SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 1,
2013 and September 18, 2013, notices
were published in the Federal Register
(78 FR 39258 and 78 FR 57353) that a
request for a scientific research permit
and a modification of Permit No. 14726–
01, respectively, to take sea turtles had
been submitted by the above-named
individuals. The requested permit and
permit modification have been issued
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 parts
222–226).
Permit No. 18069 authorizes
researchers to capture green, loggerhead,
Kemp’s ridley, and hawksbill sea turtles
by encircle or strike net to assess the
species’ composition, relative
abundance, size-class distribution,
genetic structure, trophic status, health,
seasonality, habitat use, and migrations
of marine turtles inhabiting the coastal
waters of Charlotte Harbor and the Ten
Thousand Islands in southwest Florida.
Sea turtles may have the following
procedures performed before release:
measure; photograph/video; flipper and
passive integrated transponder tag;
weigh; skin, scute and blood sample;
and/or attach one to two transmitters to
the carapace. A subset of animals may
be transported and held in the lab for 48
hours for fecal sampling prior to release.
The permit is valid for 5 years from the
date of issuance.
Permit No. 14726–01 authorizes the
permit holder to locate and describe
areas of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of
Mexico near Florida that serve as
developmental habitat for pelagic-stage
juvenile and neonate loggerhead, green,
Kemp’s ridley, hawksbill, and
leatherback sea turtles, to quantify
threats to pelagic sea turtles, and to
gather information on their life-history,
genetics, movements, behavior, and
diet. Researchers are authorized to
capture by dip net, flipper and passive

integrated transponder tag, measure,
weigh, and oral swab sea turtles. A
subset of animals may be skin biopsied,
fecal sampled, lavaged or have a
satellite tag attached. The permit
modification (No. 02) 1) expands the
action area in the Gulf of Mexico; 2)
authorizes another satellite tag
attachment method, scute sampling, and
blood sampling; and 3) increases the
take numbers and life stages of animals
that may be harassed or biologically
sampled and satellite tagged. The permit
is valid through September 15, 2015.
Issuance of these permits, as required
by the ESA, was based on a finding that
each 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.
