TY - JOUR T1 - Growth and secondary production of an eventual reef fish during mangrove residency AN - 20948777; 8347013 AB - Hierarchical data frameworks have been proposed to determine the relative value of fish habitats. Although conceptually accurate, judgments as to which habitat is more ''essential'' are limited by a lack of available information. This work provides much needed growth and production rates for gray snapper (Lutjanus griseus), an ontogenetic habitat shifting reef fish, during mangrove residency. Ages were estimated using modal progression analysis of length-frequency distributions coupled with a biologically-realistic spawning date. Growth estimates place age-1 L. griseus at 155mm (TL), age-2 at 243, and age-3 at 302mm. These size-at-age estimates are consistent with otolith-based studies and are a natural extension of linear growth models for early juveniles. Lutjanus griseus primarily use southeastern Florida mangrove shoreline habitats for approximately 2years between 0.86 and 2.84years of age. Corresponding production:biomass ratios for these cohorts were 1.51 and 0.90. While these values are similar to other estimates for fishes inhabiting vegetated coastal wetlands in North America, they are much less than new estimates from a Bahamian mangrove creek system. These new data highlight important differences between the habitat value of mangrove shorelines of continental (low-relief) and island (high-relief) systems.

AN - 16375973; 13537 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a freeway on new location in southeastern Horry County and northeastern Georgetown County, South Carolina is proposed. The coast of South Carolina is subject to the destructive forces of hurricanes. The South Strand and Waccamaw Neck areas, which are experiencing rapid population growth, are isolated from the mainland by the Waccamaw River. The bridge crossing the river lies 40 miles southwest US 17 in Georgetown. This distance places residents at higher risk of finding themselves unable to evacuate in the event of a hurricane. The study corridor for the facility, to be known as the Southern Evacuation LifeLine (SELL), is bounded by US 501, the Pee Dee River, and the Atlantic Ocean. The SELL would extend from the US 501/South Carolina (SC) 22 interchange nine miles northwest of Conway to SC 31 (Carolina Bays Parkway) west of Myrtle Beach or to US 17 in either the southeastern tip of Horry County or the northeastern tip of Georgetown County, depending on the alternative selected. Ten alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative would terminate on US 17 south of Holmestown Road. The freeway would consist of a four-lane, controlled-access, divided highway within a 400-foot rights-of-way along most of the alignment. Opposing lanes would be separated by a grass median, and frontage roads would be provided where necessary to maintain local access and continuity. The project would include a bridge over the Waccamaw River. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide the region with improved hurricane evacuation, congestion relief, and improved access to needed services and employment opportunities east and west of the Waccamaw River. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would cross 10 drainages, displacing 334 acres of wetlands, result in the loss of 825 acres of farmland, fragment wildlife habitat, require the displacement of 17 residences, 90 planned residential sites, two businesses, and five other structures. The SELL would traverse an area identified for possible future inclusion in the Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge. One hazardous waste site would b encountered by workers. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 15 sensitive receptor sites. Highway infrastructure would mar the otherwise rural and forested landscape.

Glutathione, LPx, and AChE exhibited the same pattern of decreasing levels with increasing developmental stage. Cholesterol showed an inverse relationship of increasing levels with increasing developmental stages. This research provides valuable background information that may be used in future assessments of amphipod biomarker research.

Population Characteristics. Current Population Reports AN - 881457285; ED520727 AB - This report discusses school enrollment levels and trends in the population aged 3 and older based on data collected in 2006 by the U.S. Census Bureau in the American Community Survey (ACS) and the Current Population Survey (CPS). Historically, the CPS has been the only data source used to produce school enrollment reports. This is the first report to show data from the ACS, supplemented with CPS data where they provide better information. The ACS has a larger sample size and will provide statistics for small levels of geography, which are reasons why it is used as a main source of enrollment data. Highlights of the report are: (1) In 2006, compared with the enrollment distribution of 2000, there were more students in college and high school and fewer in nursery, kindergarten, and elementary school; (2) High school dropouts constituted 11 percent of the population aged 18 to 24 years old; (3) More women than men are enrolled in college, and this has been true since 1979. Women have also become the majority of graduate students; (4) Diversity plays a prominent role among the school population, with differences apparent by geography. In the Western region of the United States, native non-Hispanic Whites were the minority among students enrolled in kindergarten through twelfth grade; and (5) Also in the Western region of the United States, over one-third of students enrolled in kindergarten through twelfth grade spoke a language other than English at home.

The patterns of surface productivity suggested by the two different summers were remarkably similar in the regions of data overlap and agree with recent compilations of summer conditions from remotely sensed data. Summer was characterized by low production in the middle and outer shelf associated with surface mixed layers that were stabilized by heat. Elevated productivity was restricted to regions associated with the surface expression of thermohaline fronts, as well as to tidally mixed regions adjacent to and between the Pribilof Islands. Based on Chl a and productivity measurements, the biological impact of the shelf-break front of the southeastern Bering Sea extends at least as far inshore as the Pribilof Islands. The existence of elevated summer productivity associated with a recently identified shelf-partition front between the Pribilof domain and the middle shelf domain east of St. Paul Island was confirmed, and its thermohaline nature resulting from cumulative intrusions of slope-derived water is described. Yearly estimates of new and primary productivity compiled for the various biophysical regimes range from >1800 mmol N m (super -2) yr (super -1) and >170 g C m (super -2) yr (super -1) at the shelf-break front to less than 700 mmol N m (super -2) yr (super -1) and 100 g Cm (super -2) yr (super -1) in oceanic and coastal waters. We hypothesize that trace metals, rather than macronutrients or grazing, likely restrict the seaward extent of elevated production at the shelf-break front. Iron may be supplied to the front by isopycnal mixing from deeper shelf waters that were in contact with sediments. By extending elevated production throughout the summer, the thermohaline and tidal fronts enhance the coupling of primary production to epipelagic food webs for the large populations of fish, birds and mammals in the region. Changes in the intensity or location of these frontal systems may impact populations that forage in them from the nearby Pribilof Islands. Abstract Copyright (2008) Elsevier, B.V.

Weak horizontal mean flows in the region (relative to an especially strong tidal component) support this contention. We examined the distribution of ammonium further north in the vicinity of the Pribilof Islands. On the middle shelf, bottom waters had concentrations of 4-7 mu mol kg (super -1) , and over the outer shelf there was a mid-depth ammonium tongue. Optimal multiparameter analysis of hydrographic data suggested that bottom waters from the middle shelf were prevalent across the outer shelf, and could account for this ammonium tongue. Drifter tracks demonstrated that middle shelf water was incorporated into a westward flow along the shelf break south of St. George Island, and mean flows derived from several decades of drifter tracks also show prominent cross-shelf advection in the region. This was consistent with a scalar argument suggesting that, in the vicinity of the Pribilof Islands, the seaward movement of middle shelf water, and loss of nitrogen over the middle shelf, was the result of advection rather than tidally driven lateral diffusion.

AN - 69309731; 18247416 AB - The resurgence of Microcystis blooms in the lower Great Lakes region is of great concern to public and ecosystem health due to the potential for these colonial cyanobacteria to produce hepatotoxic microcystins. A survey of Microcystis cell densities and microcystin concentrations during August 2004 showed particularly high concentrations of both cells and toxin in the nearshore regions of Saginaw Bay (Lake Huron) and western Lake Erie, often exceeding the World Health Organization's recommended drinking water limit of 1 microg L(-1). The dominant congener of microcystin in both basins was microcystin-LR (MC-LR), whereas the second most abundant congeners, accounting for up to 20-25% of the total microcystin concentrations, were MC-LA in Saginaw Bay and MC-RR in western Lake Erie. Multiplex PCR assays of Microcystis colonies isolated from these two regions showed that a much greater percentage of the Microcystis colonies from Saginaw Bay carried the mcyB gene necessary for microcystin production, in comparison with those from western Lake Erie. The mcyB genotypes sequenced separated into two distinct phylogenetic clusters, with Microcystis originating from Lake Erie predominantly in one branch and from Saginaw Bay present in both branches. These results indicate that the genetic composition of the bloom could impact the concentrations and congeners of microcystin produced and that the cell count methods currently being used to gauge public health threats posed by Microcystis blooms may not sufficiently assess actual bloom toxicity.

The approaches for dealing with the growth of health care costs and health insurance coverage are ever changing and information is needed on their efficacy. Research on health-related topics has been conducted for about a decade at the Census Bureau's Center for Economic Studies and the Research Data Centers. This paper begins by describing the confidential business and demographic Census Bureau data products used in this research. The discussion continues with summaries of nearly 30 papers, including how this work has benefited the Census Bureau and its research findings. Some focus on data linkages and assessing data quality, while others address important questions in the employer, public, and individual insurance markets. This research could not have been accomplished with public-use data. The newly available data from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and National Center for Health Statistics, as.

It is based on published and new magnetic data from nine synthetic samples with bulk compositions in the range 0.6ferrimagnetic [PM(PM')-->FM] transition, T (sub C) (X), and the PM(PM')-->AF transition, T (sub N) (X). In addition, the RSG phase is plotted as one of four stable phases at T (sub lambda lambda ') , a construction that is not required by the phase rule, but is strongly favored by the physics of competition between the incompatible magnetically ordered structures of the FM- and AF-phases. These phase relations are at such low temperature as to be of little consequence for terrestrial magnetism, however, they may well be essential for interpreting the magnetism of the Moon, Mars, and other cold planets. These phase relations are also essential for the characterization of fine natural and synthetic intergrowths, and for understanding magnetic materials for low-temperature technological applications.

The technique utilizes a (super 33) S- (super 36) S double spike for instrumental mass fractionation correction, and has been applied to snow pit samples collected from the Inilchek Glacier, Kyrgyzstan and from Summit, Greenland. These delta (super 34) S determinations provide the first high-resolution seasonal data for these sites, and are used to estimate seasonal sulfate sources. Deuterium (delta D) and oxygen (delta (super 18) O) isotope data show that the Inilchek and Summit snow pit samples represent precipitation over nearly equal 20 months. The delta (super 34) S values for the Inilchek ranged from +2.6+ or -0.4 ppm to +7.6+ or -0.4 ppm on sample sizes ranging from 0.3 to 1.8mu mol S. delta (super 34) S values for Greenland ranged from +3.6+ or -0.7 ppm to +13.3+ or -5 ppm for sample sizes ranging from 0.05 to 0.29 mu mol S. The SO (sub 4) (super 2-) concentration ranged from 92.6+ or -0.4 to 1049+ or -4 ng/g for the Inilchek and 18+ or -9 to 93+ or -6 ng/g for the Greenland snow pit. Anthropogenic sulfate dominates throughout the sampled time interval for both sites based on mass balance considerations. Additionally, both sites exhibit a seasonal signature in both delta (super 34) S and SO (sub 4) (super 2-) concentration. The thermal ionization mass spectrometric technique has three advantages compared to gas source isotopic methods: (1) sample size requirements of this technique are 10-fold less permitting access to the higher resolution S isotope record of low concentration snow and ice, (2) the double spike technique permits delta (super 34) S and S concentration to be determined simultaneously, and (3) the double spike is an internal standard.

Our sampling frame was all divers with U.S. home addresses who purchased a tag required for diving in the Bonaire National Marine Park in 2001. Divers were asked how they might have altered their trip choice had the quality of the coral reef system been different from what they experienced. From these responses we inferred the value of three different levels of quality defined by visibility, species diversity, and percent coral cover. We used random utility theory and mixed logit to analyze the choice questions. Our sample size was 211, and our survey response rate was 75%. For modest changes in quality we estimated per person annual losses at $45. For larger losses the value was $192.

These formulas are quite practical; in addition to being simple to implement on a computer, they make it possible to easily derive important general properties of the signal extraction filters. We also extend these formulas to estimates of future values of the unobserved signal, and we show how this result combines signal extraction and forecasting.

Contrasts between the two sources are significant and consistent. Urban BC tends to smaller sizes, fewer coated particles, thinner coatings, and less absorption per unit mass than biomass-burning BC. This suggests that urban BC may have a longer lifetime in the atmosphere and a different impact on BC radiative forcing in the first indirect effect than biomass-burning BC. These measurements bound the likely variability in the microphysical state of BC emissions from typical continental processes, and provide direct measurements of the size distribution and coating state of fine-mode BC for use in constraining climate and aerosol models. These results highlight the need for the integration of source-specific information into such models.

The method uses airborne in situ observations of BC particles, ozone and actinic flux. Total BC mass is obtained along the flight track by summing the masses of individually detected BC particles in the range 90 to 600-nm volume-equivalent diameter, which includes most of the BC mass. Ozone mixing ratios and upwelling and partial downwelling solar actinic fluxes were measured concurrently with BC mass. Two estimates used for the BC wavelength-dependent absorption cross section yielded similar heating rates. For mean altitudes of 16.5, 17.5, and 18.5 km (#+0.5 km) in the tropics, average BC heating rates were near 0.0002 K d-1. Observed BC coatings on individual particles approximately double derived BC heating rates. Ozone heating rates exceeded BC heating rates by approximately a factor of 100 on average and at least a factor of 4, suggesting that BC heating rates in this region are negligible in comparison.

Regional climate model scenarios developed by dynamically downscaling outputs from the GISS GCM are used by CMAQ to simulate present air pollution climatology, and modeled surface ozone mixing ratios are compared with recent observations. Though the model accurately simulates ozone in the northeast U.S. and in central California, a positive bias of 10 - 15 ppb exists throughout most of the central and southeast U.S. The model is also applied to a simulated 2050 climate based on the IPCC A1B greenhouse gas scenario. Two future simulations are conducted, one with anthropogenic emissions held at 2001 levels, and one with anthropogenic emissions reduced in accordance with the A1B scenario. Without ozone precursor emissions changes, increases from 2 - 5 ppb in summer mean 8-h ozone mixing ratios are projected in Texas and parts of the eastern U.S., while high ozone episodes become more frequent. Increases of 2 - 8 ppb during the autumn are predicted over a large area in the central and southwest U.S., suggesting a lengthening of the ozone season. These increases within the regional modeling domain are predicted despite large decreases in the future global background ozone mixing ratio. Substantial decreases exceeding 15 ppb during the summer are predicted for the future reduced emissions case. A sensitivity test conducted with 30% higher methane mixing ratio yields widespread ozone increases of 0.5 - 2 ppb, an effect larger than that of climate-induced increases in isoprene emissions, demonstrating the need to consider changes in methane levels alongside climate change when simulating future air quality.

AIRS channels near 7.6 m are used for CH4 retrieval, and they are most sensitive to the middle to upper troposphere, i.e., about 200 - 300 hPa in the tropics and 400 - 500 hPa in the polar region. The atmospheric temperature-humidity profiles, surface skin temperature, and emissivity required to derive CH4 are obtained from retrievals using separate AIRS channels and the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU). Comparison of AIRS retrieved profiles with some in situ aircraft CH4 profiles implied that the forward model used in the AIRS retrieval system V4.0 required a 2% increase in methane absorption coefficients for strong absorption channels, and this bias adjustment was implemented in the AIRS retrieval system V5.0. As a new operational product in V5.0, AIRS CH4 were validated using in situ aircraft observations at 22 sites of the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory, Global Monitoring Division (NOAA/ESRL/GMD), ranging from the Arctic to the tropical South Pacific Ocean, but their altitudes are usually above 300 hPa. The results show the bias of the retrieved CH4 profiles for this version is -1.4~0.1% and its RMS difference is about 0.5 - 1.6%, depending on altitude. These validation comparisons provide critical assessment of the retrieval algorithm and will continue using more in situ observations together with future improvement to the retrieval algorithm. AIRS CH4 products include not only the CH4 profile but also the information content. As examples, the products of AIRS CH4 in August 2004 and the difference of CH4 in May and September 2004 are shown. From these results a few features are evident: (1) a large AIRS CH4 plume southwest of the Tibetan plateau that may be associated with deep convection during the Asian summer monsoon; (2) high mixing ratios of AIRS CH4 in southeastern Asia and in the high northern hemisphere in the summer; and (3) the increase of AIRS CH4 from May to September in the high northern hemisphere that is likely linked with wetland emission but needs more study. Further analysis of these data and its comparison with model data will be addressed in a separate paper. JF - Journal of Geophysical Research. G.

