Marine Turtle Removal Monthly Summary January 2020

Dear Meghan,

Attached, please find the monthly summary of marine turtle removals for January 2020. This month we captured nine Caretta caretta, 25 Chelonia mydas, and one Lepidochelys kempii in the intake canal of the St. Lucie power plant on Hutchinson Island. One sea turtle was sent for rehabilitation and there was one mortality during the month of January. As with all sea turtle strandings at the Saint 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.

One sea turtle was sent to rehab for non-causal injuries or illness this month. On January 25th, an adult male loggerhead that was missing a portion of its posterior carapace was captured in the tangle nets.

The Injury measured 48 cm in length and there was dead tissue present. The turtle was also missing 80%

of its right rear flipper (healing). It was picked up and transported partway to the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center in Boca Raton by Ecological Associates, Inc. biologists. Because, the turtle was sent for rehabilitation for an injury/illness that was unrelated to the power plant, it was classified as non-causal.

There was one non-causal mortality this month. On January 2nd, a moderately decomposed juvenile green turtle was found alongside the top of the permanent 5-inch barrier net. It was bloated and its scales were sloughing off. Believed to have been entrained postmortem, this turtle was nevertheless too decomposed to necropsy.

The primary 5-inch barrier net encountered negligible amounts of algae throughout the month.

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 2020. 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.

Sincerely,
