Fifty-two loggerhead turtles, five green turtles and one leatherback turtle were removed from the St. Lucie Plant intake canal during the April - June quarter of 1986. Three loggerheads were dead when recovered.
Fifty-two loggerhead turtles, five green turtles and one leatherback turtle were removed from the St. Lucie Plant intake canal during the April - June quarter of 1986. Three loggerheads were dead when recovered.
The leatherback was in good condition. No tags were present on the animal, however, a possible tag scar was noted on the left front flipper. The few small barnacles present on the turtle's carapace were removed and preserved for future identification.

Dear Alan:

Fifty-two loggerhead turtles, five green turtles and one leatherback turtle were removed from the St. Lucie Plant intake canal during the April - June quarter of 1986. Three loggerheads were dead when recovered.

The leatherback was in good condition. No tags were present on the animal, however, a possible tag scar was noted on the left front flipper. The few small barnacles present on the turtle's carapace were removed and preserved for future identification.

Measurements for all animals are attached. All live turtles were released into the ocean off Hutchinson Island. No turtles were reported from other plants.

Please note that there is an error in the last quarterly report. AAJ237/238 (captured on 20 MAR 86) was a Chelonia mydas not a Caretta caretta as reported.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions concerning the enclosed data.

Sincerely, 5