As with the skill scores used to measure the accuracy of short-term weather forecasts, these metrics are low-order statistical measures of agreement with relevant, well-observed physical quantities. The metrics encompass five statistical summaries computed for five physical quantities (longwave, shortwave, and net cloud radiative effect, projected cloud fraction, and surface precipitation rate) over the global climatological annual cycle. Agreement is measured against two independent observational data sets. The metrics are computed for the models that participated in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 3, which formed the basis for the Fourth Assessment of the IPCC. Model skill does not depend strongly on the data set used for verification, indicating that observational uncertainty does not limit the ability to assess model simulations of these fields. No individual model excels in all scores though the "IPCC mean model," constructed by averaging the fields produced by all the CMIP models, performs particularly well across the board. This skill is due primarily to the individual model errors being distributed on both sides of the observations, and to a lesser degree to the models having greater skill at simulating large-scale features than those near the grid scale. No measure of model skill considered here is a good predictor of the strength of cloud feedbacks under climate change. The model climatologies, observational data sets, and metric scores are available on-line. JF - Journal of Geophysical Research.

Vessel emissions were sampled using a photoacoustic spectrometer in the Gulf of Mexico region. The highest emitters (per unit fuel burnt) are tug boats, thus making significant contributions to local air quality in ports. Emission of LAC from cargo and non cargo vessels in this study appears to be independent of engine load. Shipping fuel consumption data (2001) was used to calculate a global LAC contribution of 133( Delta #+27) Ggyr-1, or ~1.7% of global LAC. This small fraction could have disproportionate effects on both air quality near port areas and climate in the Arctic if direct emissions of LAC occur in that region due to opening Arctic sea routes. The global contribution of this LAC burden was investigated using the MOZART model. Increases of 20 - 50 ng m-3 LAC (relative increases up to 40%) due to shipping occur in the tropical Atlantic, Indonesia, central America and the southern regions of South America and Africa.

A technique for simultaneously obtaining the HRR, flame size (height and area), and the smoke point of the flame solely from visual images has been developed. The technique has been demonstrated on gaseous flames (methane, propane, ethylene, and propylene) and explored for five burning solid polymers. Estimations of the flame area from images of the stoichiometric contour based on the CH chemiluminescent region of the flames yielded a good linear correlation with measured HRR, valid for all of the gaseous and solid compounds tested, for burning rates above or below the smoke point. In contrast, flame heights and luminous images (i.e., from soot emission) were confounded by differing behavior above and below the smoke point.

In this laboratory study, attacks on baits were tested in the presence of two different rare earth materials (neodymium-iron-boride magnets and cerium mischmetal) believed to deter elasmobranch catch. Experiments were made with spiny dogfish and with Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) in pairwise tests of the rare earth materials and inert metal controls. Dogfish attacked and consumed baits tested with cerium mischmetal at a lower frequency than controls. Times to attack the baits were significantly higher in the presence of mischmetal, as were numbers of approaches before first attack. The time differential between mischmetal and control treatments and the number of baits consumed converged with increasing food deprivation (1h, 2d, and 4d), but treatment differences were always significant. Cerium mischmetal appeared to be irritating to dogfish and may disrupt their bait detection and orientation abilities. Magnets also appeared to irritate dogfish but provided no protection for baits in feeding trials. Pacific halibut showed no reaction whatsoever to the rare earth magnets or cerium mischmetal. Mischmetal, therefore, may be useful in reducing spiny dogfish bycatch in the halibut fishery. Disadvantages in using mischmetal in commercial operations are expense, hazardous nature, and relatively rapid hydrolysis in seawater.

Three possible reasons include (1) environmentally influenced variations in recruitment that cause wide fluctuations in annual landings, which tend to obscure effects of fishing, (2) competition between inshore and offshore components of the harvesting sector, and (3) partitioning of management jurisdiction among a Federal council and two State agencies. Wide variations in landings led to beliefs that high levels of fishing mortality were tolerable and recruitment overfishing was of no major concern. This encouraged somewhat laissez-faire management approaches that allowed fishing effort to increase over the years. Our objectives were to determine whether growth overfishing occurred in this fishery during 1960-2006, and whether and how decreases in size of shrimp within the landings, in response to increases in fishing effort, affected inflation-adjusted annual (calendar year) ex-vessel value of the landings, i.e., their value to the harvesting sector. Growth overfishing occurred in the early 1990s, and then abated as fishing effort declined due to rising fuel costs and competition from imported shrimp. However, inflation-adjusted annual ex-vessel value of the landings peaked in 1985, prior to growth overfishing. Management actions implemented in 2001 for Texas' territorial waters, and in the EEZ off Texas and Louisiana in 2006, should limit future fleet expansion and increases in fishing effort, thereby reducing the chances of growth overfishing and its potentially detrimental economic impacts on the harvesting sector. Growth overfishing should be included among the guidelines for future management of this brown shrimp fishery.

The implementation of DDM-3D for the widely used Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model was updated to account for recent changes in the base model and to include additional chemical mechanisms and advection schemes. The capabilities of CMAQ-DDM-3D were extended to enable execution using multiple processors in parallel and the computation of sensitivities to chemical reaction rate constants. The resulting direct sensitivity modeling system was tested for statistical agreement with the traditional difference method for calculating sensitivities, considering a summer episode in a domain covering the continental United States. Sensitivities to domain-wide and sector specific emissions, initial/boundary conditions, and chemical reaction rates were compared and found to be in good correlation for both primary and secondary air pollutants. The scalability of CMAQ-DDM-3D to the number of processors used in parallel was also examined. Sensitivity calculations were found to scale in a similar way to the base model, where the benefit to model runtime of adding more processors diminished for simulations that used more than eight processors.

Here, I used macroalgal communities on rocky reefs to examine the effects of both limpet grazing and nutrient enrichment on algal diversity throughout almost two years of succession. The experimental design included three levels each of grazing and nutrients, with unglazed terracotta pots attached to the rock as replicate plots in a high intertidal limpet-macroalgal community. Grazing effects varied by year. During the first year, grazing effects were context-dependent with limpets resulting in lower species richness, especially at the highest level of limpet density. However, at this highest level of limpet density, high enrichment counteracted the negative effect of limpets such that diversity was similar to that in treatments with lower limpet densities. In the second year, grazing generally decreased richness, regardless of enrichment. The results of this experiment are partially consistent with the grazer-reversal hypothesis - grazing decreased richness in low nutrient conditions and this effect was neutralized (rather than reversed) under high enrichment. Inconsistencies with model predictions may be explained by the apparent unresponsiveness of algal productivity to experimental enrichment, the unique substrate-scraping feeding mechanisms of limpets, and potentially limited propagule supply.

Our mission includes NOAA's legacy maritime navigation programs, as well as requirements for ocean and coastal stewardship. Maritime transportation is the engine of our economy. We help provide the information that moves America--from aviation, surface, and marine weather to marine navigation information; hazardous spill and incident support; and accurate and consistent positioning information underpinning everything we do. But the story doesn't end there; NOS marine navigation data also supports other ocean sciences and coastal requirements, magnifying the benefit of NOAA's investment in its transportation information services.

Maximum changes in the total DIC concentrations along P02 are 15 - 20 mol kg-1 over 10 years, somewhat higher than the 61 mol kg-1 a-1 increase in DIC expected based on the rate of atmospheric CO2 increase. The maximum changes of 15 - 20 mol kg-1 along the P16 line over the 14/15-year time frame fit with the expected magnitude of the anthropogenic signal, but there is a deeper than expected penetration of the signal in the North Pacific compared to the South Pacific. The effect of varying circulation on the total DIC change, based on decadal alterations of the apparent oxygen utilization rate, is estimated to be greater than 10 mol kg-1 in the North Pacific, accounting for as much as 80% of the total DIC change in that region. The average anthropogenic CO2 inventory increase along 30 deg N between 1994 and 2004 was 0.43 mol m-2 a-1, with much higher inventories in the western Pacific. Along P16, the average Northern Hemisphere increase was 0.25 mol m-2 a-1 between 1991/1992 and 2006 compared to an average Southern Hemisphere anthropogenic CO2 inventory increase between 1991 and 2005 of 0.41 mol m-2 a-1.

As part of an effort to enhance the strategies employed to manage and mitigate these events and their adverse effects, several approaches are being investigated for controlling blooms. Previous studies have established the presence of algicidal bacteria lethal to K. brevis in these waters, and we aim to characterize bacterial-algal interactions, evaluate their role as natural regulators of K. brevis blooms, and ultimately assess possible management applications. Herein, the algicidal activity of a newly isolated Cytophaga/Flavobacterium/Bacteroidetes (CFB)-bacterium, strain S03, and a previously described CFB-bacterium, strain 41-DBG2, was evaluated against various harmful algal bloom (HAB) and non-HAB species (23 total), including multiple clones of K. brevis, to evaluate algal target specificity. Strains S03 and 41-DBG2, which employ direct and indirect modes of algicidal lysis, respectively, killed ~20% and ~40% of the bacteria-containing isolates tested. Interestingly, no bacteria-free algal cultures were resistant to algicidal attack, whereas susceptibility varied occasionally among bacteria-containing isolates of a single algal taxon originating from either the same or different geographic location. The dynamics of K. brevis culture death appeared to differ according to whether the algicidal bacterium did or did not require direct contact with algal cells, with the former most rapidly affecting K. brevis morphology and causing cell lysis. Both bacterial strains promoted the formation of a small number of cyst-like structures in the K. brevis cultures, possibly analogous to temporary cysts formed by other dinoflagellates exposed to certain types of stress. Results were also consistent with earlier work demonstrating that bacterial assemblages from certain cultures can confer resistance to attack by algicidal bacteria, again indicating the complexity and importance of microbial interactions, and the need to consider carefully the potential for using such bacteria in management activities.

To examine the movements of manta rays in the Komodo Marine Park, Indonesia, an acoustic array was installed at up to seven sites in the park between 2000 and 2003. A total of 41 acoustic tags were deployed in three separate deployments in 2000, 2001 and 2002. Mantas were recorded in the park for up to 526 days with an average duration of 183 plus or minus 136 days, when mantas made from 3 to 303 individual visits to different sites (median 58 visits). There was a clear preference for three sites that comprised over 90% of manta activity. The most popular site (German Flag) was off the southern tip of Komodo Island in an area with a high degree of bathymetric structure. Examination of the longest records suggests some site preference with 5 of 7 individuals spending greater than 90% of their time at the location where they were tagged. Using a general linear model it was possible to examine the effects of daytime, lunar phase, aggregation site, season and tidal phase on visitation patterns. The vast majority of visits were recorded during daylight hours at all sites. The strongest effects of both the lunar and tidal phase were apparent in the northern sites with the most visits occurring when tidal intensity was the greatest during full and new moons. The strongest seasonal pattern was observed in the south where no mantas were recorded during the first quarter in any year. This coincides with an increase in temperature and reduction of productivity in this region associated with monsoonal shifts. The long-term fidelity indicates that marine-protected areas centered around aggregation sites could help protect this species from overexploitation.

Annual periodicity was validated from U. halleri injected with oxytetracycline and maintained in captivity over a 2 year period (n= 7). The coefficients estimated by the von Bertalanffy growth model were the disc width asymptote (W sub(D infinity )) (286 mm for males and 224 mm for females) and K (0.09 year super(-1) for males and 0.15 year super(-1) for females). The age structure of the population consisted of mostly older, mature males and females. Age at maturity was estimated at 3.80 years for females and 3.75 years for males, and the maximum assessed age was 14 years old. Males were more numerous than females throughout the year; however, from May to September, females outnumbered males. The U. halleri age and growth coefficients were comparable to other species in the family Urolophidae. Based on the seasonality and age structure of this population, Seal Beach offers warm-water refuge for U. halleri of reproductive maturity, and the U. halleri at Seal Beach may garner some behavioural thermoregulation benefit.

Key parameters used in the evaluation include direct energy, indirect energy, transportation energy, greenhouse gas emissions, and pollutant discharges. Power (electricity and natural gas) and feed energy accounted for the majority of the required energy for all the rearing option evaluated. The sum of the fixed capital and chemicals components accounted for less than 2-12% of the total energy budget for any rearing option. The energy efficiency (energy output/energy input) of the six options ranges from 0.97% for flow-through with pumped supply to 3.49% for the flow-through with gravity supply. The rearing options with the three highest energy efficiencies were flow-through with gravity supply (3.49%), partial reuse (2.75%), and reuse (2.64%). On a kg of smolt produced basis, the six rearing options showed a wide range in performance. The reuse system had the lowest water (2 m super(3) kg super(-) super(1)) and land (0.13 m super(2) kg super(-) super(1)) requirements and the third lowest total energy requirement (288 MJ kg super(-) super(1)). The partial reuse system had the second lowest total power requirement (276 MJ kg super(-) super(1)), a low land requirement (0.21 m super(2) kg super(-) super(1)), and moderate water requirements (33 m super(3) kg super(-) super(1)). The partial reuse with temperature control had the second highest total power requirement (657 MJ kg super(-) super(1)) and land and water requirements similar to the partial reuse system without temperature control. The flow-through system with pumped water supply had the highest water (289 m super(3) kg super(-) super(1)), land (2.19 m super(2) kg super(-) super(1)), and energy requirements (786 MJ kg super(-) super(1)) of any of the rearing options. By comparison, the flow-through system with gravity water supply had the lowest energy requirement (218 MJ kg super(-) super(1)), a moderate land requirement (0.78 m super(2) kg super(-) super(1)), and a high water requirement (214 m super(3) kg super(-) super(1)). The ranking of the six rearing options based capital and operating costs are likely to be quite different from those based on energy, water, and greenhouse gas emissions.

Proximity to both the slope and more shallow shelf waters, and the confluence of multiple physical domains differentiates conditions in this region from those in other areas on this shelf. This is a unique domain in the Bering Sea that we refer to as the ''Pribilof domain''. Hydrographic and biological data were collected during a 2004 summer research cruise in this region. The study undertook testing the hypothesis that on-shelf intrusion of slope waters supplies nutrients to this multi-domain area, thereby seasonally influencing new primary production and consequently the entire marine ecosystem. The Pribilof domain is characterized by enhanced mixing, particularly the area between St. Paul and St. George Islands; organized anti-cyclonic flow around St. Paul Island, around St. George Island, and around the island group; strong tidal currents; and is a location where nutrient-rich water from the bottom layer of the middle shelf and deeper water from the slope are vertically mixed to sustain production throughout the summer.

The technique utilizes a super(33)S- super(36)S double spike for instrumental mass fractionation correction, and has been applied to snow pit samples collected from the Inilchek Glacier, Kyrgyzstan and from Summit, Greenland. These d super(34)S determinations provide the first high-resolution seasonal data for these sites, and are used to estimate seasonal sulfate sources. Deuterium (dD) and oxygen (d super(18)O) isotope data show that the Inilchek and Summit snow pit samples represent precipitation over [asymptotic to]20 months. The d super(34)S values for the Inilchek ranged from +2.6 +/- 0.4ppt to +7.6 +/- 0.4ppt on sample sizes ranging from 0.3 to 1.8 kmol S. d super(34)S values for Greenland ranged from +3.6 +/- 0.7ppt to +13.3 +/- 5ppt for sample sizes ranging from 0.05 to 0.29 kmol S. The [View the MathML source] concentration ranged from 92.6 +/- 0.4 to 1049 +/- 4 ng/g for the Inilchek and 18 +/- 9 to 93 +/- 6 ng/g for the Greenland snow pit. Anthropogenic sulfate dominates throughout the sampled time interval for both sites based on mass balance considerations. Additionally, both sites exhibit a seasonal signature in both d super(34)S and [View the MathML source] concentration. The thermal ionization mass spectrometric technique has three advantages compared to gas source isotopic methods: (1) sample size requirements of this technique are 10-fold less permitting access to the higher resolution S isotope record of low concentration snow and ice, (2) the double spike technique permits d super(34)S and S concentration to be determined simultaneously, and (3) the double spike is an internal standard.

