Marine Turtle Removal Monthly Summary May 2016

Dear Meghan,

Attached, please find the monthly summary of marine turtle removals for May 2016. This month, we captured twenty-one (21) Caretta caretta and three (3) Chelonia mydas in the intake canal of the St. Lucie power plant on Hutchinson Island. Only one sea turtle was sent for rehabilitation and there were no mortalities recorded during the month of May. The one stranding recovered this month was non-causal. As with all strandings, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) was consulted and the appropriate form was filed with the state through the Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network.

One loggerhead turtle was sent to a rehabilitation facility for non-causal injuries this month. On May 9th, an underweight and lethargic subadult loggerhead turtle was hand captured in the intake canal. The turtle also had a small open gash in the carapace from an unknown cause. After consultation with FWC, Inwater Research Group biologists transported the turtle partway to the Miami Seaquarium in Key Biscayne, FL for rehabilitation.

This live stranding was considered non-causal.

Throughout the month, the permanent 5-inch barrier net experienced light-to-severe loads of the gelatinous comb jellies and only negligible amounts of algae entered into the intake canal system. Overall, the 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 2016. In addition, this spreadsheet also tracks 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 2003.

This month, we captured twenty-one (21) Caretta caretta and three (3) Chelonia mydas in the intake canal of the St. Lucie power plant on Hutchinson Island. Only one sea turtle was sent for rehabilitation and there were no mortalities recorded during the month of May. The one stranding recovered this month was non-causal.

In addition, this spreadsheet also tracks 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 2003.
