The information that I have with some of the folks ivolved is a BAG LIMIT to prevent the wholesale collection of turtles being sold for food. I have NO objection to this and in fact I support it. Alligator Snappers were once trapped so heavily in S. GA and N. Florida they became very rare for a long time. They're just now after a 20 year ban becoming reasonably common again. In this day and age the unregulated collection of many herps and especially Chelonians has to be controlled or there won't be many left.....TC
