Marine Turtle Removal Monthly Summary March 2019
Dear Meghan,
Attached, please find the monthly summary of marine turtle removals for March 2019. This month we captured 22 Caretta caretta and 14 Chelonia mydas in the intake canal of the St. Lucie power plant on Hutchinson Island. Two sea turtles were sent for rehabilitation (all non-causal) and there were no mortalities during the month of March. 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 strandings forms were filed with the state through the Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network.
Two turtles were sent to rehabilitation facilities for non-causal injuries this month. On March 2nd, an underweight and lethargic subadult loggerhead was sent to the Loggerhead Marinelife Center (LMC) in Juno Beach for "Debilitated Loggerhead Turtle Syndrome." On March 27th, a juvenile green turtle was dip-netted that appeared to have an active infection. The scutes on the carapace were sloughing off, exposing the bone underneath. There were old injuries to both the anterior and posterior carapace that could not be characterized well due to the heavy barnacle load. After consultation with FWC, Ecological Associates personnel picked up and transported this turtle to LMC for rehab. Both turtles were considered non-causal.
The primary 5-inch barrier net encountered moderate-to-severe loads of algae during the month. Underwater Engineering Services (UESI) has continued the process of retensioning the primary barrier net in order to improve its performance. UESI divers also periodically inspected the barrier net and removed accumulated algae and debris as needed.
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 2019. 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.