We evaluated the size and species of prey consumed by adult female and juvenile northern fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus) and adults and chicks of black-legged kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla), red-legged kittiwakes (Rissa brevirostris), thick-billed murres (Uria lomvia), and common murres (Uria aalge) from data collected between July and October 1960-2000. Sample sources included stomachs from seals and seabirds collected on pelagic foraging grounds in the eastern Bering Sea, seal scats from rookeries and seabird regurgitations and whole prey from nest sites on St. Paul and St. George Islands of the Pribilof Island archipelago. Typical prey included small fish and invertebrates (=<20cm for seals and =<12cm for seabirds) that concentrate along frontal boundaries of the continental shelf/slope and in the epi-pelagic zone. Squids and fishes including walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma), capelin (Mallotus villosus), and sand lance (Ammodytes hexapterus) were variably important in the diet of all five predators. Some prey, such as capelin, were principal in predator diets during the 1960s (seals) and into the early 1980s (seabirds), but declined or disappeared from all predator diets thereafter while others, such as walleye pollock, occurred with increasing frequency from the 1970s forward. As the number of individuals consuming walleye pollock increased, the overall volume of pollock in seabird diets declined. This decline was coincident with a decrease in the age and body size of pollock consumed by both seabirds and fur seals. Squid and pollock were negatively correlated in the diets of their primary consumers, northern fur seals (Pearson's coefficient -0.71, p=0.016) and thick-billed murres (Pearson's coefficient=-0.74, p=0.015) from the 1970s forward. Inter-island variation in diet was evident to varying degrees for all predators, with a prevalence of fish on St. Paul Island and invertebrates on St. George Island. Bayesian time-series analysis of synthesized data described significant temporal cross-correlation in diet among northern fur seals, red- and black-legged kittiwakes, and thick-billed murres. For all correlated predators except common murres, beta-binomial modeling indicated that trends in the occurrence of four of the five primary prey (sand lance, capelin, squid, and pollock) evaluated, were significantly associated with eastern Bering Sea time-series trends in sea surface temperature, ice retreat or a combination of both. Data synthesis highlighted potential competition and a scenario for the effects of an altered prey field on the population stability of predators. The association between correlated diet changes among predators and indices of oceanographic shifts in the 1970s and the 1990s allow scrutiny of hypotheses concerning causal mechanisms in population declines.

AN - 19484871; 8484702 AB - Stomach contents and vertebrae from neonate and juvenile blacktip sharks Carcharhinus limbatus (n= 334) were examined to describe their diet, feeding patterns and growth within the Timbalier-Terrebone Bay complex, LA, U.S.A. In the study area, both neonate and juvenile C. limbatus feed primarily on gulf menhaden Brevoortia patronus. However, based on the index of relative importance (I sub(RI)), gulf menhaden constituted a larger portion of the diet of neonates (84.05 %I sub(RI)) than for juveniles (47.91 %I sub(RI)). An increase in the index of relative fullness between the afternoon and dusk time intervals and a large decrease in the percentage of empty stomachs between the night and early morning time intervals suggested that these fish exhibited a diel feeding pattern with crepuscular periods being the times of highest feeding activity. A higher percentage of empty stomachs (neonates 68% and juveniles 39%) and a significantly lower growth rate (age 0+ year C. limbatus, 0.62 mm day super(-1); age 1+ year fish, 0.89 mm day super(-1)) could indicate that neonate C. limbatus are less efficient predators than older conspecifics.

During the seasonal maximum in the spring, this location regularly observes hourly average ozone mixing ratios >=50ppbv in air that is uninfluenced by the North American continent. Mean daytime values in the spring exceed 40ppbv. A location in southern California (Channel Islands National Park) demonstrates many of the characteristics during the spring as Trinidad Head in terms of air flow patterns and ozone amounts suggesting that background levels of ozone entering southern California from the Pacific Ocean are similar to those in northern California. Two inland locations (Yreka and Lassen Volcanic National Park) in northern California with surface ozone data records of 20 years or more are more difficult to interpret because of possible influences of local or regional changes. They show differing results for the long-term trend during the spring. The 10-year ozone vertical profile measurements obtained with weekly ozonesondes at Trinidad Head show no significant longer-term change in tropospheric ozone.

The focus of this paper is on fine particulate matter (PM sub(2) sub(.) sub(5)) and its chemical composition. Improvements made to the dry deposition velocity and cloud treatment in CMAQ v4.5 addressing compensating errors in 36-km simulations improved particulate sulfate (SO sub(4) super(2) super(-)) predictions. Large overpredictions of particulate nitrate (NO sub(3) super(-)) and ammonium (NH sub(4) super(+)) in the fall are likely due to a gross overestimation of seasonal ammonia (NH sub(3)) emissions. Carbonaceous aerosol concentrations are substantially underpredicted during the late spring and summer months, most likely due, in part, to a lack of some secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation pathways in the model. Comparisons of CMAQ PM sub(2) sub(.) sub(5) predictions with observed PM sub(2) sub(.) sub(5) mass show mixed seasonal performance. Spring and summer show the best overall performance, while performance in the winter and fall is relatively poor, with significant overpredictions of total PM sub(2) sub(.) sub(5) mass in those seasons. The model biases in PM sub(2) sub(.) sub(5) mass cannot be explained by summing the model biases for the major inorganic ions plus carbon. Errors in the prediction of other unspeciated PM sub(2) sub(.) sub(5) (PM sub(O) sub(t) sub(h) sub(e) sub(r)) are largely to blame for the errors in total PM sub(2) sub(.) sub(5) mass predictions, and efforts are underway to identify the cause of these errors.

Biochemical analysis of embryo samples included determination of moisture, ash, total lipid, protein content, fatty acid profile, and lipid profile. Moisture increased as the embryos matured. Protein content remained unchanged, ash content increased, and lipid content decreased on a dry weight basis coincident with embryonic development indicating that lipids were the main energy source of developing embryos. The utilization of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acid categories during development was similar but individual fatty acids within each category varied considerably. Over 75% of the C14:0, C18:4(n-3), and C20:1(n-11) fatty acids were consumed during the embryonic development from nauplius to pre-hatch while C22:5(n-3), C20:5(n-3), and C18:1(n-9)cis fatty acids were utilized at 49%, 57%, and 48% respectively. Docosahexaenoic acid, DHA, C22:6(n-3), was among the least utilized fatty acid at 36%. Forward stepwise general discriminant analysis of fatty acid profiles indicated that determination of fatty acid profiles could be used to distinguish between embryos at the nauplius stage and the prehatching stage of development but not among embryos at intermediate stages. Triacylglycerides provided the energy source during development. This research highlights the potential nutrient requirements critical to early life-history development of Bering Sea snow crabs.

Satellite transmitters were deployed on seals at St. Paul (n=19) and St. George (n=20) Islands during the 2004 breeding season. A total of 167 complete foraging trips were identified, with individuals making 2-8 consecutive trips each. Foraging trip directional bearing, total distance traveled, maximum distance traveled, trip duration, and relative search effort were used to make comparisons among islands, rookeries, and individuals. The amount of time individuals spent in each of five hydrographic domains (inner shelf, middle shelf, outer shelf, shelf break, and oceanic) were important factors in determining foraging strategies. These domains are related to the bathymetry of the continental shelf, have predictable temperature, salinity, and current structures, and were used to define foraging habitat differences within and among individuals and rookeries. Based on cluster analysis and model results, we distinguished three types of individual foraging route tactics. Identifying variability in foraging route choices at the rookery and individual level is important for understanding the ability of northern fur seals to adapt to changes in environmental conditions and prey distributions.

AN - 873131229; 14433-4_0001 AB - PURPOSE: Adjustments of the fishery management plans (FMPs) regulating gag and red grouper within the reef fish fishery of the Gulf of Mexico is proposed through amendment 30B. The status of the Gulf's gag and stock indicates that the species is overfished and undergoing overfishing. The status of the stock is influenced not only by fishing mortality rates in the commercial and recreational gag fisheries, but also by gag bycatch mortality rate. The gag catch and bycatch rates of all fisheries must be substantially reduced to end overfishing. In order to prevent overfishing in the red grouper fishery, optimum yield (OY) must be set and area closures established. Twelve adjustments to the existing FMPs are proposed, as follows: 1) establishment, for gag, of the maximum fishing mortality threshold (overfishing threshold) and maximum stock size threshold (overfished threshold), as well as the target OY; 2) establishment of the total allowable catch (TAC) based on the OY for gag; 3) adjustment of the TAC for red grouper to the equilibrium OY level; 4) establish the commercial and recreational allocations for gag and red grouper stocks based on the full lands time series (1986 though 2005), which provides a robust allocation that reduces the influence of short-term shifts, but may not reflect recent changes in the use of the resource; (5) establishment of shallow-water grouper annual catch limits and accountability measures; 6) establishment of shallow-water grouper, red grouper, and gag commercial quotas; 7) application of quota closures for gag and an incidental harvest trip limit once 80 percent of the species quota is reached; 8) establish recreational harvest levels for both red grouper and gag through a combination of bag limits, size limits, and closed seasons; 9) reduction of regulatory discards on commercial grouper vessels by reducing the minimum size limit on one or more shallow-water grouper species that have a size limit; 10) creation of marine reserves and seasonal time/area closures for gag; 11) establish a mechanism to determine the duration of marine reserve status and area closures; (12)establishment of a requirement that vessels with federal commercial or charter reef fish permits comply with the more restrictive of state or federal reef fish regulations with fishing in state waters. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The amendment would effectively address stock rebuilding and overfishing of red grouper and gag in the Gulf. Enough commercial and recreational fishing would be allowed to maintain economic and cultural viability of the fisheries. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Harvest limits, including TAC and bag and size limits and the like, and area closures and the establishment of marine reserves would reduce the commercial viability of commercial and recreational vessel operators somewhat and, in some cases, could result in significant economic losses. Similarly, bycatch limits and associated fishing gear restrictions, resulting in reduced harvests, would place economic stress on some vessel operators in both the shrimp and snapper fisheries.

Similarly, bycatch limits and associated fishing gear restrictions, resulting in reduced harvests, would place economic stress on some vessel operators in both the shrimp and snapper fisheries.

Early studies here (1983-1986) demonstrated up to an ~80% prevalence of toxicopathic liver lesions, including neoplasms, in resident English sole (Parophrys vetulus). These lesions in English sole are consistently associated with PAH exposure in multiple field studies, and one laboratory study. Later studies (1986-1988) incorporated biomarkers of PAH exposure and effect, including hepatic CYP1A expression and xenobiotic-DNA adducts, and biliary fluorescent aromatic compounds (FACs). Before site remediation, lesion prevalences and other biomarker values in this species from Eagle Harbor were among the highest compared to other sites in Puget Sound and the US Pacific Coast. To sequester PAH-contaminated sediments, in 1993-1994, a primary cap of clean sediment was placed over the most-contaminated 54acres, with a 15-acre secondary cap added from 2000-2002. Lesion prevalences and biomarker values before primary capping were reduced compared to 1983-1986, consistent with facility closure in 1988 and shore-based source controls begun in 1990. Liver lesion risk, hepatic CYP1A activities, and levels of biliary FACs from fish collected immediately after and at regular intervals up to 2 years after primary capping were variable relative to pre-capping. Over the entire monitoring period since primary capping (128 months), but particularly after 3 years, there was a significantly decreasing trend in biliary FACs, hepatic DNA adducts and lesion risk in English sole. In particular, lesion risk has been consistently low (<0.20) compared to primary cap initiation (set at 1.0), from pound sterling years after primary capping through April 2004. These results show that the sediment capping process has been effective in reducing PAH exposure and associated deleterious biological effects in a resident flatfish, and that longer term monitoring of pollutant responses in biological resources, such as resident fish, is needed in order to demonstrate the efficacy of this type of remediation.

L. monocytogenes was isolated from every 25-g sample of individually quick frozen (IQF) shrimp that was tested. The level of contamination in each composite sample ranged from 5 to 16 colony forming units (CFU) per 25 g. When individual shrimp taken from the 25-g sample portions were tested separately, samples positive for L. monocytogenes ranged from 1 of 12 to 5 of 15 shrimp tested. The project also evaluated the effectiveness of three methods to inactivate the bacterium: ozone, chlorine dioxide, and steam as possible product reconditioning strategies. Ozone and chlorine dioxide were both found to be ineffective reconditioning treatments for shrimp naturally contaminated with L. monocytogenes. Experiments with steam conducted at the laboratory and later at the shrimp processing plant verified that shrimp contaminated with L. monocytogenes could be safely reconditioned by steam pasteurization. Steam was used successfully to pasteurize several thousand pounds of contaminated shrimp in the processing plant. When the naturally contaminated product was packaged in either oxygen-permeable or impermeable films and stored at 5C and 10C, the product was deemed spoiled by sensory evaluation after 9 days of storage, at which time the L. monocytogenes population were 3 104 CFU per g. By comparison, when an isolate (strain 4311) from naturally contaminated shrimp was inoculated onto the pasteurized shrimp at a concentration of 12 cells /25g, the L. monocytogenes population reached 3.0 108 per g after 9 days of storage. The pasteurization process used in this study would not be effective in inactivation of Clostridium botulinum. Ready-to-eat-shrimp must therefore be stored below 3C or frozen.

