Marine Turtle Removal Monthly Summary February 2015

Dear Meghan,

Attached, please find the monthly summary of marine turtle removals for February 2015. This month, we captured twenty-eight (28) Caretta caretta, twenty-six (26) Chelonia mydas, and two (2) Lepidochelys kempii in the intake canal of the St. Lucie power plant on Hutchinson Island. One sea turtle was sent for rehabilitation and there was one mortality recorded during the month of February. As with all sea turtle strandings at the Saint Lucie Plant (alive or dead), the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) was consulted and a stranding form was filed with the state through the Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network.

On February 12th, Inwater Research Group (IRG) biologists hand captured a subadult loggerhead turtle with extensive wounds on the dorsal surface of its neck and head. The injuries were not from entrainment into the intake canal and were in the process of healing. The animal was also underweight and lethargic. After consultation with FWC, the turtle was transported by Inwater Research Group biologists, in coordination with Ecological Associates, to the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center in Juno Beach for rehabilitation. This stranding event was not considered causal to power plant operations.

On February 28th, a juvenile green turtle was found on the permanent 5-inch barrier net in the morning. It was stuck on the barrier net two inches below the waterline. The turtle was convulsing when it was brought onto the boat and promptly died. The preliminary determination by IRG biologists was that this sea turtle mortality was causal to power plant operations since the turtle appeared to have drowned. The animal was held on ice and promptly transported to Dr. Nancy Mettee, DVM for necropsy. The necropsy report stated that "based on the debilitated condition of this turtle death was imminent with forced submergence/ drowning as the final cause of death." This sea turtle mortality was considered causal to power plant operations and, as such, goes against the take limit established by the most recent Biological Opinion set forth by the National Marine Fisheries Service.

Throughout the month, the permanent 5-inch barrier net experienced light loads of algae and jellyfish that entered into the intake canal system. The new barrier net has performed as designed and no turtles have been observed beyond the 5-inch net.

The tag numbers and morphometric data for all turtles captured during the month have been included with this report (see attachments/addendums). Also included is a spreadsheet for all captures, mortalities, injuries, and causal events delineated by species and by month for the year 2015. In addition, this spreadsheet also tracks 1

fresh scrapes incurred on captured turtles for the current month, as well as the entire year. An additional Excel spreadsheet tracks all causal injuries and mortalities incurred by sea turtles at the St. Lucie Plant since 2002.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
