SUMMARY: The National Technical
Information Service (NTIS) is seeking
qualified candidates to serve as
members of the NTIS Advisory Board
(Board). The Board will meet at least
semiannually to advise the Secretary of
Commerce, the Under Secretary for
Technology, and the Director of NTIS on
NTIS’s mission, general policies and fee
structure.
Patrick Opay or Jason Blackburn,
(301)713–2289.
The
subject permit is requested under the
authority of the Endangered Species Act
of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.) and the regulations
governing the taking, importing, and
exporting of endangered and threatened
species (50 CFR 222–226).
The applicant proposes to capture up
to 106 green sea turtles over the course
of a three-year permit, utilizing dip nets
or pound nets. The pound nets will be
set up daily by the researchers,
monitored at all times, and taken down
when not in use. All 106 turtles will be
captured, measured, Passive Integrated
Transponder (PIT) and flipper tagged,
blood sampled, skin biopsied, oral
gastric lavaged, fecal sampled, and
released. A subset of these turtles would
have satellite or acoustic transmitters
attached to their carapace. The purpose
of the proposed research is to study
juvenile and sub-adult green sea turtles
found in the waters of the Big Sable
Creek (BSC) complex in Everglades
National Park in southwest Florida, to
determine whether or not these animals
are resident in BSC, or use it as a
stopover point during migration; to
determine whether the turtles use BSC
as a foraging or nursery grounds; to
determine the turtles’ origin by use of
genetic testing; to determine what the
turtles forage on while in BSC; to
determine their relative abundance over
time; to detect changes in sea turtle size
and age composition; and to track the
turtles using a variety of tagging
methods to monitor and document
movement and migration patterns.
