importing, and exporting of endangered and threatened species (50 CFR
parts 222-226).
The applicant proposes to continue research to characterize the
movement, habitat use, foraging ecology, and health of juvenile,
subadult, and adult sea turtles in estuarine, coastal, and offshore
waters of Texas. Up to 25 Kemp's ridley, 25 green, 25 loggerhead, and
10 hawksbill sea turtles may be captured by hand, dip net, cast net, or
entanglement net, marked (temporary paint, flipper, passive integrated
transponder), epibiota removed, photographed, videoed, weighed, and
measured prior to release. A subset of sea turtles would be
biologically sampled (blood, scute, skin) or receive transmitters
(acoustic and satellite tags or a video tag attached with epoxy or by
drilling through the carapace) prior to release. The permit would be
valid for 10 years.
