March 2010 Marine Turtle Captures

Dear Meghan,

Attached, please find the monthly summary of marine turtle removals for March 2010. In March, we captured fifty four (54) Caretta caretta, one hundred twenty nine (129) Chelonia mydas, three (3) Lepidochelys kempii, and one Dermochelys coriacea at the intake canal of the St. Lucie power plant on Hutchinson Island. During the first two weeks of the month, the intake canal water temperature remained on average around 60.0 degrees Fahrenheit. Forty five juvenile green turtles were removed from the surface of the temporary barrier net and were found to be cold stunned due to these lower temperatures. All of these turtles were released later the same day.

During the month there were three turtles transported to rehabilitation facilities. On March 1, a juvenile green turtle was found at the surface of the temporary barrier net in poor condition with numerous papillomas. This turtle was transported by FWCC personnel to the Mote Marine Lab in Sarasota, Florida. This event was considered noncausal to power plant operation. On March 19, a juvenile green turtle was found at the surface of the temporary barrier net in fair condition and underweight with monofilament line wrapped tightly around the left front flipper and neck. This turtle was transported to the Marinelife Center in Juno beach by FWCC personnel. This event was considered noncausal to power plant operation. On March 20, a juvenile green turtle was found at the surface of the temporary barrier net in fair condition with numerous papillomas and fishing line wrapped around both front flippers. This turtle was transported by FWCC personnel to the Marathon Turtle Hospital where it had died during transport. This event was considered noncausal to power plant operation.

During the month there were four mortalities recorded at the intake canal. On March 1, a subadult loggerhead was found near the surface of the temporary barrier net severely emaciated with no wounds or abnormalities. This turtle was transported by FWCC personnel to the Marinelife Center in Juno Beach for necropsy. It was determined that the cause of death was drowning and that the turtle was already compromised by malnutrition and parasite infection. This event was considered causal to power plant operation. On March 7, a juvenile green turtle was found dead below the surface of the temporary barrier net where it had become entangled. The preliminary findings from gross necropsy are that the cause of death was drowning and is causal to power plant operation. On March 10, a juvenile green turtle was found on the temporary barrier net. This turtle appeared to have been depredated by a land predator after stranding on the net. The preliminary findings from gross necropsy for this turtle are that the cause of death was by drowning and is causal to power plant operation. On March 12, a juvenile green turtle was found pinned 1

below the surface of the temporary barrier net. The turtle appeared to have been in good condition with no wounds or abnormalities. The preliminary findings from gross necropsy are that the cause of death was drowning and is causal to power plant operation.

Throughout the month of March the temporary barrier net experienced light loads of algae that entered into the intake canal. This temporary barrier has effectively kept turtles from moving further down the canal. A permanent fix to this net is expected in 2011.

Tag numbers and morphometric data for all turtles are attached. Also, attached is a spreadsheet of all captures, mortalities, injuries and causal events delineated by species and month/year to date for 2010. This spreadsheet also includes and tracks fresh scrapes incurred on captured turtles for the month of March which includes totals and percentage.

NOTES

1. Turtle found at surface of temporary barrier net with numerous large papillomas (tumor score = 18).

Inwater Research Group biologists transported turtle to Tequesta Field Lab where it was later transported by FWCC to Mote Marine Lab in Sarasota, Florida: Not causal to power plant operation.

2. Sub-adult loggerhead turtle found dead just under surface of temporary barrier net. Severely emaciated with no wounds or abnormalities. Transported to the Marinelife Center in Juno Beach for necropsy where it was determined that the cause of death was drowning. Turtle was also very critically compromised by malnutrition and parasite infection. Causal to power plant operation.

3. Papillomas present (tumor score = 62). Turtle was released the same day of capture.

4. Papillomas present (tumor score = 49). Turtle was released the same day of capture.

5. Papillomas present (tumor score = 38). Turtle was released the same day of capture.

6. Papillomas present (tumor score = 11). Turtle was released the same day of capture.

7. Juvenile green turtle found dead below the surface of the temporary barrier net where it had become tangled.

The preliminary determination is that the cause of death was drowning and causal to power plant operation (pending necropsy results).

8. Recapture. Turtle was removed from the intake canal, tagged and released at Hutchinson Island on 8/19/09.

9. Recapture. Turtle was removed from the intake canal, tagged and released at Hutchinson Island on 7/13/08.

10. Recapture. Turtle was removed from the intake canal, tagged and released at Hutchinson Island on 1/24/09.

11. Papillomas present (tumor score = 36). Turtle was released the same day of capture.

12. Juvenile green turtle found dead on temporary barrier net. Turtle appears to have been depredated by a land predator, after stranding on the barrier net. Preliminary determination by biologists is that this is a causal mortality (pending necropsy results).

13. Strange tag. Originally tagged by Jane Provancha at the Kennedy Space Center.

14. Papillomas present (tumor score = 12). Turtle was released the same day of capture.

15. Strange tag. Whereabouts pending. Papillomas present (tumor score = 1). Turtle was release the same day of capture.

16. Papillomas present (tumor score = 5). Turtle was released the same day of capture.

17. Juvenile green turtle found dead below surface of temporary barrier net where it had become pinned. No wounds or abnormalities. The preliminary determination is that the cause of death was drowning and causal to power plant operation (pending necropsy results).

18. Papillomas present (tumor score = 34). Turtle was released the same day of capture.

19. Papillomas present (tumor score = 9). Turtle was released the same day of capture.

20. Adult female. Tail length = 239 mm.

21. Juvenile green turtle found at surface of temporary barrier net with monofilament line wrapped tightly around left front flipper and around neck. Turtle was in fair condition and underweight with no wounds or abnormalities. Transported by FWCC to the Marinelife Center in Juno Beach. Not causal to power plant operation.

22. Strange tag (PIT). Whereabouts pending.

23. Juvenile green turtle found at surface of temporary barrier net with monofilament line wrapped around both front flippers. Numerous papillomas (tumor score = 63) present including in both eyes. Turtle died during transport by FWCC to Marathon Turtle Hospital. Not causal to power plant operation.

24. Papillomas present (tumor score = 29). Turtle was released the same day of capture.

25. Recapture. Turtle was removed from the intake canal, tagged and released at Hutchinson Island on 2/27/09.

26. Recapture. Turtle was removed from the intake canal, tagged and released at Hutchinson Island on 1/12/07, 2/28/07, 7/12/07, 8/5/07, 9/8/07, 3/3/09 and 12/2/09.

27. Recapture. Turtle was removed from the intake canal, tagged and released at Hutchinson Island on 12/23/09.

28. Papillomas present (tumor score = 15). Turtle was released the same day of capture.

29. Papillomas present (tumor score = 42). Turtle was released the same day of capture.

30. Papillomas present (tumor score = 33). Turtle was released the same day of capture.

31. Papillomas present (tumor score = 27). Turtle was released the same day of capture.

32. Papillomas present (tumor score = 7). Turtle was released the same day of capture.

33. Papillomas present (tumor score = 6). Turtle was released the same day of capture.

34. Recapture. Turtle was removed from the intake canal, tagged and released at Hutchinson Island on 10/15/08.