AN - 71657127; 18455754 AB - This study examined the effects of a polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) compound, PBDE-47, on adult and larval stages of the estuarine grass shrimp (Palaemonetes pugio). The 96-h LC50 test resulted in an estimate of 23.60 microg/L (95% confidence interval=14.51-38.37 microg/L) for larval shrimp. Adult shrimp had a higher 96-h LC50 of 78.07 microg/L (95% CI=65.1-93.63 microg/L). Four physiological biomarkers glutathione (GSH), lipid peroxidation (LPx), cholesterol (CHL) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) were then assessed to study the sublethal effects of PBDE-47 exposure. GSH, LPx and AChE levels in both adults and larvae were not affected by PBDE-47 at concentrations up to 50 microg/L for 96 h. CHL levels were elevated in adults and larvae at the lowest exposure concentrations tested, but significant differences were found only in adult exposures. Effects associated with PBDE-47 aqueous exposures were observed at levels well above those reported in the environment.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - SNAPPER GROUPER AMENDMENT 16 (GAG AND VERMILLION SNAPPER) OF THE SOUTH ATLANTIC REGION. AN - 36392973; 13520-080288_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the fishery management plan (FMP) for the South Atlantic snapper grouper fishery is proposed to address new developments in the gag and vermilion snapper subfisheries. Recent assessments have indicated that the target species are being overfished. Pending the outcome of a new benchmark assessment of vermillion snapper populations, the regional administrator can make adjustments to commercial and recreational management measures. The amendment would also specify the total allowable catch (TAC) and define interim allocations for gag and vermillion snapper, update management reference points for the two species, and reduce bycatch of other snapper grouper species. Since a new benchmark assessment for vermillion snapper is ongoing, this amendment includes an action that would allow the regional administrator to make the necessary adjustments to management measures to end overfishing. This final EIS addresses alternatives that specify interim allocations for the commercial and recreational sectors for the two species. The amendment would also implement new status determination criteria for gag and vermilion snapper, including maximum sustainable yield (MSY), optimum yield (OY), and minimum stock size threshold, which reflect current scientific information as provided by the assessments and approved by the Scientific and Statistical Committee. In addition, the amendment would include alternatives that would require fishing gear alterations designed to reduce bycatch of nontarget snapper grouper species. The preferred alternatives for gag snapper would establish MSY and OY of 1.22 million pounds, a TAC of 694,000 pounds gutted , a commercial quota of 353,940 pounds gutted, a directed commercial quota allocations of 223,411 pounds gutted for North and South Carolina and 129,529 pounds gutted to Georgia and Florida, and a recreational quota of 340,060 pounds gutted. In addition, the FMP amendment would establish a gag seasonal fishery closure from January through April. Additional preferred recreational measures would reduce the five-grouper aggregate bag limit to three grouper, reduce the existing two gag or black grouper to one gag or black groups within the grouper aggregate bag limit, and prohibit the captain and crew on charter vessels from possessing a bag limit for grouper. The preferred alternatives for vermilion snapper would establish MSY and OY of 2.7 million pounds, an interim TAC of 566,179 million pounds gutted, a commercial quota of 385,002 pounds gutted, a directed commercial quota allocations of 68 percent of the commercial quota for North and South Carolina and 32 percent to Georgia and Florida, and a recreational quota of 201,107 pounds gutted. In addition, the FMP amendment would divide the directed commercial quota into seasons, with 50 percent available from January through June and 50 percent available from July through December, with transfer any remaining quota from the first half of the year to the second half of the year; reduce the bag limit for vermilion snapper from 10 fish to four fish; close the fishery from October through May 15; require specific gear alterations to reduce bycatch of nontarget snapper grouper species for both commercial and recreational fisheries, and allow the regional administrator to adjust the management measures regarding seasonal quotas and associated catch size limits based on the outcome of the ongoing benchmark assessment. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The amendment would either alter current management measures or implement new management measures that would reduce current harvest levels to yields associated with the OPY and end overfishing of gag and vermilion snapper in the South Atlantic NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Seasonal closures and reduced allocations could create short-term economic hardships for some commercial operators and recreational charter boat operators. Commercial fishing interests other than vessel operators, particularly fish processing companies, could also experience declines in gross annual revenue due to supply shortages. Gear restrictions would add expense to operating costs of vessel owners. [LEG]Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.).

The aim of this study was to understand the relationship between the redox state of iron-based nanoparticles and their cytotoxicity toward a Gram-negative bacterium, Escherichia coli. While chemically stable nanoparticles (*gFe2O3) have no apparent cytotoxicity, nanoparticles containing ferrous and, particularly, zerovalent iron are cytotoxic. The cytotoxic effects appear to be associated principally with an oxidative stress as demonstrated using a mutant strain of E. coli completely devoid of superoxide dismutase activity. This stress can result from the generation of reactive oxygen species with the interplay of oxygen with reduced iron species (FeII and/or Fe0) or from the disturbance of the electronic and/or ionic transport chains due to the strong affinity of the nanoparticles for the cell membrane.

AN - 70764347; 18440598 AB - There is increasing concern about pharmaceuticals entering surface waters and the impacts these compounds may have on aquatic organisms. Many contaminants, including pharmaceuticals, are not completely removed by wastewater treatment. Discharge of effluent into surface waters results in chronic low-concentration exposure of aquatic organisms to these compounds, with unknown impacts. Exposure of virulent bacteria in wastewater to antibiotic residues may also induce resistance, which could threaten human health. The purpose of this study was to provide information on pharmaceutical threats to the environment. A preliminary risk assessment database for common pharmaceuticals was created and put into a web-accessible database named "Pharmaceuticals in the Environment, Information for Assessing Risk" (PEIAR) to help others evaluate potential risks of pharmaceutical contaminants in the environment. Information from PEIAR was used to prioritize compounds that may threaten the environment, with a focus on marine and estuarine environments. The pharmaceuticals were ranked using five different combinations of physical-chemical and toxicological data, which emphasized different risks. The results of the ranking methods differed in the compounds identified as high risk; however, drugs from the central nervous system, cardiovascular, and anti-infective classes were heavily represented within the top 100 drugs in all rankings. Anti-infectives may pose the greatest overall risk based upon our results using a combination of factors that measure environmental transport, fate, and aquatic toxicity. The dataset is also useful for highlighting information that is still needed to assuredly assess risk.

Simulations using the global tracer model version 3 (TM3) also show similar seasonal enhancement of CH sub(4) in the same region. The model results also suggest that this enhancement is associated with transport process and local surface emissions, thus the observations to tropospheric CH sub(4)during the monsoon season may be used to constrain the models for a better estimation of Asian CH sub(4) sources. Further comparisons between AIRS observations and the model simulations indicate a possible overestimate of CH sub(4) emissions from rice paddies in Southeast Asia. Moreover, the observed tropospheric CH sub(4) enhancement from AIRS provides evidence for the strong transport of atmospheric pollutants from the lower to the upper troposphere in Asia during the monsoon season, and the observed rapid disappearance of local CH sub(4) maximum in September may provide valuable information for studying the dissipation of the Tibetan anticyclone and the withdrawal of monsoon.

AN - 36409138; 13507 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a deepwater liquefied natural gas (LNG) port in the federal waters of the outer continental shelf (OCS) in the OCS NG 17-06 (Bahamas) lease area is proposed. The port, to be known as Calypso, lies eight to 10 miles off the east coast of Florida to the northeast of Prot Everglades in water depths of 800 to 950 feet. Calypso would consist of a permanently moored unloading buoy system with two submersible buoys separated by a distance of approximately three miles. The buoys would be designed to moor and unload a LNG transport and regasification vessel (TRV) with a capacity of up to 140,000 cubic meters of LNG and a storage and regasification ship (SRS) with a capacity of 250,000 cubic meters of LNG. In addition the SRS would be designed to berth and unload LNG from conventional LNG carriers. The TRVs and the SRS would be equipped to vaporize LNG cargo to natural gas through an onboard closed loop shell-and-tube vaporization system, and send-out by means of the unloading buoy to conventional subsea pipelines. The unloading buoys would be connoted to the Calypso pipeline, a pipeline permitted by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, via two 2.5-mile long 30-inch-diameter pipelines located on the seabed. No onshore pipelines of LNG storage facilities would be associated with the proposed deepwater port. Calypso would have an acreage throughput capacity of 1.1 billion standard cubic feet per day (bscfpd) and a peak delivery capacity of 1.9 bscfpd. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers two alternative deepwater port locations, both of which are off the coast of Florida; various alternative LNG transshipment technologies; and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The port would help provide a reliable and timely supply of natural gas and to increase energy source diversity in the United States. The port would not interfere with international navigation or other reasonable uses of t he high seas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Buoy anchoring and related seabed work and pipeline construction would result in disturbance of the benthic environment and creation of turbidity in the water column in the immediate areas. Operational activities would result in similar disturbances in the immediate area of the port as well as releases of high-saline water into the area. Use of seawater in the vaporization of LNG would involve returning the seawater, after treatment with various biocides, back into the ambient ocean. Approximately 167 million gallons of seawater per day would pass through the vaporization system. Operation of the vaporization system would destroy entrained ichthyoplankton, fish eggs and larvae, and fish in the early stages of life.

[Part 6 of 7] T2 - LEASE APPLICATION: CALYPSO LNG DEEPWATER PORT, OFF THE EAST COAST OF FLORIDA. AN - 36394647; 13507-080274_0006 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a deepwater liquefied natural gas (LNG) port in the federal waters of the outer continental shelf (OCS) in the OCS NG 17-06 (Bahamas) lease area is proposed. The port, to be known as Calypso, lies eight to 10 miles off the east coast of Florida to the northeast of Prot Everglades in water depths of 800 to 950 feet. Calypso would consist of a permanently moored unloading buoy system with two submersible buoys separated by a distance of approximately three miles. The buoys would be designed to moor and unload a LNG transport and regasification vessel (TRV) with a capacity of up to 140,000 cubic meters of LNG and a storage and regasification ship (SRS) with a capacity of 250,000 cubic meters of LNG. In addition the SRS would be designed to berth and unload LNG from conventional LNG carriers. The TRVs and the SRS would be equipped to vaporize LNG cargo to natural gas through an onboard closed loop shell-and-tube vaporization system, and send-out by means of the unloading buoy to conventional subsea pipelines. The unloading buoys would be connoted to the Calypso pipeline, a pipeline permitted by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, via two 2.5-mile long 30-inch-diameter pipelines located on the seabed. No onshore pipelines of LNG storage facilities would be associated with the proposed deepwater port. Calypso would have an acreage throughput capacity of 1.1 billion standard cubic feet per day (bscfpd) and a peak delivery capacity of 1.9 bscfpd. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers two alternative deepwater port locations, both of which are off the coast of Florida; various alternative LNG transshipment technologies; and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The port would help provide a reliable and timely supply of natural gas and to increase energy source diversity in the United States. The port would not interfere with international navigation or other reasonable uses of t he high seas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Buoy anchoring and related seabed work and pipeline construction would result in disturbance of the benthic environment and creation of turbidity in the water column in the immediate areas. Operational activities would result in similar disturbances in the immediate area of the port as well as releases of high-saline water into the area. Use of seawater in the vaporization of LNG would involve returning the seawater, after treatment with various biocides, back into the ambient ocean. Approximately 167 million gallons of seawater per day would pass through the vaporization system. Operation of the vaporization system would destroy entrained ichthyoplankton, fish eggs and larvae, and fish in the early stages of life. The port would mar visual aesthetics for commercial and recreational vessel users.

POSITIVE IMPACTS: The port would help provide a reliable and timely supply of natural gas and to increase energy source diversity in the United States. The port would not interfere with international navigation or other reasonable uses of t he high seas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Buoy anchoring and related seabed work and pipeline construction would result in disturbance of the benthic environment and creation of turbidity in the water column in the immediate areas. Operational activities would result in similar disturbances in the immediate area of the port as well as releases of high-saline water into the area. Use of seawater in the vaporization of LNG would involve returning the seawater, after treatment with various biocides, back into the ambient ocean. Approximately 167 million gallons of seawater per day would pass through the vaporization system. Operation of the vaporization system would destroy entrained ichthyoplankton, fish eggs and larvae, and fish in the early stages of life. The port would mar visual aesthetics for commercial and recreational vessel users.

[Part 4 of 7] T2 - LEASE APPLICATION: CALYPSO LNG DEEPWATER PORT, OFF THE EAST COAST OF FLORIDA. AN - 36381791; 13507-080274_0004 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a deepwater liquefied natural gas (LNG) port in the federal waters of the outer continental shelf (OCS) in the OCS NG 17-06 (Bahamas) lease area is proposed. The port, to be known as Calypso, lies eight to 10 miles off the east coast of Florida to the northeast of Prot Everglades in water depths of 800 to 950 feet. Calypso would consist of a permanently moored unloading buoy system with two submersible buoys separated by a distance of approximately three miles. The buoys would be designed to moor and unload a LNG transport and regasification vessel (TRV) with a capacity of up to 140,000 cubic meters of LNG and a storage and regasification ship (SRS) with a capacity of 250,000 cubic meters of LNG. In addition the SRS would be designed to berth and unload LNG from conventional LNG carriers. The TRVs and the SRS would be equipped to vaporize LNG cargo to natural gas through an onboard closed loop shell-and-tube vaporization system, and send-out by means of the unloading buoy to conventional subsea pipelines. The unloading buoys would be connoted to the Calypso pipeline, a pipeline permitted by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, via two 2.5-mile long 30-inch-diameter pipelines located on the seabed. No onshore pipelines of LNG storage facilities would be associated with the proposed deepwater port. Calypso would have an acreage throughput capacity of 1.1 billion standard cubic feet per day (bscfpd) and a peak delivery capacity of 1.9 bscfpd. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers two alternative deepwater port locations, both of which are off the coast of Florida; various alternative LNG transshipment technologies; and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The port would help provide a reliable and timely supply of natural gas and to increase energy source diversity in the United States. The port would not interfere with international navigation or other reasonable uses of t he high seas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Buoy anchoring and related seabed work and pipeline construction would result in disturbance of the benthic environment and creation of turbidity in the water column in the immediate areas.

AN - 36344066; 13529 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to improve fish passage and restore aquatic habitat at Hemlock Dam in the Mount Adams Ranger District of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Skamania County, Washington is proposed. The 22-foot-high dam was constructed in 1935 to provide hydroelectric power for the Wind River Ranger District; a fish ladder was added in 1936. The dam was later modified to provide a reservoir from which to draw irrigation water for the Wind River Nursery. Key issues addressed during scoping are associated with loss of recreational opportunities at Hemlock Lake, direct impacts to the historic dam, and the release of sediment into Trout Creek and Wind River. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action (Alternative B) would include removal of the dam, including abutments and the flashboards, disposal of the rubble in the Carson Guler Quarry, dredging of a pilot channel through the lake sediments, disposal of the 2,500 cubic yards of sediments that are excavated during construction of the pilot channel at an acceptable location, passive erosion of the sediments from the lake and formation of a new channel through the era occupied by the lake following the alignment established by the pilot channel, shaping and stabilization of the newly formed channel banks where necessary one to two years following implementation of the project, modification of the Hemlock recreational facilities to accommodate the new stream channel and adjust to the loss of the reservoir, and implementation of protection and conservation measures intended to mitigate adverse impacts of dam removal. By this reissuance of the final EIS under a new EPA number, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the Department of Commerce adopts the decision of the U.S. Forest Service. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve upstream and downstream passage for all life stages of fish at the Hemlock Dam site and improve water quality and habitat conditions in Trout Creek in the vicinity of the dam. In addition, the plan would provide a safe, cost-effective approach to the management of the Hemlock site and continue to support recreational opportunities at the site. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Recreational uses of the reservoir would be eliminated. Significant levels of sediment would be delivered downstream from the dam in the short-term, degrading water quality and damaging fish and riparian habitat. The historically significant dam and surroundings would be altered irretrievably.

Brevetoxins are thought to be synthesized by a polyketide synthase (PKS) complex, but the gene cluster for this PKS has yet to be identified. Here, eight PKS transcripts were identified in K. brevis by high throughput cDNA library screening. Full length sequences were obtained through 3' and 5' RACE, which demonstrated the presence of polyadenylation, 3'-UTRs, and an identical dinoflagellate-specific spliced leader sequence at the 5' end of PKS transcripts. Six transcripts encoded for individual ketosynthase (KS) domains, one ketoreductase (KR), and one transcript encoded both acyl carrier protein (ACP) and KS domains. Transcript lengths ranged from 1875 to 3397 nucleotides, based on sequence analysis, and were confirmed by northern blotting. Baysian phylogenetic analysis of the K. brevis KS domains placed them well within the protist type I PKS clade. Thus although most similar to type I modular PKSs, the presence of individual catalytic domains on separate transcripts suggests a protein structure more similar to type II PKSs, in which each catalytic domain resides on an individual protein. These results identify an unprecedented PKS structure in a toxic dinoflagellate.

