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.
