Marine Turtle Removal Monthly Summary December 2014
Dear Meghan,
Attached, please find the monthly summary of marine turtle removals for December 2014. This month, we captured twenty-two (22)
Caretta caretta and fourteen (14)
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 December.
Throughout the month, the 5-inch barrier net experienced severe loads of jell yfish that entered into the intake canal system, whereas algae entrainment was moderate. Inwater Research Group biologists performed around-the-clock monitoring of the intake ca nal and barrier net system when the jellyfish intrusion rate was severe. Moreover, the temporary barrier net was maintained well above the waterline and no turtles were observed beyond the 5-inch net. Construction of a permanent 5-inch barrier net is currently underway and completion has been projected for early 2015.
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 the year 2014. In addition, this spreadsheet also tracks fresh scrapes incurred on captured turtles for the current month, as well as the entire year. An additional Excel
spreadsheet tracks all causal injuries and mortalities in curred by sea turtles at the St. Lucie Plant since 2002.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Steve
