==Dear Meghan,==
==Dear Meghan,==
Attached, please find the monthly summary of marine turtle removals for September 2017. This month, we captured twenty (20) Caretta caretta , thirty-one (31)
 
Chelonia mydas , and one (1) Eretmochelys imbricata in the intake canal of the St. Lucie power plant on Hutchi nson Island. There were two sea turtle mortalities and one turtle was sent for rehabilitation. As with all sea turt le strandings at the Saint Lucie Plant (alive or dead), the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) was consulted and a stranding form was filed with the state through the Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network. In addition, one smalltooth sawfish was entrained into the intake canal during September. There were two causal mortalities this month. On September 11 th, the day after Hurricane Irma made landfall in Florida, two fresh dead turtles were found pinned against the primary 5-inch ba rrier net. The first was a juvenile 2green turtle with no salient wounds or abnormalities. The second was a subadult loggerhead with recent boat strike injuries; it had healing prop wounds along the length of its skull and anterior carapace. The turtles were not retained for necropsy due to the logistical constraints following a major hurricane. Both mortalities were ultimately considered causal to power plant operations and, as such, go against the take limit established by the most recent Biological Opinion set forth by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).
Attached, please find the monthly summary of marine turtle removals for September 2017. This month, we captured twenty (20) Caretta caretta, thirty-one (31) Chelonia mydas, and one (1) Eretmochelys imbricata in the intake canal of the St. Lucie power plant on Hutchinson Island. There were two sea turtle mortalities and one turtle was sent for rehabilitation. As with all sea turtle strandings at the Saint Lucie Plant (alive or dead), the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) was consulted and a stranding form was filed with the state through the Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network. In addition, one smalltooth sawfish was entrained into the intake canal during September.
One loggerhead was sent for rehabilitation this month. On September 25th, an emaciated subadult loggerhead with a heavy epibiont load was removed from the primar y 5-inch barrier net. It ha d two large cuts through the right posterior carapace from a boat strike (15 cm and 30 cm in length) and large partially healed wounds in its neck. After consultation with FWC, Inwater Research Group (IRG) biologists transported the turtle to the Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach for rehab. This stranding was classified as non-causal. On September 17th, a smalltooth sawfish (Pristis pectinata) became entangled in the turtle capture nets at the St. Lucie Power Plant intake canal. Additional resources from IRG, FPL, and Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute (HBOI) were called in to assist with the removal. Removal was completed according to the Smalltooth Sawfish Handling, Transportation, and Release Protocols (FPL 2007) and recent smalltooth sawfish on-site training (2016). The smalltooth sawfish was an adult male with a total length of 347 cm and an estimated weight of 135 kg. The animal was in good condition with only minor fresh scrapes. Tissue samples were collected and tags applied by HBOI biologists under NMFS permit 21043. It was successfully released into the ocean adjacent to the intake canal beach access. Thereafter, IRG biologists monitored the three-mile stretch of beach near the release site for any possible delayed impacts on the captured smalltooth sawfish for seven days.
There were two causal mortalities this month. On September 11th, the day after Hurricane Irma made landfall in Florida, two fresh dead turtles were found pinned against the primary 5-inch barrier net. The first was a juvenile 1
The incidental take limit established by the 2016 Biol ogical Opinion set forth by NMFS is one non-lethal capture (take) of U.S. Distinct Population Segment smalltooth sawfish every five years. Therefore, FPL has not exceeded its take limit with regards to smalltooth sawfish. Hurricane Irma significantly impacted the barrier nets within the FPL intake canal. The high winds and storm surge resulted in significant stress on the primary 5-inch net; however, water did not come over the top o f the barrier net as previously reported. The hurricane ultimately did cause the failure of the secondary 8-inch A-1-A barrier net. Underwater Engineering Services, Inc. (UES I) personnel were on site immediately after the storm to remove debris, inspect and cl ean the 5-inch net, restoring its in tegrity. No holes were found during the post-storm inspection of the primary barrier net. In addition, UESI removed and replaced the severely damaged 8-inch net over the following two weeks. IRG personnel insp ected the entire length of th e intake canal (up to the security barrier) at least twice daily for turtles that may have made it past the primary or secondary barrier nets for the remainder of the month. Additional effort was also made to proactively capture turtles with dip nets east of the primary barrier net.
 