Copepod species have two distinct mechanisms for increasing conduction speed of neural signals: larger diameter nerve axons and insulated axons, i.e., myelination. Myelinated axons have been found in certain species of the more recently-evolved calanoid superfamilies. Copepod representatives from these superfamilies were expected to have shorter response latencies than species from more ancestral superfamilies due to the increased conduction speed of nerve impulses in myelinated neurons. Using frame-by-frame playback and computerized motion analysis techniques, response latency, jump speed, and acceleration were measured. Kinetic performance of copepods was highly variable, with mean escape speeds ranging between 100-250 mm s super(-) super(1) and accelerations of 9-230 m s super(-) super(2). Minimum behavioral response latencies of 2 ms were recorded for both myelinated and non-myelinated calanoids. There was no significant difference between the response latencies of copepods from the myelinated and non-myelinated superfamilies. Furthermore, no relationships were found between copepod latency and size for either myelinated or non-myelinated species. Previous research may suggest that myelin may shorten the response latencies of certain calanoid species. However, our results show that non-myelinated copepods are also capable of responding rapidly, within as few as 2 ms, to hydrodynamic stimuli and produce similar kinetic performance to myelinated species. The main advantage of myelination over giant nerve axons is their more efficient transfer of nerve impulses resulting in a metabolic energy savings. Although this energetic reward would be important for copepods in food-limited environments, for coastal copepods, in food-rich habitats, either mechanism is a viable solution.

possible insights into reef development in a high-CO (sub 2) world AN - 762673769; 2010-092389 AB - Ocean acidification describes the progressive, global reduction in seawater pH that is currently underway because of the accelerating oceanic uptake of atmospheric CO (sub 2) . Acidification is expected to reduce coral reef calcification and increase reef dissolution. Inorganic cementation in reefs describes the precipitation of CaCO (sub 3) that acts to bind framework components and occlude porosity. Little is known about the effects of ocean acidification on reef cementation and whether changes in cementation rates will affect reef resistance to erosion. Coral reefs of the eastern tropical Pacific (ETP) are poorly developed and subject to rapid bioerosion. Upwelling processes mix cool, subthermocline waters with elevated pCO (sub 2) (the partial pressure of CO (sub 2) ) and nutrients into the surface layers throughout the ETP. Concerns about ocean acidification have led to the suggestion that this region of naturally low pH waters may serve as a model of coral reef development in a high-CO (sub 2) world. We analyzed seawater chemistry and reef framework samples from multiple reef sites in the ETP and found that a low carbonate saturation state (Omega ) and trace abundances of cement are characteristic of these reefs. These low cement abundances may be a factor in the high bioerosion rates previously reported for ETP reefs, although elevated nutrients in upwelled waters may also be limiting cementation and/or stimulating bioerosion. ETP reefs represent a real-world example of coral reef growth in low-Omega waters that provide insights into how the biological-geological interface of coral reef ecosystems will change in a high-CO (sub 2) world.

AN - 69375699; 18672716 AB - The performance of gaseous air cleaners for commercial and residential buildings has typically been evaluated using test protocols developed for a controlled laboratory chamber or a test duct. It is currently unknown how laboratory measurements relate to the actual performance of an air cleaner installed in a real building. However, to date, there are no air cleaner field test protocols available, thereby limiting the existing field data. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has conducted a series of experiments to support test procedure development for evaluating the installed performance of gaseous air cleaning equipment, as well as metrics for characterizing field performance. To date, over 100 experiments have been completed, of which 23 portable air cleaner experiments and 6 in-duct air cleaner experiments are described in this paper. Tests were conducted in a finished three-bedroom/two-bathroom manufactured house equipped with several gas chromatographs to semi-continuously measure air change rates and volatile organic compound concentrations. Experimental variables included air cleaner location, isolation of zones by closing doors, and contaminant source location. For each experiment, air cleaner removal of decane was directly measured using the air cleaner inlet and outlet concentrations, as well as with mass balance analyses using measured room concentrations. With a verified mass balance model, a field performance metric was developed to compare installed whole-building performance to the performance predicted by a laboratory result. The results provide insight into the protocols and metrics that might prove useful for characterizing the field performance of air cleaners as well as the impact of air cleaner removal on zonal concentration levels in a variety of situations.

AN - 69303091; 18499193 AB - North Sea drill cuttings piles are a distinct anthropogenic legacy resulting from the exploration and production of North Sea oil reserves. The need to understand metal cycling within the piles becomes increasingly important with the imminent decommissioning of many North Sea platforms and the subsequent fate of associated cuttings piles. This paper presents results of the simultaneous analysis of geochemical carrier substances (Mn and Fe oxyhydroxides), along with dissolved (0.2 microm) metal (Ba, Co, Cr, Cu, Mo, Pb, V) concentrations from a North Sea cuttings pile and surrounding sediment. These data are examined in conjunction with in situ measured porewater oxygen and sulfide. Results show a rapid removal of oxygen within the top few millimeters of the cuttings pile along with elevated concentrations of total hydrocarbons and solid phase metal concentrations compared to the surrounding environment.

This is particularly true when flow is unsteady, and river forecasts rely on models that require uniform-flow rating curves to route water from one forecast point to another. As a result, alternative methods for measuring streamflow are needed to properly route flood waves and account for inertial and pressure forces in natural channels dominated by nonuniform-flow conditions such as mild water surface slopes, backwater, tributary inflows, and reservoir operations. The objective of the demonstration was to use emerging technologies to measure instantaneous streamflow in open channels at two existing US Geological Survey streamflow-gaging stations in Pennsylvania. Surface-water and instream-point velocities were measured using hand-held radar and hydroacoustics. Streamflow was computed using the probability concept, which requires velocity data from a single vertical containing the maximum instream velocity. The percent difference in streamflow at the Susquehanna River at Bloomsburg, PA ranged from 0% to 8% with an average difference of 4% and standard deviation of 8.81 m (super 3) /s. The percent difference in streamflow at Chartiers Creek at Carnegie, PA ranged from 0% to 11% with an average difference of 5% and standard deviation of 0.28 m (super 3) /s. New generation equipment is being tested and developed to advance the use of radar-derived surface-water velocity and instantaneous streamflow to facilitate the collection and transmission of real-time streamflow that can be used to parameterize hydraulic routing models.

The accumulation of urban contaminants in stormwater ponds can lead to a number of water quality problems including high nutrient, chemical contaminant, and bacterial levels. This study examined the interaction between land use and coastal pond water quality in a South Carolina residential subdivision pond. Eutrophic levels of chlorophyll and phosphorus were present in all seasons. Harmful cyanobacterial blooms were prevalent during the summer months. Microcystin toxin and fecal coliform bacteria levels were measured that exceeded health and safety standards. Low concentrations of herbicides (atrazine and 2,4-D) were also detected during summer months. Drainage from the stormwater pond may transport contaminants into the adjacent tidal creek and estuary. A survey of residents within the pond's watershed indicated poor pet waste management and frequent use of fertilizers and pesticides as possible contamination sources. Educational and outreach activities were provided to community members to create an awareness of the water quality conditions in the pond. Pond management strategies were then recommended, and selected mitigation actions were implemented. Water quality problems identified in this study have been observed in other coastal stormwater ponds of varying size and salinity, leading this project to serve as a potential model for coastal stormwater pond management.

However, increased sea turtle work in recent years along the Atlantic coast of Africa and in countries south of Brazil now allows us to bring together researchers working on both sides of the Atlantic to address gaps in our knowledge of sea turtles in the southern Atlantic and establish transatlantic research collaborations. Therefore, the South Atlantic Sea Turtle Network was created and its first Workshop was held in Praia do Forte, Brazil, the headquarters of the Brazilian sea turtle program, Projeto TAMAR. An advisory committee composed of key researchers in the southern Atlantic region was assembled to develop an agenda and identify participants for the Workshop. This first Workshop focused only on loggerheads and leatherbacks and brought together 27 researchers working in or collaborating with projects in South America (Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina) and Atlantic Africa (Cape Verde, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Congo, Angola, and Namibia): Neca Marcovaldi, Gustave Lopez, Luciano Soares, Joca Thome, Paulo Barata, Bruno Giffoni, Eduardo Lima, Danielle Monteiro, Alexsandro Santos, Alejandro Fallabrino, Andres Domingo, Milagros Lopez-Mendilaharsu, Maria Noel Caraccio, Laura Prosdocimi, Diego Albareda, Gaelle Bal, Miguel Morais, Rod Braby, Elena Abella-Perez, Catalina Monzon, Peter Dutton, Angela Formia, Jacques Fretey, Michael Coyne, Eugenia Naro-Maciel, Manjula Tiwari, and Alan Bolten. Alain Gibudi and Samantha Petersen although unable to attend the Workshop, provided data for the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Africa, respectively.

On the basis of moisture transport and geography, the Southwest can be separated into two regions. The western region (32 deg - 36 deg N, 107.5 deg - 113 deg W) includes Arizona and western New Mexico and the eastern region (32 deg - 36 deg N, 103 deg - 107 deg W) includes eastern New Mexico. For both regions, years from 1900 to 2004 are classified based on the winter to summer P evolution. When winter and the following summer P anomalies have an inverse relationship, SSTAs do not persist. The summer SSTAs have strong influence on P. Soil moisture does not play a major role in modulating P anomalies. For cases that wetness (dryness) occurs in both winter and the following summer, the SSTA forcing associated with the P regime tends to persist. Positive SM-P feedbacks enhance P anomalies. For eastern New Mexico, there is a linear relationship between SM anomalies in spring and P anomalies in summer when SSTAs persist. JF - Journal of Geophysical Research.

The analytical process is divided into six easily replicable and causatively connected steps. The goal is two-fold: first, to present the inextricable connections between physical landscapes and the communities that occupy them. And second, to provide a fundamental tool to public policy designers that should simultaneously improve social acceptability of conservation policies and policy efficiency and effectiveness. Finally, this methodology is consciously heterogeneous from a theoretical perspective. This article puts together, in fruitful dialogue, contributions from varying places on the social theory spectrum: from political economy to poststructural theory.

Following exposure, various immune parameters were assessed and serum PFOS concentrations were determined. Lymphocyte proliferation was not altered in either gender. Natural killer cell activity was increased compared with control at 0.5, 1, and 5 mg/kg TAD in male mice but was not altered in female mice. At these treatment levels, splenic T-cell immunophenotypes were minimally altered in females, but all T-cell subpopulations were significantly modulated in males beginning at 0.1 mg/kg TAD. The sheep red blood cell (SRBC) plaque-forming cell (PFC) response was suppressed in male mice beginning at 0.05 mg/kg TAD and in females at 0.5 mg/kg TAD. Serum trinitrophenyl (TNP)-specific IgM titers were also decreased by PFOS after TNP-LPS (TNP conjugated to lipopolysacharide) challenge suggesting that the humoral immune effects may be attributed to the B-cell rather than T-cell because both T-dependent (SRBC) and T-independent (TI) (TNP-LPS) antigens result in suppressed IgM production. Based on the PFC response, the low observed effect level (LOEL) for males was 0.05 mg/kg TAD (ED sub(50) = 0.021 mg/kg TAD) and for females was 0.5 mg/kg TAD (ED sub(50) = 0.59 mg/kg TAD). Measured PFOS serum concentrations at these dose levels were 91.5 plus or minus 22.2 ng/g and 666 plus or minus 108 ng/g (mean plus or minus SD), respectively. The male LOEL serum level was approximately 14-fold lower than reported mean blood levels from occupationally exposed humans and fell in the upper range of concentrations reported for the general population. Overall, this study provides a profile of PFOS immunotoxicity showing effects at levels reported in humans and identifies the B-cells as a potential target.

Part I: Evaluation against National Observation Networks AN - 20653703; 9395264 AB - It is common practice to use Newtonian relaxation, or nudging, throughout meteorological model simulations to create 'dynamic analyses' that provide the characterization of the meteorological conditions for retrospective air quality model simulations. Given the impact that meteorological conditions have on air quality simulations, it has been assumed that the resultant air quality simulations would be more skillful by using dynamic analyses rather than meteorological forecasts to characterize the meteorological conditions, and that the statistical trends in the meteorological model fields are also reflected in the air quality model. This article, which is the first of two parts, demonstrates the impact of nudging in the meteorological model on retrospective air quality model simulations. Here, meteorological simulations are generated by the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University-National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5) using both the traditional dynamic analysis approach and using forecasts for a summertime period. The resultant fields are then used to characterize the meteorological conditions for emissions processing and air quality simulations using the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) Modeling System. As expected, on average, the near-surface meteorological fields show a significant degradation over time in the forecasts (when nudging is not used), while the dynamic analyses maintain nearly constant statistical scores in time. The use of nudged MM5 fields in CMAQ generally results in better skill scores for daily maximum 1-h ozone mixing ratio simulations. On average, the skill of the daily maximum 1-h ozone simulation deteriorates significantly over time when nonnudged MM5 fields are used in CMAQ. The daily maximum 1-h ozone mixing ratio also degrades over time in the CMAQ simulation that uses MM5 dynamic analyses, although to a much lesser degree, despite no aggregate loss of skill over time in the dynamic analyses themselves. These results affirm the advantage of using nudging in MM5 to create the meteorological characterization for CMAQ for retrospective simulations, and it is shown that MM5-based dynamic analyses are robust at the surface throughout 5.5-day simulations.

Part II: Evaluating Collocated Meteorological and Air Quality Observations AN - 20653210; 9395265 AB - For air quality modeling, it is important that the meteorological fields that are derived from meteorological models reflect the best characterization of the atmosphere. It is well known that the accuracy and overall representation of the modeled meteorological fields can be improved for retrospective simulations by creating dynamic analyses in which Newtonian relaxation, or 'nudging,' is used throughout the simulation period. This article, the second of two parts, provides additional insight into the value of using nudging-based data assimilation for dynamic analysis in the meteorological fields for air quality modeling. Meteorological simulations are generated by the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University-National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5) using both the traditional dynamic analysis approach and forecasts for a summertime period. The resultant meteorological fields are then used for emissions processing and air quality simulations using the Community Multiscale Air Quality Modeling System (CMAQ). The predictions of surface and near-surface meteorological fields and ozone are compared with a small network of collocated meteorological and air quality observations. Comparisons of 2-m temperature, 10-m wind speed, and surface shortwave radiation show a significant degradation over time when nudging is not used, whereas the dynamic analyses maintain consistent statistical scores over time for those fields. Using nudging in MM5 to generate dynamic analyses, on average, leads to a CMAQ simulation of hourly ozone with smaller error. Domainwide error patterns in specific meteorological fields do not directly or systematically translate into error patterns in ozone prediction at these sites, regardless of whether nudging is used in MM5, but large broad-scale errors in shortwave radiation prediction by MM5 directly affect ozone prediction by CMAQ at specific sites.

Numerous tornadic and nontornadic supercell thunderstorms have been observed by the research polarimetric Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) in Norman, Oklahoma (KOUN); additional storm data come from the Enterprise Electronics Corporation 'Sidpol' C-band polarimetric radar in Enterprise, Alabama, as well as the King City C-band polarimetric radar in Ontario, Canada. A number of distinctive polarimetric signatures are repeatedly found in each of these storms. The forward-flank downdraft (FFD) is characterized by a signature of hail observed as near-zero ZDR and high ZHH. In addition, a shallow region of very high ZDR is found consistently on the southern edge of the FFD, called the ZDR 'arc.' The ZDR and KDP columns and midlevel 'rings' of enhanced ZDR and depressed rHV are usually observed in the vicinity of the main rotating updraft and in the rear-flank downdraft (RFD). Tornado touchdown is associated with a well-pronounced polarimetric debris signature. Similar polarimetric features in supercell thunderstorms have been reported in other studies. The data considered here are taken from both S- and C-band radars from different geographic locations and during different seasons. The consistent presence of these features may be indicative of fundamental processes intrinsic to supercell storms. Hypotheses on the origins, as well as microphysical and dynamical interpretations of these signatures, are presented. Implications about storm morphology for operational applications are suggested.

