Environmental Groups Announce Settlement to Prevent Burning of Sea Turtles
--------------------------------------------------------------------------



In other oil spill news, two environmental groups have announced a
settlement in their lawsuit to prevent BP from burning alive endangered
sea turtles in the cleanup of the Gulf Coast. The Center for Biological
Diversity and Turtle Island Restoration Network say BP and the US Coast
Guard have agreed to develop safeguards to ensure no turtles are burned
alive during attempts to contain the oil. We’ll have more on the BP oil
spill later in the broadcast.
