U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and the regulations governing the taking,
importing, and exporting of endangered and threatened species (50 CFR
parts 222-226).
The applicant proposes to continue a long-term study of the trends
in abundance and distribution of loggerhead sea turtles in southwestern
Florida Bay. Researchers would also determine size, growth, sex,
genetic identity, reproductive status, health, and movements of
animals. Researchers would capture up to 125 sea turtles by hand for
examination, measurements, photographs, weights, flipper and passive
integrated transponder tagging, marking, and blood and tumor sampling.
Up to 20 additional loggerheads may be pursued during unsuccessful
capture attempts. The permit would be valid for 10 years.
