2002 TURTLE CAPTURES Below please find a summary of sea turtle captures in the St. Lucie intake canal for 2002. A total of 53 turtles were captured in December, bringing the total to 632 for 2002. During 2002 two green turtle mortalities were attributed to plant operation, which is well under the NMFS limit. A total of seventeen injured or diseased turtles were sent to rehabilitation facilities in 2002. These turtles were injured or diseased before they came into the canal.
