• Description:
  "The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to issue two scientific research permits for takes under the authority of the Endangered Species Act. The purpose of File No. 14506 is to assess sea turtle population structure, trends in relative abundance, habitat utilization, sex ratios, physiology, genetics, zoogeography, and epidemiology in three habitats along Florida's Atlantic coast. The purpose of File No. 14726 is to locate and describe areas of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico that serve as developmental habitat for pelagic-stage neonate and juvenile sea turtles, quantify threats to pelagic sea turtles, and gather information on their life history, genetics, movements, behavior and diet. The preferred alternative is not expected to have more than short-term effects on sea turtles and will not significantly impact the quality of the human environment"--Cover letter.
