NOTES

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.