Altogether, only one turtle was encountered west of the primary barrier net in September. A juvenile green turtle was recovered from the intake wells on September 11th that was in good condition. The permanent 5-inch barrier net enc ountered moderate-to-severe loads of comb jellies and algae during the month of September. Unlike the small gelatinous comb jellies, or ctenophores, algae can readily interfere with the operation of the power plant by restricting access to sufficient quantities of clean cooling water. As such, Inwater Research Group biologists performed around-the-clock monitoring of the intake canal and barrier net system either as warranted by suffici ently high debris intrusion levels or whenever directed by FPL oversight personnel. Furthermore, Underwater E ngineering Services was dispatched several times in order to clean the primary 5-inch net of all accumulated algae and debris. 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 2017. In addition, this spreadsheet tracks fresh scrapes incurred on captured turtles for the current month, as well as the entire year. An additional Excel spreadsheet tracks all causal injuries and mo rtalities incurred by sea turtles at the St. Lucie Plant since 2004.

Attached, please find the monthly summary of marine turtle removals for September 2017. This month, we captured twenty (20) Caretta caretta, thirty-one (31) Chelonia mydas, and one (1) Eretmochelys imbricata in the intake canal of the St. Lucie power plant on Hutchinson Island. There were two sea turtle mortalities and one turtle was sent for rehabilitation. As with all sea turtle strandings at the Saint Lucie Plant (alive or dead), the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) was consulted and a stranding form was filed with the state through the Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network. In addition, one smalltooth sawfish was entrained into the intake canal during September.

There were two causal mortalities this month. On September 11th, the day after Hurricane Irma made landfall in Florida, two fresh dead turtles were found pinned against the primary 5-inch barrier net. The first was a juvenile 1

green turtle with no salient wounds or abnormalities. The second was a subadult loggerhead with recent boat strike injuries; it had healing prop wounds along the length of its skull and anterior carapace. The turtles were not retained for necropsy due to the logistical constraints following a major hurricane. Both mortalities were ultimately considered causal to power plant operations and, as such, go against the take limit established by the most recent Biological Opinion set forth by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).

One loggerhead was sent for rehabilitation this month. On September 25th, an emaciated subadult loggerhead with a heavy epibiont load was removed from the primary 5-inch barrier net. It had two large cuts through the right posterior carapace from a boat strike (15 cm and 30 cm in length) and large partially healed wounds in its neck. After consultation with FWC, Inwater Research Group (IRG) biologists transported the turtle to the Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach for rehab. This stranding was classified as non-causal.

On September 17th, a smalltooth sawfish (Pristis pectinata) became entangled in the turtle capture nets at the St. Lucie Power Plant intake canal. Additional resources from IRG, FPL, and Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute (HBOI) were called in to assist with the removal. Removal was completed according to the Smalltooth Sawfish Handling, Transportation, and Release Protocols (FPL 2007) and recent smalltooth sawfish on-site training (2016). The smalltooth sawfish was an adult male with a total length of 347 cm and an estimated weight of 135 kg. The animal was in good condition with only minor fresh scrapes. Tissue samples were collected and tags applied by HBOI biologists under NMFS permit 21043. It was successfully released into the ocean adjacent to the intake canal beach access. Thereafter, IRG biologists monitored the three-mile stretch of beach near the release site for any possible delayed impacts on the captured smalltooth sawfish for seven days.

The incidental take limit established by the 2016 Biological Opinion set forth by NMFS is one non-lethal capture (take) of U.S. Distinct Population Segment smalltooth sawfish every five years. Therefore, FPL has not exceeded its take limit with regards to smalltooth sawfish.

Hurricane Irma significantly impacted the barrier nets within the FPL intake canal. The high winds and storm surge resulted in significant stress on the primary 5-inch net; however, water did not come over the top of the barrier net as previously reported. The hurricane ultimately did cause the failure of the secondary 8-inch A-1-A barrier net. Underwater Engineering Services, Inc. (UESI) personnel were on site immediately after the storm to remove debris, inspect and clean the 5-inch net, restoring its integrity. No holes were found during the post-storm inspection of the primary barrier net. In addition, UESI removed and replaced the severely damaged 8-inch net over the following two weeks. IRG personnel inspected the entire length of the intake canal (up to the security barrier) at least twice daily for turtles that may have made it past the primary or secondary barrier nets for the remainder of the month. Additional effort was also made to proactively capture turtles with dip nets east of the primary barrier net. Altogether, only one turtle was encountered west of the primary barrier net in September. A juvenile green turtle was recovered from the intake wells on September 11th that was in good condition.

