ABSTRACT:
A rectangular bouyant frame float having an open interior supports by its upper edges the side walls of a flexible nonbouyant, open mesh, U-shaped, net cage which hangs pendant therefrom when the float is in the water. The float is provided with a flat walkway having inclined ramps connected at the ends of the walkway. The central portion of the walkway constitutes a trap which, when the turtle walks up the ramp and across a portion of the walkway, drops the turtle into the cage. A funnel shaped inwardly tapering entrance below the water provides an alternate second entrance for the turtle.
