Dear Alan:

Twenty-seven loggerhead turtles were removed from the St.

Measuxements for all animals are attached.

Also, Dr. Wilcox has forwarded three reports of turtles being removed from the Port Evex'glades Plant intake canal by Florida Power F Light personnel. Two of the turtles were not identified. One was removed on 17 August and weighed approx-imately 100 pounds; the other was removed on 26 August and weighed approximately 200 pounds. Both were released alive. In addition, six live loggerhead hatchlings were removed on 4 September and taken to Ocean World.

As always, feel free to contact concerning the enclosed information.
