SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
subject modification to Permit No. 1448,
issued on January 9, 2004 (69 FR 3332)
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 222–
226).
Permit No. 1448 authorizes the permit
holder to handle, measure, flipper tag,
scan for Passive Integrated Transponder
(PIT) tags, biopsy sample and
photograph a total of 1,500 loggerhead,
50 green, 250 leatherback and 50
hawksbill sea turtles and handle,
measure, flipper tag, scan for PIT tags
and photograph a total of 50 Kemp’s
ridley sea turtles over the duration of
the permit. Seventy-five of the
loggerheads and 20 of the Kemp’s
ridleys will also be dip-netted. This
research is conducted on animals that
have been already incidentally captured
in commercial fisheries operating in
state waters and the Exclusive Economic
Zone in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean to
determine the size and composition of
populations of sea turtles found in the
commercial fishing areas of the
Northwest Atlantic Ocean and to
establish individual identities of turtles.
The permit holder requests additional
authorization to biopsy sample any of

the 50 Kemp’s ridley sea turtles for
which the permit holder is already
authorized to handle, measure, flipper
tag, scan for PIT tags and photograph
that are greater than 25 cm in total
carapace length notch to tip). Tissue
biopsies would be collected using the
same protocol currently authorized by
the existing permit. This data would
help confirm observer identifications of
sea turtles made by collaborating NOAA
researchers.

1531 et seq.) and the regulations
governing the taking, importing, and

The applicant proposes to continue
long-term monitoring of the status of
green and hawksbill turtles in the
Hawaiian Islands to determine their
abundance, size ranges, health/disease
status, diving behavior, habitat use,
foraging ecology, local movements, and
migration routes. Researchers would
annually capture up to 600 green and 10
hawksbill sea turtles by hand, scoop net,
entanglement net, and bullpen net. All
green sea turtles would be measured,
weighed, passive integrated transponder
tagged, and flipper tagged. A subset of
green sea turtles would have their shell
etched with an identification mark, be
blood sampled, tissue sampled, lavaged,
and have an electronic tag attached to
them. Hawksbill sea turtles would be
measured, weighed, passive integrated
transponder tagged, flipper tagged,
blood sampled, and tissue sampled. All
animals would be released. Research
would take place in the Hawaiian
Islands and the permit would be issued
for 5 years.
