Bycatch is what fishing boats catch that they're not trying to catch. It's bad for them, their nets and the bycatch - especially for turtles, which are difficult to disentangle from gillnets. But new research suggests illuminating nets with LED lights may warn turtles away and reduce bycatch. Plus: the floating ball challenge is a sight to behold: a boxer keeping a 20 pound medicine ball floating on the power of his punches.
