FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Erin Markin, Ph.D., or Malcolm Mohead,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The subject permit is requested under the
authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 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 research on juvenile, subadult, and adult
sea turtle populations in southeast Florida, including Indian River,
St. Lucie, Martin, Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe
counties. Researchers would investigate population abundance,
distribution, health, habitat use, and behavioral ecology of sea
turtles. Up to 50 green, 50 hawksbill, and 30 Kemp ridley sea turtles
may be located by unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) or vessels and
captured by hand or dip net, marked (flipper and passive integrated
transponder tag), measured, weighed, and photographed/videoed,
annually. A subset of 10 turtles of each species may receive a video
tag attached via a suction cup. Additionally, green sea turtles may be
biologically sampled (blood, skin biopsy). Annually, up to 750 green,
250 hawksbill, and 250 Kemp's ridley may be harassed by vessel and UAS
surveys. The permit would be valid for 5 years.
