Marine Turtle Removal Monthly Summary September 2018
Dear Meghan,
Attached, please find the monthly summary of marine turtle removals for September 2018. This month we captured seven Caretta caretta and one Eretmochelys imbricata in the intake canal of the St. Lucie power plant on Hutchinson Island. There were no mortalities or sea turtles sent for rehabilitation in September.
The primary 5-inch barrier net encountered light-to-moderate loads of algae during the month. On September 17th, Underwater Engineering Services inspected and cleaned the 5-inch barrier net. The short-term power plant outage that began on August 26th is still underway and should conclude in early October. Nonetheless, the primary 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 2018. In addition, this spreadsheet tracks fresh scrapes incurred on captured turtles for the current month, as well as the entire year.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
