Description:

"The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to issue scientific research permit No. 16146 to Kristen Hart. The purpose of this research is to quantify real-time habitat use of sea turtles within and around the Buck Island Reef National Monument. The research would also provide information on genetic stock structure, vital rates, and local population abundance. All turtles would be subject to capture and removal of epibiota; photographed, measured and weighed; blood, biopsy, and fecal sampled; flipper and passive integrated transponder tagged; lavaged; and released. A subset of animals would have satellite transmitters, VHF transmitters, and/or accelerometers attached. Under NOAA Administrative Order 216-6, NMFS' issuance of scientific research permits is generally categorically excluded from the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) requirements to prepare an environmental assessment (EA) or environmental impact statement (EIS). However, for this permit NMFS prepared an EA to facilitate a more thorough assessment of potential impacts on endangered and threatened sea turtles. This EA evaluates the potential impacts to the human environment from issuance of the proposed permit"--Abstract from EA; Portfolio comprised of two related PDF documents digitized and organized by: NOAA Office of Program Planning and Integration (PPI) National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) staff.
