Marine Turtle Removal Monthly Summary July 2019

Dear Meghan,

Attached, please find the monthly summary of marine turtle removals for July 2019. This month we captured 28 Caretta caretta and one Chelonia mydas in the intake canal of the St. Lucie power plant on Hutchinson Island. There were no mortalities or sea turtles sent for rehabilitation in July.

On the morning of July 8th, a loggerhead nest was discovered in the southeast corner of the intake canal. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) was promptly notified and the nest was relocated to the beach. This nest was marked and will be inventoried to determine hatch success in accordance with FWC protocols.

In the beginning of the month, Underwater Engineering Services, Inc. (UESI) inspected the velocity caps where water is entrained into the intake canal from offshore. The offshore structures were in good condition.

The primary 5-inch barrier net encountered moderate-to-severe loads of algae during the month. UESI inspected the barrier net and removed accumulated algae and debris as needed. Ballard Marine Construction began dredging west of the primary 5-inch barrier net and removed the 8-inch A-1-A barrier net on July 10th to facilitate the process. The secondary barrier net will be replaced after dredging concludes in August. Altogether, 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 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.

Sincerely, Steve Steve Weege Sr. Environmental Specialist Inwater Research Group, Inc.