Using in vitro exposure of rat liver cells to brevetoxin B (PbTx-2), the primary toxin product of K. brevis, we previously showed that it formed C sub(27,28)-epoxy brevetoxin metabolites capable of covalently binding to nucleic acids, a common initiation step for carcinogenesis. OBJECTIVE: This study was undertaken to evaluate nucleic acid adduction in lung following in vitro and in vivo brevetoxin exposures. METHODS: To clarify reactions of brevetoxin epoxide with DNA, we analyzed reaction products of PbTx-6 (a C sub(27,28) epoxide metabolite of brevetoxin B) with nucleosides. We also analyzed adducts from nucleic acid hydrolysates of isolated rat lung cells treated with PbTx-2 or PbTx-6 in vitro and lung tissue from rats after intratracheal exposure to PbTx-2 or PbTx-6 at 45 mu g toxin/kg body weight. RESULTS: Our results indicate that PbTx-2 forms DNA adducts with cytidine after treatment of isolated lung cells, and forms DNA adducts with adenosine and guanosine after intratracheal exposure. CONCLUSIONS: These results are consistent with metabolic activation of highly reactive brevetoxin intermediates that bind to nucleic acid. These findings provide a basis for monitoring exposure and assessing the hazard associated with depurination of brevetoxin-nucleotide adducts in lung tissue.

AOD is a measure of the extinction of the Sun' s beam due to aerosols. Daily files of AOD for five spectral measurements in the visible and near-infrared have been produced for 1997 - 2006. Comparisons of SURFRAD daily AOD averages to NASA' s Aerosol Robotic Network product at two of the stations were generally good. An AOD climatology for each SURFRAD station is presented as an annual time series of composite monthly means that represents a typical intra-annual AOD variation. Results are similar to previous U.S. climatologies in that the highest AOD magnitude and greatest variability occur in summer, the lowest AOD levels are in winter, and geographically, the highest-magnitude AOD is in the eastern United States. Springtime Asian dust intrusions show up as a secondary maximum at the western stations. A time series of nationwide annual means shows that 500-nm AOD has decreased over the United States by about 0.02 AOD units over the 10-year period. However, this decline is not statistically significant nor geographically consistent within the country. The eastern U.S. stations and westernmost station at Desert Rock, Nevada, show decreasing AOD, whereas the other two western stations show an increase that is attributed to an upsurge in wildfire activity in the last half of the decade.

Because this requirement is new, a body of applied scientific practice for deriving annual catch limits and accompanying targets does not yet exist. This article demonstrates an approach to setting levels of catch that is intended to keep the probability of future overfishing at a preset low level. The proposed framework is based on stochastic projection with uncertainty in population dynamics. The framework extends common projection methodology by including uncertainty in the limit reference point and in management implementation, and by making explicit the risk of overfishing that managers consider acceptable. The approach is illustrated with application to gag (Mycteroperca microlepis), a grouper that inhabits the waters off the southeastern United States. Although devised to satisfy new legislation of the MSRA, the framework has potential application to any fishery where the management goal is to limit the risk of overfishing by controlling catch.

As a result, the time bottleneck has shifted to the tissue-processing phase of many projects. We developed and tested a fish tissue collection method that reduces this bottleneck by replacing liquid preservative with chromatography paper, thus providing important time-saving advantages and greater convenience while removing hazardous material constraints from tissue handling. The results show that genomic DNA isolated from caudal-fin tissue samples collected on chromatography paper is similar in mean total yield, gel appearance, and PCR performance to DNA from tissues collected with ethanol in tubes.

In this study, samples from Type C killer whales (Orcinus orca) biopsied in Antarctica were analyzed for chemical tracers (i.e., stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen, fatty acids, and persistent organic pollutants [POPs]). Profiles of these individual tracers were very different from those of killer whale populations that have been studied in the eastern North and eastern Tropical Pacific. For example, d super(13)C and d super(15)N stable isotope values and most POP concentrations were significantly lower in the Antarctic population. In addition, multivariate statistical analyses of both fatty acid and POP profiles found distinctly different patterns for Antarctic Type C whales compared to those from whales in the other populations. Similar assays were conducted on four species of Antarctic marine fish considered potential prey for Type C killer whales. Results were consistent with a diet of fish for Type C whales, but other species (e.g., low trophic-level marine mammals or penguins) could not be eliminated as supplemental prey.

The model results have been qualitatively compared to measurements taken during three flights of the NOAA WP-3D aircraft, which sampled a plume from the New York City area during the NEAQS 2004 campaign. The model has been used to study the formation processes and photochemical evolution of alkyl nitrates. While long-chain (C5) alkyl nitrates are produced for 90% or more from the oxidation of a single parent alkane, short-chain (97% sequence similarity. These were designated operational taxonomic unit 1 (OTU1), OTU2, and OTU3. Similarly, the nifH sequences fell into three distinct subclusters named S1, S2, and S3. When either bulk samples or individual filaments were analyzed, we recovered OTU1 with S1, OTU2 with S2, and OTU3 with S3. The coherence between the three SSU rRNA gene and nifH subclusters was consistent with genetically distinct strains or species. Cells associated with subclusters OTU3 and S3 were significantly wider and longer than those associated with other subclusters. The combined molecular and morphological data indicate that the species commonly identified as L. wollei in the literature represents two or possibly more species. Springs containing OTU3 and S3 demonstrated lower ion concentrations than other collection sites. Geographical locations of Lyngbya subclusters did not correlate with residual dissolved inorganic nitrogen or phosphorus concentrations. This study emphasizes the need to complement traditional identification with molecular characterization to more definitively detect and characterize harmful cyanobacterial species or strains.

The southerlies are minimal during boreal spring, when two precipitation maxima straddle the equator. Fourteen atmosphere-ocean coupled GCMs from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP3) and one coupled regional model are evaluated against observations with simple metrics that diagnose the seasonal cycle and meridional migration of warm SST and rain. Intermodel correlations of the metrics elucidate common coupled physics. These models variously simulate the climatology of SST and ITCZ rain. In 8 out of 15 models the ITCZ alternates symmetrically between the hemispheres with the seasons. This seasonally alternating ITCZ error generates two wind speed maxima per year-one northerly and one southerly-resulting in spurious cooling in March and a cool SST error of the equatorial ocean. Most models have too much rain in the Southern Hemisphere so that SST and rain are too symmetric about the equator in the annual mean. Weak meridional wind on the equator near the South American coast (2 degree S-2 degree N, 80 degree -90 degree W) explains the warm SST error there. Northeasterly wind jets blow over the Central American isthmus in winter and cool the SST in the eastern Pacific warm pool. In some models the strength of these winds contributes to the early demise of their northern ITCZ relative to observations. The February-April northerly wind bias on the equator is correlated to the antecedent December-February Central American Pacific wind speed at -0.88. The representation of southern-tropical stratus clouds affects the underlying SST through solar radiation, but its effect on the meridional atmospheric circulation is difficult to discern from the multimodel ensemble, indicating that errors other than the simulation of stratus clouds are also important for accurate simulation of the meridional asymmetry. This study identifies several features to be improved in atmospheric and coupled GCMs, including the northeasterly cross-Central American wind in winter and meridional wind on the equator. Improved simulation of the seasonal cycle of meridional wind could alleviate biases in equatorial SST and improve simulation of ENSO and its teleconnections.

AN - 20928205; 8318942 AB - The transport of eel early life stages may be critical to their population dynamics. This transport from ocean spawning to freshwater, estuarine and coastal nursery areas is a combination of physical and biological processes (including swimming behavior). In New Jersey, USA, the American eel (Anguilla rostrata) enters estuaries as glass eels (48.7-68.1 mm TL) in contrast to the Conger eel (Conger oceanicus) that enters as larger (metamorphosing) leptocephali (68.3-117.8 mm TL). To begin to understand the mechanisms of cross-shelf transport for these species, we measured the potential swimming capability (critical swimming speed, U sub(crit)) under ambient conditions throughout the ingress season. A. rostrata glass eels were collected over many months (January-June) at a range of temperatures (4-21 degree C), with relative condition declining over the course of the ingress period as temperatures warmed. C. oceanicus occurred later in the season (April-June) and at warmer temperatures (14-24.5 degree C). Mean U sub(crit) values for A. rostrata (11.7-13.3 cm s super(-1)) and C. oceanicus (14.7-18.6 cm s super(-1)) were comparable, but variable, with portions of the variability explained by water temperature, relative condition, ontogenetic stage, and fish length. Travel times to Little Egg Inlet, New Jersey, estimated using 50% U sub(crit) values, indicate it would take A. rostrata similar to 30 and similar to 60 days to swim from the shelf edge and Gulf Stream, respectively. Travel times for C. oceanicus were shorter, similar to 20 days from the shelf edge, and similar to 45 days from the Gulf Stream. Despite differences in life stage, our results indicate both species are competent swimmers, and suggest they are capable of swimming from the Gulf Stream and/or edge of the continental shelf to estuarine inlets.

Traditionally, the model-predicted pollutant concentrations are evaluated for the ''base case'' to assess a model's ability to reproduce past observations. Dynamic evaluation approaches, which evaluate a model's ability to accurately simulate air quality changes from given changes in emissions, are critically important to regulatory applications. Here, we investigate approaches to evaluate the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model's predicted ozone (O sub(3)) response to large NO sub(x) emission reductions associated with the NO sub(x) State Implementation Plan (SIP) Call and on-road mobile emissions. This case has the advantages that emission changes associated with the NO sub(x) SIP Call can be well characterized and substantial changes are observed in O sub(3) levels. To consider the modeled response to emission changes in light of the strong meteorological influences on O sub(3), two time periods after the NO sub(x) SIP Call are included with very different meteorological conditions. The sensitivity to chemical mechanisms is also considered by including simulations with the CB4, SAPRC, and CB05 chemical mechanisms. The evaluation results suggest that the air quality model predictions underestimate the O sub(3) reductions observed after the NO sub(x) SIP Call was implemented. While the emission estimate uncertainties may also be a factor, the results suggest that the contribution of long-range transport of O sub(3) and precursors is underpredicted, especially when using the CB4 chemical mechanism. Further investigation of the chemical mechanisms' ability to characterize tropospheric chemistry aloft is recommended.

Multiple mesoscale models were used, including the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS), and fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University-National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5). Short-range (6 h) quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPFs) and probabilistic QPFs (PQPFs) were compared to the 4-km NCEP stage IV precipitation analyses for archived intensive operation periods (IOPs). The two sets of ensemble runs (operational and rerun forecasts) were examined to evaluate the quality of high-resolution QPFs produced by time-lagged multimodel ensembles and to investigate the impacts of ensemble configurations on forecast skill. Uncertainties in precipitation forecasts were associated with different models, model physics, and initial and boundary conditions. The diabatic initialization by the Local Analysis and Prediction System (LAPS) helped precipitation forecasts, while the selection of microphysics was critical in ensemble design. Probability biases in the ensemble products were addressed by calibrating PQPFs. Using artificial neural network (ANN) and linear regression (LR) methods, the bias correction of PQPFs and a cross-validation procedure were applied to three operational IOPs and four rerun IOPs. Both the ANN and LR methods effectively improved PQPFs, especially for lower thresholds. The LR method outperformed the ANN method in bias correction, in particular for a smaller training data size. More training data (e.g., one-season forecasts) are desirable to test the robustness of both calibration methods.

Two coastal sites in northern California were revisited in the winter of 2003/04 in this study, which extends the earlier work by augmenting the profiling radar observations with collocated raindrop disdrometers to measure drop size distributions (DSD) at the surface. The disdrometer observations are analyzed for more than 320 h of nonconvective rainfall. The new measurements confirm the earlier inferences that NBB rainfall periods are characterized by greater concentrations of small drops and smaller concentrations of large drops than BB periods. Compared with their BB counterparts, NBB periods had mean values that were 40% smaller for mean-volume diameter, 32% smaller for rain intensity, 87% larger for total drop concentration, and 81% larger (steeper) for slope of the exponential DSDs. The differences are statistically significant. Liquid water contents differ very little, however, for the two rain types. Disdrometer-based relations between radar reflectivity (Z) and rainfall intensity (R) at the site in the Coast Range Mountains were Z = 168R1.58 for BB periods and Z = 44R1.91 for NBB. The much lower coefficient, which is characteristic of NBB rainfall, is poorly represented by the Z-R equations most commonly applied to data from the operational network of Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) units, which underestimate rain accumulations by a factor of 2 or more when applied to nonconvective NBB situations. Based on the observed DSDs, it is also concluded that polarimetric scanning radars may have some limited ability to distinguish between regions of BB and NBB rainfall using differential reflectivity. However, differential-phase estimations of rain intensity are not useful for NBB rain, because the drops are too small and nearly spherical. On average, the profiler-measured echo tops were 3.2 km lower in NBB periods than during BB periods, and they extended only about 1 km above the 0 degree C altitude. The findings are consistent with the concept that precipitation processes during BB periods are dominated by ice processes in deep cloud layers associated with synoptic-scale forcing, whereas the more restrained growth of hydrometeors in NBB periods is primarily the result of orographically forced condensation and coalescence processes in much shallower clouds.

Behavioral syndromes can lead to the unintentional alteration of a wide range of behavioral traits of hatchery fish if unintentional selection on one behavior leads to selection on a correlated behavior. Specifically, this study used brown rockfish, Sebastes auriculatus, to test the hypothesis that a fish that feeds at high rates in the absence of a predator also takes more risks when a predator is present, and that through such a correlation, unintentional hatchery selection for high feeding rates may also lead to changes in risk taking behavior (here defined as behavior that increases predation risk). Behavioral syndromes were found-feeding behavior in the absence of a predator tended to correlate positively with both feeding behavior in the presence of a predator model and time near the model. These syndromes were stable through time-that is, the same correlations appeared 10 days later when the behavioral assays were repeated. However individual behavior was inconsistent (plastic). A fish could both feed and take risks at high rates on Day 1, but then both feed and take risks at low rates on Day 10. Thus, while behavioral syndromes were stable (i.e. present in both rounds 1 and 2), individuals were plastic in their behavior (i.e. inconsistent between rounds 1 and 2). After 16 weeks of hatchery rearing, neither growth nor survival were predicted by behavior. It is suggested that the behavioral plasticity within individuals through time makes consistent selection for strong feeders less likely, and that species with more plastic behavior may be less susceptible to unintentional selection on behavioral syndromes than species with behavior that is more fixed.

The model runs show that the climate response to the AWP's heating extends beyond the AWP region to other regions such as the eastern North Pacific. Both the sea level pressure and precipitation display a significant response of low (high) pressure and increased (decreased) rainfall to an anomalously large (small) AWP, in areas with two centers located in the western tropical North Atlantic and in the eastern North Pacific. The rainfall response suggests that an anomalously large (small) AWP suppresses (enhances) the midsummer drought, a phenomenon with a diminution in rainfall during July and August in the region around Central America. In response to the pressure changes, the easterly Caribbean low-level jet is weakened (strengthened), as is its westward moisture transport. An anomalously large (small) AWP weakens (strengthens) the southerly Great Plains low-level jet, which results in reduced (enhanced) northward moisture transport from the Gulf of Mexico to the United States east of the Rocky Mountains and thus decreases (increases) the summer rainfall over the central United States, in agreement with observations. An anomalously large (small) AWP also reduces (enhances) the tropospheric vertical wind shear in the main hurricane development region and increases (decreases) the moist static instability of the troposphere, both of which favor (disfavor) the intensification of tropical storms into major hurricanes. Since the climate response to the North Atlantic SST anomalies is primarily forced at low latitudes, this study implies that reduced (enhanced) rainfall over North America and increased (decreased) hurricane activity due to the warm (cool) phase of the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation may be partly due to the AWP-induced changes of the northward moisture transport and the vertical wind shear and moist static instability associated with more frequent large (small) summer warm pools.

