Marine Turtle Removal Monthly Summary December 2019

Dear Meghan,

Attached, please find the monthly summary of marine turtle removals for December 2019. This month we captured nine Caretta caretta, 18 Chelonia mydas, and one Lepidochelys kempii in the intake canal of the St. Lucie power plant on Hutchinson Island. Two sea turtles were sent for rehabilitation and there were no mortalities. As with all sea turtle strandings at the Saint Lucie Plant, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) was consulted and stranding forms were filed with the state through the Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network.

Two sea turtles were sent to rehab facilities for non-causal injuries or illness this month. On December 3rd, an underweight and lethargic adult female loggerhead was captured in the tangle nets. The FWC Stranding Coordinator transported the turtle to the Loggerhead Marinelife Center (LMC) in Juno Beach for rehabilitation. On December 15th, a subadult Kemp's ridley was also caught in the nets that had suffered from a shark attack (it had deep lacerations in one of its front flippers). This turtle was picked up and transported to LMC by Ecological Associates, Inc. biologists. Both turtles were sent to rehab for injuries or illness that were unrelated to the power plant and were therefore classified as non-causal.

The primary 5-inch barrier net encountered negligible amounts of algae throughout the month. On December 12th, Underwater Engineering Services performed the quarterly net inspections on the first two barrier nets (the 5-inch and 8-inch A-1-A); no holes were found during the quarterly net inspections.

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
