filter and is used for driving four limbs of the turtle robot to move; and a designed control system is used for controlling the sinking and floating mechanism, the water pumps, the body movement driving mechanism and the propeller device to work. The turtle robot is novel and reasonable in structure. Compared with other bionic turtles, the turtle robot is low in cost and integrates the functions of amusing and cleaning, thus having a high potential market value in places such as marine museums and swimming pools.

An apparatus for reducing by-catch of seabirds or turtles during fishing include a fish hook (220) and a barrier or shield (227) mounted in a position relative to the fish hook (220) such that the barrier (227) reduces or prevents hooking of a seabird or turtle by the fish hook or ingestion of the hook by a seabird or turtle. The apparatus includes a degradable component (226) that degrades when placed in water such that when the degradable component degrades the barrier moves away from the position relative to the fish hook or no longer exists to allow the fish hook to be taken by a fish. The degradable component (226) may be a retaining means or a mounting means. The degradable component may form part of, or all of, the barrier.