The west Florida shelf was divided into two regions: north (capture locations >=28 super(o)N latitude) and south (capture locations <28 super(o)N latitude). Significant differences were found for age, length, and size-at-age by region and by gear; red grouper from the north were significantly younger and smaller on average than those from the south. Regional differences were also noted with respect to age progression; year class trends were only detected in the north. The 1996 year class dominated the landings in 2000-2001 (ages 4 and 5) and the 1999 year class dominated in 2004-2005 (ages 5 and 6). Regional data were fit to a size-modified von Bertalanffy growth model indicating smaller asymptotic length (L sub( times )) and faster growth rate (k) in the north (north: L sub( times )=800mm, k=0.23mmyear super(-) super(1), t sub(0)=1.12; south: L sub( times )=863mm, k=0.15mmyear super(-) super(1), t sub(0)=0.05). Mortality estimates derived from catch curves resulted in higher total and fishing mortality in the north for both gears. Alternative explanations of regional differences likely depend on nursery delineation and correlation to periodic environmental events such as red tides and hurricanes; all possibly important factors based upon anecdotal information. Nevertheless, our finding of regional demographic differences in red grouper from the west coast of Florida suggests a more complex population spatial structure for red grouper.

Although the elasticity and strength of silks make them attractive candidates for bone, ligament, and cartilage tissue engineering applications, silk proteins generally lack bioactive peptides for enhancing cell functions. Thus, a synthetic spider silk, spidroin, containing two RGD cell adhesive sequences (RGD-spidroin) was engineered. RGD-spidroin was blended with different ratios of fibroin and spun coat into films on glass coverslips. beta -Sheet formation, contact angle, surface topography and RGD surface presentation were characterized and correlated with cell behavior. We found that the amount of beta -sheet formation was directly related to the RGD-spidroin content of the blends after annealing, with the pure RGD-spidroin demonstrating the highest amount of beta -sheet content. The increased beta -sheet content improved film stability under culture conditions. A new visualization technique demonstrated that the RGD presentation on the film surface was affected by both the RGD-spidroin content and annealing conditions. It was determined that 10mass% RGD-spidroin was necessary to improve film stability and to achieve osteoblast attachment and differentiation.

To illustrate this, three separate kinds of terrain complexity are addressed here: 1) a horizontal landscape with patches of forest, 2) a uniformly vegetated gentle hill, and 3) a mountainous area. In flat areas with plots of trees, the elevation of the standard area-weighted dry deposition velocity will likely depend on the product hn1/2, where h is the tree height and n is the number of plots per unit area. For the second case, it is proposed that the standard 'flat earth' deposition velocity might need to be increased by a factor like [1 + Ra/(Rb + Rc)]1/2. For mountainous ecosystems, where no precise estimate of local dry deposition appears attainable, the actual dry deposition rate is probably bounded by the extremes associated with 1) the flat earth assumption involving aerodynamic, quasi-boundary layer, and canopy resistances as in conventional formulations, and 2) an alternative assumption that the aerodynamic resistance is zero. Such issues are of particular importance in the context of atmospheric loadings to sensitive ecosystems, where the concepts of critical loads and deposition forecasting are now of increasing relevance. They are probably of less importance if the emphasis is on air quality alone, because air quality responds slowly to changes in deposition rates. The issues addressed here are mainly appropriate in the context of air surface exchange that is not controlled by surface resistance (e.g., for deposition of easily captured chemicals such as nitric acid vapor, and perhaps for atmospheric momentum) and for chemicals that have no local sources. It is argued that dry deposition rates derived from classical applications of deposition velocities are often underestimates.

However, the factors that determine their spawning age still remain uncertain. Evidence from recent studies suggests that individual growth and reproduction of Chinook salmon are affected by the rate of coastal upwelling, which is shown to be positively autocorrelated between years. Therefore, the serially autocorrelated environmental is expected to play an important role in determining their spawning age. In the present study, I demonstrate the advantage of an indeterminate maturation strategy under a stochastic environment. I then present theoretical evidence for the advantage of adjusting the maturation probability based on the environment they experienced and demonstrate that fisheries reduce the fitness of the strategy to delay maturation. The results presented herein emphasize the importance of incorporating detailed life-history strategies of organisms when undertaking population management.

Improvement in upstream fish passage efficiency may occur with placement of structures within culverts that increase hydraulic complexity and provide resting areas. The effects of structural modification on downstream migrants, however, are unknown. To address this gap in knowledge, the behaviour of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) smolts was assessed in an experimental laboratory flume. Under light and dark conditions, fish were observed as they encountered either an unmodified aluminium channel (control) or one of two treatments: an intermediate substrate (treatment channel lined with corrugated sheet) or a complex substrate (addition of cobbles to the intermediate treatment). More smolts passed the control channel than the treatment channels. Even with control of the variation in flow between channels, under light conditions more fish than expected passed the control channel when paired with the complex treatment. Smolts more frequently rejected both treatments than the control channel when light, and the complex treatment when dark, by swimming upstream against the flow after entry. The majority of fish moved through the flume facing downstream, although a greater proportion faced upstream when dark than when light, and entered the control channel. Velocity of downstream movement (ground velocity) was greater through the control channel than for the treatment routes, and slower than the mean water velocity, and under the dark condition. When mean water velocities were taken into account, the net velocity through the control channel was not significantly different to the intermediate, and lower than the complex channel. Juvenile Chinook salmon determined fine-scale variation in structural complexity and exhibited avoidance behaviour in the presence and absence of visual stimuli. Hydraulic stimuli influenced route selection exhibited by migratory juvenile salmonids.

Models that explicitly simulate hurricanes are needed to study the influence of warming ocean temperatures on Atlantic hurricane activity, complementing empirical approaches. Our regional climate model of the Atlantic basin reproduces the observed rise in hurricane counts between 1980 and 2006, along with much of the interannual variability, when forced with observed sea surface temperatures and atmospheric conditions super(7). Here we assess, in our model system super(7), the changes in large-scale climate that are projected to occur by the end of the twenty-first century by an ensemble of global climate models super(8), and find that Atlantic hurricane and tropical storm frequencies are reduced. At the same time, near-storm rainfall rates increase substantially. Our results do not support the notion of large increasing trends in either tropical storm or hurricane frequency driven by increases in atmospheric greenhouse-gas concentrations.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Marine mammals as ecosystem sentinels AN - 20190294; 8697472 AB - The earth's climate is changing, possibly at an unprecedented rate. Overall, the planet is warming, sea ice and glaciers are in retreat, sea level is rising, and pollutants are accumulating in the environment and within organisms. These clear physical changes undoubtedly affect marine ecosystems. Species dependent on sea ice, such as the polar bear (Ursus maritimus) and the ringed seal (Phoca hispida), provide the clearest examples of sensitivity to climate change. Responses of cetaceans to climate change are more difficult to discern, but in the eastern North Pacific evidence is emerging that gray whales (Eschrichtius robustus) are delaying their southbound migration, expanding their feeding range along the migration route and northward to Arctic waters, and even remaining in polar waters over winter-all indications that North Pacific and Arctic ecosystems are in transition. To use marine mammals as sentinels of ecosystem change, we must expand our existing research strategies to encompass the decadal and ocean-basin temporal and spatial scales consistent with their natural histories.

We reviewed published evaluations of stream rehabilitation techniques from throughout the world, including studies on road improvement, riparian rehabilitation, floodplain connectivity and rehabilitation, instream habitat improvement, nutrient addition, and other, less-common techniques. We summarize current knowledge about the effectiveness of these techniques for improving physical habitat and water quality and increasing fish and biotic production. Despite locating 345 studies on effectiveness of stream rehabilitation, firm conclusions about many specific techniques were difficult to make because of the limited information provided on physical habitat, water quality, and biota and because of the short duration and limited scope of most published evaluations. Reconnection of isolated habitats, floodplain rehabilitation, and instream habitat improvement have, however, proven effective for improving habitat and increasing local fish abundance under many circumstances. Techniques such as riparian rehabilitation, road improvements (sediment reduction), dam removal, and restoration of natural flood regimes have shown promise for restoring natural processes that create and maintain habitats, but no long-term studies documenting their success have yet been published. Our review demonstrates that the failure of many rehabilitation projects to achieve objectives is attributable to inadequate assessment of historic conditions and factors limiting biotic production; poor understanding of watershed-scale processes that influence localized projects; and monitoring at inappropriate spatial and temporal scales. We suggest an interim approach to sequencing rehabilitation projects that partially addresses these needs through protecting high-quality habitats and restoring connectivity and watershed processes before implementing instream habitat improvement projects.

Optimal Study Design for Monitoring Fish Response to Watershed Restoration AN - 19651477; 8566761 AB - Every year in the Pacific Northwest, hundreds of stream restoration projects are implemented at great expense in the hope that they will increase salmonid abundance. Our understanding of how salmonids interact with their freshwater habitat has steadily improved, but we are still a long way from being able to reliably predict population-level effects of individual projects. To determine whether these projects are in fact increasing salmonid abundance, we will need to implement restoration at the watershed scale, monitor the populations after the freshwater portion of their life history is completed, and replicate the experiment across multiple watersheds to produce results that can be generalized. Although there has been some progress in this direction, it has largely consisted of independent efforts at a relatively small scale. In this paper, we use smolt counts of coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch from streams in western Washington and Oregon, along with approximate restoration and monitoring costs, to estimate the most cost- effective way of allocating monitoring effort between years and watersheds to allow detection of an average response to watershed-scale restoration. We show that it is generally preferable to spread the available effort across more watershed pairs, unless the one-time cost of adding a watershed pair is very high (e.g., when the cost of restoration is included). These results are sensitive to plausible changes in temporal and spatial variability and may change with different assumptions about response type, but they are derived using a logical, transparent process that incorporates available information.

Less frequently examined has been the use of these structures by adult salmonids. In 2004, spawner densities and redd counts of coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch in seven Oregon streams were compared between 10 reach pairs: reaches with artificially placed boulder weir structures (treatment) and reaches without weirs (control). In addition, based on annual spawner survey data collected from 2001 to 2005, redd density of steelhead O. mykiss and spawner and redd densities of coho salmon were examined to assess differences among main-stem reaches with boulder weirs, main-stem reaches without weirs, and tributary reaches without weirs throughout one basin (West Fork of the Smith River [WFS]). Numbers of coho salmon spawners and peak redd counts were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in treatment reaches than in control reaches in the first study. In contrast, no differences existed in coho salmon spawner counts or steelhead redd counts among reaches within WFS. Coho salmon redd densities differed significantly among the three reach types in WFS; redd densities in tributary reaches were higher than those in main-stem reaches either with or without boulder weirs. Both spawner density and redd density were positively correlated with percent gravel. Results from these two related studies suggest that the placement of boulder weirs in bedrock channels leads to localized increases in spawner abundance, although other factors (e.g., amount of spawning area or gravel) appear to influence coho salmon and steelhead spawner abundance and redd construction at a watershed scale. This also suggests that gravel sources are an important factor to consider when placing boulder weirs or other instream structures designed to improve spawning habitat.

Distinguishing between these questions helps clarify the restoration planning process, which has four distinct steps: (1) identify the restoration goal, (2) select a project prioritization approach that is consistent with the goal, (3) use watershed assessments to identify restoration actions, and (4) prioritize the list of actions. A well-crafted restoration goal identifies the biological objective of restoration, addresses underlying causes of habitat change, and recognizes that social, economic, and land use objectives may constrain restoration options. Once restoration goals are identified, one of six general approaches can be selected for prioritizing restoration actions: project type, refugia, decision support systems, single-species analysis, multispecies analysis, and cost effectiveness. Prioritizing by project type, refugia, or a decision support system requires the least quantitative information, and each approach is relatively easy to use. Single-species, multispecies, and cost effectiveness approaches require more information and effort but often most directly address legal requirements. Watershed assessments provide most of the information used to identify and prioritize actions and should be explicitly and carefully designed to support the goals and prioritization scheme. Watershed assessments identify causes of habitat degradation, habitat losses with the greatest effect on biota and ecosystems, and local land and water uses that may limit restoration opportunities. Results of assessments are translated into suites of restoration options, and analysis of land use and economic constraints helps to evaluate the feasibility of various options. Finally, actions are prioritized based on assessment results and the selected prioritization scheme. In general, we recommend the use of simple decision support systems for cases in which watershed assessments provide incomplete information; the cost effectiveness approach is recommended for cases in which watershed assessments identify (1) restoration actions needed to restore riverine habitats, (2) biological benefits associated with each action, and (3) costs of restoration actions.

As part of an effort to add ecological considerations into stock assessments, we evaluate the consumptive demand of the skate species in the northeast U.S. Continental Shelf ecosystem. Using food habits data and abundance indices from bottom trawl surveys, we calculate the per capita consumption, total scaled (by population size) consumption, and total consumptive removals of select prey by seven species of skates. We also sum these estimates for all seven skates and compare this consumptive demand with broader ecosystem biomass fluxes. Our results demonstrate that estimates of skate abundance have a notable impact on total consumptive removals. Total consumption by all skates is a small biomass flux relative to the total system, yet removals of certain prey by skates can be at or exceed the magnitude of fisheries for those prey species.

It starts with fluctuations in the oceanic overturning around Antarctica that release CO sub(2) up to the atmosphere or trap it in the deep ocean. Every 50,000 years one of these fluctuations coincides with a changeover in the burial of CaCO sub(3) in the deep ocean. The changeover alters the atmospheric pCO sub(2) in a way that augments the tendency of the overturning. The augmented overturning then enhances the tendency of the CaCO sub(3) burial, which augments the overturning, etc. In this way, an individual random fluctuation becomes one of the big transitions seen in the Antarctic ice cores. Alternating transitions toward the warm and cold states every 50,000 years produce the 100,000-year timescale. The 50,000-year time interval is set by the turnover time for CO sub(3) super(=) ions in the ocean with respect to the CO sub(2)-induced weathering of silicate rocks and the burial of CaCO sub(3) on the seafloor.

In general, the datasets show a strong agreement with each other at seasonal timescale. In particular, over the Amazon and the Ganges basins, analysis of seasonal phase differences and hysteresis behavior between surface water extent, water level and storage reveal the complex relations between water extent and storage variations and the different effects of water transport processes within large river basins. The results highlight the value of combining multi-satellite techniques for retrieving surface water storage dynamics.

Large declines in DO (up to 2.1 mu mol/kg/y) have been observed throughout the domain, with the largest relative DO declines occurring below the thermocline (mean decrease of 21% at 300 m). Linear trends were significant (p < 0.05) at the majority of stations down to 500 m. The hypoxic boundary (60 mu mol/kg) has shoaled by up to 90 m within portions of the southern CCS. The observed trends are consistent with advection of low-DO waters into the region, as well as decreased vertical oxygen transport following near-surface warming and increased stratification. Expansion of the oxygen minimum layer could lead to cascading effects on benthic and pelagic ecosystems, including habitat compression and community reorganization.

AN - 36416281; 13457 AB - PURPOSE: Measures to restore coral reef habitat in the Gulf of Mexico waters of the National Marine Sanctuary System are described and assessed. From an ecological perspective, coral reefs serve as habitat and a source of food for numerous species of plants and animals, including federally protected fish and shellfish species. In turn, the viability of the recreational and commercial fishing sectors depends on healthy reef communities. Reefs also function as storm barriers and associated seagrass beds and mangroves serve as natural filters to reduce sediment levels in seawater. The sanctuaries intended to benefit from these measures would include the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (NMS) and the Flower Garden Banks NMS. The former, located seaward of the Florida Keys, is one of the largest bank-barrier reef systems in the world. Ranging in depth from just below the surface to a meters, the reef extends 356 kilometers from Miami to the Tortugas region. Flower Garden Banks NMS, located 70 to 110 miles of the coasts of Texas and Louisiana, constitutes the northernmost coral banks in the United States and serves as a reservoir of shallow water Caribbean reef fishes and invertebrates. The Banks are surface expressions of salt domes dating back to 170 million years ago. The sanctuaries are premier recreational destinations and support significant commercial fisheries. This programmatic EIS process addresses the current technologies available for effective restoration of coral to provide a basis for the selection and implementation of action when necessary. Techniques considered in this draft EIS include debris removal, sediment removal, substrate stabilization, placement of boulders and modules, placement of revetment mats, and reattachment and transplantation of coral. In many cases, a combination of techniques may be employed for a single restoration effort. The program would not cover restoration techniques for injuries to coral resulting from oil spills or hazardous substance releases. The proposing agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, does not typically undertake coral restoration after major storm events such as hurricanes, with the exception of removal of grounded or abandoned vessels and marine debris such as lobster or stone crab traps. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In the long-term, the selected techniques would re-establish natural coral reef habitat, which is essential to the maintenance of homeostasis within the world marine ecosystem. Restoration of coral reefs helps reduce the cumulative impacts of vessel grounds and other physical impacts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The critical ecological and economic functions of coral communities would be protected, enhanced, and expanded.

