Marine Turtle Removal Monthly Summary May 2008  
Marine Turtle Removal Monthly Summary May 2008


==Dear Meghan,==
==Dear Meghan,==
Attached, please find the monthly summary of marine turtle removals for May 2008. In May, we captured twenty four (24) Caretta caretta , and twenty (20) Chelonia mydas at the intake canal of the St. Lucie power plant on South Hutchinson Island. In May, two loggerheads were sent to rehabilit ation facilities after consultation with FWCC personnel. The compromised condition of these turtles was not causal to power plant operation. One of these loggerheads was underweight and lethargic, and the other had severe propeller wounds on the carapace. Causal and non-causal determinations are made in consultation with FWCC personnel. All other turtles captured in May were released back to the ocean on the same day of capture.
Work on the permanent primary barrier net was completed on May 6 and the temporary net was removed. Tag numbers and morphmetric data for all turtles are attached. Also, attached is a spreadsheet of all captures , mortalities, injuries and causal events delineated by species and month for 2008. This spreadsheet tracks fresh scrapes and will be helpful in deter mining the success of the intake pipe cleaning project. If you have any questions or comments about the enclosed data please contact me at your convenience.

Marine Turtle Removal Monthly Summary May 2008

Dear Meghan,

Attached, please find the monthly summary of marine turtle removals for May 2008.

In May, we captured twenty four (24) Caretta caretta, and twenty (20) Chelonia mydas at the intake canal of the St. Lucie power plant on South Hutchinson Island.

In May, two loggerheads were sent to rehabilitation facilities after consultation with FWCC personnel. The compromised condition of these turtles was not causal to power plant operation. One of these loggerheads was underweight and lethargic, and the other had severe propeller wounds on the carapace. Causal and non-causal determinations are made in consultation with FWCC personnel. All other turtles captured in May were released back to the ocean on the same day of capture.

Work on the permanent primary barrier net was completed on May 6 and the temporary net was removed. Tag numbers and morphmetric data for all turtles are attached. Also, attached is a spreadsheet of all captures, mortalities, injuries and causal events delineated by species and month for 2008. This spreadsheet tracks fresh scrapes and will be helpful in determining the success of the intake pipe cleaning project. If you have any questions or comments about the enclosed data please contact me at your convenience.

Sincerely, Michael J. Bresette Sr. Environmental Specialist Quantum Resources, Inc.
