and American Samoa Longline Fishery). Turtles may be flipper tagged,
skin biopsied, satellite tagged (epoxy attachment), measured, and
photographed/videoed prior to release. Biological samples may be
imported from the high seas. The applicant may conduct research on the
number of turtles authorized to be incidentally taken in each fishery.
