Up to 25 Kemp’s ridley, 25 green, 25 loggerhead, and 10 hawksbill sea turtles may be captured by hand, dip net, cast net, or entanglement net, marked (temporary paint, flipper, passive integrated transponder), epibiota removed, photographed, videoed, weighed, and measured prior to release. A subset of sea turtles would be biologically sampled (blood, scute, skin) or receive transmitters (acoustic and satellite tags or a video tag attached with epoxy or by drilling through the carapace) prior to release. The permit would be valid for 10 years. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Dated: June 29, 2023. Julia M.