The permanent 5-inch barrier net encountered moderate-to-severe loads of comb jellies and algae during the month of September. Unlike the small gelatinous comb jellies, or ctenophores, algae can readily interfere with the operation of the power plant by restricting access to sufficient quantities of clean cooling water. As such, Inwater Research Group biologists performed around-the-clock monitoring of the intake canal and barrier net system either as warranted by sufficiently high debris intrusion levels or whenever directed by FPL oversight personnel. Furthermore, Underwater Engineering Services was dispatched several times in order to clean the primary 5-inch net of all accumulated algae and debris.

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 2017. In addition, this spreadsheet tracks fresh scrapes incurred on captured turtles for the current month, as well as the entire year. An additional Excel spreadsheet tracks all causal injuries and mortalities incurred by sea turtles at the St. Lucie Plant since 2004.

NOTES

1. Juvenile green turtle removed from the intake wells following Hurricane Irma. Turtle was in good condition and was released following the workup and health assessment.
2. DEAD (CAUSAL MORTALITY). Stranding #RCW170911-01. Fresh dead juvenile green found pinned on 5-inch barrier net after Hurricane Irma. Necropsy not possible for logistical reasons (the day after a major hurricane makes landfall). Weight estimated at 25 kg.
3. DEAD (CAUSAL MORTALITY). Stranding #RCW170911-02. Subadult loggerhead found pinned against 5-inch barrier net after Hurricane Irma. Deep healing prop wound along length of skull and nuchal.

Mouth split open, healing. Necropsy not possible for logistical reasons (the day after a major hurricane makes landfall). Weight estimated at 45.0 kg.

4. Adult female. Tail length = 219 mm. Missing left rear flipper (healed, most likely a congenital deformity).
5. Adult female. Tail length = 240 mm.
6. RECAPTURE. Turtle was removed from the intake canal, tagged and released at Hutchinson Island on 7/22/13, and 9/14/17.
7. PAPILLOMAS (Balazs Tumor Score = 3 {heavy}, Total Tumor Score = 52). After some consideration the turtle was released because the weight was normal, locomotion was not significantly impeded, the eyes were not occluded, and the turtle was quite active.
8. RECAPTURE. Turtle was removed from the intake canal, tagged and released at Hutchinson Island on 4/5/12, and 9/18/17. Moderate fresh scrapes above left eye and in left anterior carapace (bone exposed).

New Inconel tags inserted on this capture event.

9. RECAPTURE. Turtle was removed from the intake canal, tagged and released at Hutchinson Island on 3/19/08, 6/28/13, 5/25/14, 2/12/16, 6/1/17, and 9/19/17.
10. STRANGE TAG (2 PIT tags in RFF), contacted Peter Eliazar from the Archie Carr Center for Sea Turtle Research for more information. Large indentation or notch in right posterior carapace (old, healed).
11. PAPILLOMAS (Balazs Tumor Score = 1 {light}, Total Tumor Score = 4).
12. RECAPTURE. Turtle was removed from the intake canal, tagged and released at Hutchinson Island on 5/29/09, 7/24/09, 11/18/11, 4/11/13, 2/9/15, 7/2/15, 10/30/16, and 9/21/17. Turtle missing 85% of right rear flipper (healed). Indentation in marginals on right side of carapace (likely a congenital deformity).
13. RECAPTURE. Turtle was removed from the intake canal, tagged and released at Hutchinson Island on 8/23/08, 9/17/08, 1/10/09, 3/17/09, 12/18/09, 9/25/10, 11/11/10, 5/18/13, 8/31/13, 7/15/14, 1/30/16, 6/22/17, and 9/22/17. Turtle is likely a male (tail is somewhat elongated).
14. RECAPTURE. Turtle was removed from the intake canal, tagged and released at Hutchinson Island on 7/26/08, and 9/23/17.
15. RECAPTURE. Turtle was removed from the intake canal, tagged and released at Hutchinson Island on 5/20/11, 7/28/14, 5/19/15, and 9/23/17.
16. RECAPTURE. Turtle was removed from the intake canal, tagged and released at Hutchinson Island on 5/19/17, and 9/24/17.
17. RECAPTURE. Turtle was removed from the intake canal, tagged and released at Hutchinson Island on 8/18/07, 8/21/07, 8/24/07, 9/2/07, 9/10/07, 10/25/07, 12/17/07, 1/25/08, 4/6/08, 4/30/08, 7/13/08, 8/24/08, 9/13/08, 10/6/08, 10/18/08, 4/17/09, 6/17/09, 8/13/09, 10/27/09, 6/11/10, 9/15/10, 9/15/11, 10/21/11, 11/30/11, 7/7/12, 3/20/13, 11/4/15, 12/27/16, 1/6/17, 5/30/17, and 9/24/17.
