northwest coast of Florida. Researchers
are authorized to capture sea turtles
annually by strike net, tangle net, dip
net or hand capture. Captured sea
turtles may be measured, weighed,
passive integrated transponder tagged,
flipper tagged, epibiota sampled, tissue
sampled, blood sampled, gastric
lavaged, carapace marked,
photographed, and released. A subset of
sea turtles may be fitted with telemetry
tags—either a satellite tag or an acoustic
tag with an accelerometer.
Issuance of this permit, as required by
the ESA, was based on a finding that
such permit (1) Was applied for in good
faith, (2) will not operate to the
disadvantage of such endangered or
threatened species, and (3) is consistent
with the purposes and policies set forth
in section 2 of the ESA.
