Marine Turtle Removal Monthly Summary April 2015

Dear Meghan,

Attached, please find the monthly summary of marine turtle removals for April 2015. This month, we captured eight (8) Caretta caretta and six (6) Chelonia mydas in the intake canal of the St. Lucie power plant on Hutchinson Island. Two sea turtle were sent for rehabilitation and there were no mortalities recorded during the month of April. 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.

There were two sea turtles that were sent to rehabilitation facilities for non-causal injuries this month. On April 1st, a subadult loggerhead was captured with a fishing hook embedded in its right front flipper; the turtle was otherwise healthy. FWC transported the animal to the Loggerhead Marinelife Center (LMC) in Juno Beach for rehabilitation. On April 10th, a severely emaciated adult male loggerhead was removed from the intake canal.

The turtle appeared to have been entrained just prior to its capture in the tangle nets. This individual was taken to the Loggerhead Marinelife Center by LMC staff for rehab. Both of these live strandings were not considered causal to power plant operations.

Throughout the month, the permanent 5-inch barrier net experienced light loads of algae and jellyfish that entered into the intake canal system. The 30-day power plant outage that began on March 22nd has concluded.

However, on April 17th both units were offline during a spring tide (an astronomical phenomenon that augments tidal intensity). The higher than normal baseline water levels that already occur during outage conditions (due to reduced water flow) were further amplified by these strong tides. Consequently, a one foot section at both ends of the permanent 5-inch barrier net were submerged by up to three inches during the high tides for several days. In response, Inwater Research Group biologists increased monitoring of the intake canal and no turtles have been observed beyond the primary barrier net. Normal operating conditions have resumed and the water table has dropped to a level where tidal variations should no longer significantly impact barrier net height.

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 2015. In addition, this spreadsheet also tracks fresh

2 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.

{moderate}, Total Tumor Score = 66). Turtle found on the temporary 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. Preliminary determination by IRG biologists was causal due to drowning. Held on ice for necropsy by Dr. Nancy Mettee, DVM. 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."
