Bryan Glazer President & Executive Producer World Satellite Television News & Media Relations 212-673-4400 / 561-374-1365 bryan@televisionews.com This electronic press kit was transmitted to the global news media in defense of protests wrongfully aimed at Red Lobster restaurants for allegedly playing a role in the deaths of Gulf of Mexico sea turtles, which are often caught in the nets of shrimp trawlers. Fact: Red Lobster restaurants does not purchase its shrimp from Gulf of Mexico trawlers. Fact: More than 90 percent of the shrimp that Americans eat in restaurants and at their dinner tables originates from shrimp farms in Asia. That is an issue unto itself.
