Hello,
The below question was in one of the forum ,but couldn't post my query there as the post was closed.
'Last week local shrimpers held a news conference to take some credit for the resurgence of the rare turtle, saying that their compliance with laws requiring that turtle excluder devices on shrimp nets protect adult sea turtles.'
Please correct me if my understanding is wrong .
1) 'saying that ...'. Here 'that' creates a relative clause and it points to 'the resurgence ' ?
2) 'requiring that ...' Here 'that' creates a relative clause and it points to 'compliance' ?
Thanks ,
Vinay .
