==Dear Meghan,==
==Dear Meghan,==
Attached, please find the monthly summary of marine turtle removals for December 2023. This month we captured six Caretta caretta and 93 Chelonia mydas in the intake canal of the St. Lucie power plant on Hutchinson Island. Two sea turtles were sent for rehabilitation (non-causal), and there was one causal mortality in December. As with all sea turtle strandings at the St. 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 for non-causal injuries this month. On December 14th, an emaciated and lethargic sub-adult loggerhead was recovered from the primary barrier net. On December 25 th, a sub-adult green turtle was recovered from the primary barrier net with a healing shark bite wound to the right axilla. Both turtles were taken to the Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach for rehab.

Because these injuries/illnesses were unrelated to the power plant, they were classified as non-causal strandings.

After consultation with the veterinarian the turtle was held overnight for observation, however the turtle died overnight. In accordance with protocol, it was taken to Dr. Nancy Mettee, DVM for necropsy and causality determination in accordance with stranding protocols. This turtle was determined to have drowned and was therefore deemed causal.

The primary 5-inch barrier net encountered negligible-to-moderate amounts of algae and negligible-to-severe amounts of jellyfish this past month. IRG performed around-the-clock monitoring of the intake canal and barrier net system either as warranted by sufficiently high debris intrusion levels or whenever directed by FPL oversight personnel. Furthermore, Underwater Engineering Services (UESI) divers inspected and cleaned the 5-inch barrier net as needed. Upon inspection, UESI found a small hole in the primary 5-inch barrier net; they repaired the hole, and the barrier nets are in good working condition.

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 2023. In addition, this spreadsheet tracks fresh scrapes incurred on captured turtles for the current month, as well as the entire year.

Marine Turtle Removal Monthly Summary December 2023

Dear Meghan,

Attached, please find the monthly summary of marine turtle removals for December 2023. This month we captured six Caretta caretta and 93 Chelonia mydas in the intake canal of the St. Lucie power plant on Hutchinson Island. Two sea turtles were sent for rehabilitation (non-causal), and there was one causal mortality in December. As with all sea turtle strandings at the St. 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 for non-causal injuries this month. On December 14th, an emaciated and lethargic sub-adult loggerhead was recovered from the primary barrier net. On December 25 th, a sub-adult green turtle was recovered from the primary barrier net with a healing shark bite wound to the right axilla. Both turtles were taken to the Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach for rehab.

Because these injuries/illnesses were unrelated to the power plant, they were classified as non-causal strandings.

On December 5th, a juvenile green turtle was found in distress while entangled in the south tangle net.

After consultation with the veterinarian the turtle was held overnight for observation, however the turtle died overnight. In accordance with protocol, it was taken to Dr. Nancy Mettee, DVM for necropsy and causality determination in accordance with stranding protocols. This turtle was determined to have drowned and was therefore deemed causal.

The primary 5-inch barrier net encountered negligible-to-moderate amounts of algae and negligible-to-severe amounts of jellyfish this past month. IRG performed around-the-clock monitoring of the intake canal and barrier net system either as warranted by sufficiently high debris intrusion levels or whenever directed by FPL oversight personnel. Furthermore, Underwater Engineering Services (UESI) divers inspected and cleaned the 5-inch barrier net as needed. Upon inspection, UESI found a small hole in the primary 5-inch barrier net; they repaired the hole, and the barrier nets are in good working condition.

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 2023. 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.