13265828 AB - Responses of ozone and PM2.5 to emission changes are coupled because of interactions between their precursors. Here we show the interdependencies of ozone and PM2.5 responses to emission changes in 2001 and 2050, with the future case accounting for both currently planned emission controls and climate change. Current responses of ozone and PM2.5 to emissions are quantified and linked on a daily basis for five cities in the continental United States: Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, and New York. Reductions in anthropogenic NOx emissions decrease 24-h average PM2.5 levels but may either increase or decrease daily maximum 8-h average ozone levels. Regional ozone maxima for all the cities are more sensitive to NOx reductions than at the city center, particularly in New York and Chicago. Planned controls of anthropogenic NOx emissions lead to more positive responses to NOx reductions in the future. Sensitivities of ozone and PM2.5 to anthropogenic VOC emissions are predicted to decrease between 2001 and 2050. Ammonium nitrate formation is predicted to be less ammonia-sensitive in 2050 than 2001 while the opposite is true for ammonium sulfate. Sensitivity of PM2.5 to SO2 and NOx emissions changes little between 2001 and 2050. Both ammonium sulfate and ammonium nitrate are predicted to decrease in sensitivity to SO2 and NOx emissions between 2001 and 2050. The complexities, linkages, and daily changes in the pollutant responses to emission changes suggest that strategies developed to meet specific air quality standards should consider other air quality impacts as well.

This 300-m tower, although originally supporting the development and improvement of ground-based remote sensing devices, has been used extensively in the study of the atmospheric boundary layer as well as plume dispersion and air quality. It was used in studies of the Denver Brown Cloud during the winters of 1987-1988 and 1996-1997. Located about 20 km east from the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, it is subject to a wide range of weather conditions ranging from night-time drainage winds with a low-level jet structure, to down-slope wind storms and upslope snow storms. During the summer of 2007, three levels of CO2 and CO gas sampling (at 22, 100, and 300 m) were added as the tower became part of the NOAA ESRL/Global Monitoring Division CO2 tall-tower network. The tower's location in complex terrain and its proximity to urban areas will provide a number of challenges in the interpretation of the data it provides. In this paper, we will describe some of the history of the tower in past air quality studies, examples of its complex meteorological setting and initial examples comparing diurnal variation in CO2 and CO with boundary layer depths and structure observed with an acoustic sounder.

AN - 21069190; 10973315 AB - The fine temporal and spatial resolution of Doppler lidar observations has been highly effective in the study of wind and turbulence dynamic in the nocturnal boundary layer during Lamar Low-Level Project in 2003. The High-Resolution Doppler Lidar (HRDL), designed and developed at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL), measures range-resolved profiles of line-of sight (LOS) Doppler velocity and aerosol backscatter with a pulse repetition frequency of 200 Hz, velocity precision about 10 cm s-1, and a very narrow beam width. The majority of the lidar-measured wind speed and variance profiles were derived using a vertical-scan mode and the application of a vertical binning technique. The profile data were used to calculate quantities important for wind energy applications, including turbulence intensity, wind and directional shear through the layer of the turbine rotor. Profiles of all quantities show a strong variation with height. The mean wind fields, the turbulence, and turbulence intensities show a good agreement with sonic anemometer sodar high confidence (high SNR) measurements. The ability of HRDL to provide continuous information about wind and turbulence conditions at the turbine height and above the range of the tower measurements made HRDL as a powerful instrument for studies of the nighttime boundary layer features. Such information is needed as turbine rotors continue to rise higher into the boundary layer.

The acceleration of the LLJ after sunset produces an enhancement of the wind speed over daytime values, and provides a dependable resource for wind energy. On the negative side, occasional bursts of strong turbulence may be generated that can be of just the right frequency to excite strong oscillatory response in the turbine rotors, thereby accelerating the fatigue of the rotor parts. High resolution Doppler lidar has been used in two studies of the LLJ over the U.S. Great Plains. In this paper we show the usefulness of this remote sensing tool in documenting the mean and turbulent vertical structure, and the evolution of these vertical structures through entire nights. This leads to implications about potential usefulness of Doppler lidar in monitoring mean winds and turbulence in real time to aid in turbine operations.

therefore, it is important to make analyses of these data as accurate as possible. Analysis uncertainty occurs because of data errors and incomplete sampling over the historical period. This manuscript documents recent improvements in NOAA's merged global surface temperature anomaly analysis, monthly, in spatial 5° grid boxes. These improvements allow better analysis of temperatures throughout the record, with the greatest improvements in the late nineteenth century and since 1985. Improvements in the late nineteenth century are due to improved tuning of the analysis methods. Beginning in 1985, improvements are due to the inclusion of bias-adjusted satellite data. The old analysis (version 2) was documented in 2005, and this improved analysis is called version 3.

AN - 742774677; pmid-18529165 AB - When a "massless" one-dimensional sound pulse (mass of a sound pulse is defined as an integral of the perturbation of density over the pulse length) reflects from a pressure-release boundary, its momentum changes sign. This obviously violates momentum conservation. However, in contrast to the case of an unbounded medium, calculation of the momentum in a bounded region includes a second-order term as well. Apparently, the second-order correction to the linear solution ensures momentum conservation in this case. The purpose of this Letter is to find a concrete form of this second-order correction. It appears that, as a result of the nonlinear interaction of the pulse with a pressure-release boundary, the latter experiences second-order net shift. This leads to the generation of a massive second-order rarefaction pulse whose momentum is directed opposite to the direction of propagation of the pulse itself. Appearance of this pulse ensures total momentum conservation.

AN - 71648116; 18386939 AB - It is important to develop rapid and reliable processes to monitor the decontamination of toxins released to the environment. The inactivation of the protein toxin ricin by the disinfectants bleach (sodium hypochlorite) and monochloramine was measured by the effect on mammalian cell cytotoxicity. The effect of the disinfectants on the native fluorescence (due mainly to tryptophan and to a lesser extent tyrosine) of ricin was also measured in parallel. Reactions of the disinfectants resulted in a decrease in the native fluorescence that was measured in real time in a noninvasive manner. We compared the inactivation of two well-characterized model enzymes to the behavior of ricin. The model enzymes studied were lysozyme, a small basic enzyme stabilized with internal disulfide bonds, and heart-muscle-type lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), a large protein composed of four subunits. The biological activities of the model enzymes were measured in parallel with their fluorescence. Gel electrophoresis showed a large number of modifications of the proteins caused by the disinfectants reflected in changes in mobility and the formation of higher-order aggregates. Size-exclusion chromatography showed that the disinfectants did not break down the subunit structure of ricin but instead resulted in an increased size and heterogeneity of the protein. Size-exclusion chromatography of LDH indicated that the subunits were dissociated and that higher-order aggregates were also formed. Bleach caused a rapid inactivation of biological activity correlated with a rapid decrease in the fluorescence. Monochloramine required much higher concentrations for significant effects and the kinetics of the reactions were slow, with half-life values of the decrease on the order of minutes. Each protein showed individual differences in responses to the disinfectants, but there was a consistent correlation between the loss of fluorescence and the decrease in biological activity. These results indicate that the monitoring the fluorescence is a useful process with limitations that can be used to monitor the inactivation of toxins using disinfectants.

AN - 69144976; 18437616 AB - This study examined the toxicity of two pesticides (carbaryl and diquat dibromide) and one polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (fluoranthene), both singly and in mixture, to grass shrimp larvae (Palaemonetes pugio). These three chemicals are all present in coastal environments and can easily enter estuarine ecosystems. Fluoranthene was the most toxic chemical with a 96-h LC50 value of 32.45 microg/L, followed by carbaryl (43.02 microg/L) and diquat dibromide (1624 microg/L). In the chemical mixture tests, the binary carbaryl/diquat dibromide mixture and the ternary carbaryl/diquat dibromide/fluoranthene mixture had additive results.

Almost one third of fathers who reported multiple-partner fertility did so across a series of nonmarital relationships, and nonmarital-only multiple-partner fertility has been increasing across recent cohorts of men. Being older, having a first sexual experience or a first child at a young age, and fathering a child outside of marriage or cohabitation are associated with greater odds of multiple-partner fertility, whereas having additional children with the first birth mother is associated with reduced odds. Black, Hispanic, and young fathers have especially high odds of experiencing multiple-partner fertility across a series of nonmarital relationships.

[Part 2 of 4] T2 - PROPOSED AUTHORIZATION OF THE MAKAH INDIAN TRIBES REQUEST TO HUNT GRAY WHALES IN THE TRIBES USUAL AND ACCUSTOMED FISHING GROUNDS OFF THE COAST OF WASHINGTON STATE. AN - 36388377; 13409-080171_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The authorization of the resumption by the Makah Indian Tribe of limited hunting of eastern North Pacific gray whales in the coastal portion of the tribe's usual and accustomed fishing grounds (U&A) off the coast of Washington State is proposed to allow the tribe to meet its ceremonial and subsistence needs. The proposed authorization would require the waiver of a moratorium prohibiting the take of marine mammals under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), promulgate the associated regulations, and issue the necessary permits. The tribe's proposal stems from the 1855 Treaty of Neah Bay, which expressly secures the Makah Tribe's right to hunt whales. To exercise that right, the tribe seeks authorization from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Fisheries Service under the MMPA and the Whaling Convention Act. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would refuse the proposed authorization to the tribe, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action (Alternative 2) would allow the harvest of four gray whales per year on average, with a maximum of five in any one year, and up to 20 whales over a five-year period covered by the authorization. Hunting would be allowed in the tribe's U&A outside the Strait of Juan de Fuca from December 1 to May 31. Hunting would not be allowed within 200 yards of Tatoosh Island and White Rock. The number of whales that could be struck would be limited to no more than seven per year and o more than 35 over the five-year period, while the number of whales struck and lost would be limited to three annually and 15 over the five-year authorization period. The maximum number of whales allowed to be struck during any one year would be limited to seven, and the maximum number struck and lost would be limited to three. Alternative 3 would include the same area for the hunt as Alternative 2, but would eliminate seasonal and other restrictions on killing and landing whales. Alternative 4 would have the same conditions as Alternative 2, except that it would prohibit vessels associated with any Makah hunt from entering the 200-year exclusion zone that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has established around all rocks and islands comprising the Washington Islands National Wildlife Refuges. Alternative 5 would include the same hunting area as Alternative 2, but would eliminate seasonal restrictions and the restrictions on landing identified whales as well as imposing additional restrictions on the total number of whales harvested, struck, or struck and lost. Alternative 6 would follow the guidelines under Alternative 3,but the tribe could hunt throughout the entire U&A, including the Strait of Juan de Fuca and there would be no seasonal restrictions or harvest limitations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The authorization would allow the Makah to perpetuate its 1,500-year-old tradition of whale hunting, which extends from a 750 years of harvesting drifting and stranded whales. Whales would, once again, provide a source of food, oil, blubber, and other products. Whaling would also reinstate intangible cultural and religious benefits to the tribe and act as a central organizing feature of Makah society. Valuable data would be gathered on whale populations along the Northwest Pacific Coast. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Whales would be killed, but the population would not be threatened by the removal of the specified numbers of animals. Some residents would find the practice of whaling offensive.

[Part 3 of 4] T2 - PROPOSED AUTHORIZATION OF THE MAKAH INDIAN TRIBES REQUEST TO HUNT GRAY WHALES IN THE TRIBES USUAL AND ACCUSTOMED FISHING GROUNDS OFF THE COAST OF WASHINGTON STATE. AN - 36383055; 13409-080171_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The authorization of the resumption by the Makah Indian Tribe of limited hunting of eastern North Pacific gray whales in the coastal portion of the tribe's usual and accustomed fishing grounds (U&A) off the coast of Washington State is proposed to allow the tribe to meet its ceremonial and subsistence needs. The proposed authorization would require the waiver of a moratorium prohibiting the take of marine mammals under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), promulgate the associated regulations, and issue the necessary permits. The tribe's proposal stems from the 1855 Treaty of Neah Bay, which expressly secures the Makah Tribe's right to hunt whales. To exercise that right, the tribe seeks authorization from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Fisheries Service under the MMPA and the Whaling Convention Act. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would refuse the proposed authorization to the tribe, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action (Alternative 2) would allow the harvest of four gray whales per year on average, with a maximum of five in any one year, and up to 20 whales over a five-year period covered by the authorization. Hunting would be allowed in the tribe's U&A outside the Strait of Juan de Fuca from December 1 to May 31. Hunting would not be allowed within 200 yards of Tatoosh Island and White Rock. The number of whales that could be struck would be limited to no more than seven per year and o more than 35 over the five-year period, while the number of whales struck and lost would be limited to three annually and 15 over the five-year authorization period. The maximum number of whales allowed to be struck during any one year would be limited to seven, and the maximum number struck and lost would be limited to three. Alternative 3 would include the same area for the hunt as Alternative 2, but would eliminate seasonal and other restrictions on killing and landing whales. Alternative 4 would have the same conditions as Alternative 2, except that it would prohibit vessels associated with any Makah hunt from entering the 200-year exclusion zone that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has established around all rocks and islands comprising the Washington Islands National Wildlife Refuges. Alternative 5 would include the same hunting area as Alternative 2, but would eliminate seasonal restrictions and the restrictions on landing identified whales as well as imposing additional restrictions on the total number of whales harvested, struck, or struck and lost. Alternative 6 would follow the guidelines under Alternative 3,but the tribe could hunt throughout the entire U&A, including the Strait of Juan de Fuca and there would be no seasonal restrictions or harvest limitations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The authorization would allow the Makah to perpetuate its 1,500-year-old tradition of whale hunting, which extends from a 750 years of harvesting drifting and stranded whales. Whales would, once again, provide a source of food, oil, blubber, and other products. Whaling would also reinstate intangible cultural and religious benefits to the tribe and act as a central organizing feature of Makah society. Valuable data would be gathered on whale populations along the Northwest Pacific Coast. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Whales would be killed, but the population would not be threatened by the removal of the specified numbers of animals. Some residents would find the practice of whaling offensive.

The size, complexity, and cost of full-scale fire tests make achieving accurate and quantitative results a serious challenge. A detailed uncertainty analysis of a large-scale heat release rate measurement facility is presented as a guide to the process of estimating the uncertainty of similar facilities. Quantitative heat release rate measurements of full-scale fires up to 2.7 MW were conducted using the principle of oxygen consumption calorimetry. Uncertainty estimates were also computed for the heat input measurements from a well-controlled natural gas burner. The measurements of heat input and heat release rate were performed independently, and the discrepancy between the two was well within the uncertainty limits. The propagation of uncertainty was performed at the level of voltage and temperature measurements, which avoided using mutually dependent measurement parameters. Reasons for the significant contribution to the combined uncertainty from the oxygen concentration and exhaust flow measurements are demonstrated. Also presented is a first-order effort to account for the uncertainty due to factors in full-scale fire tests such as operator error and environmental influences that are not modeled by the heat release rate equation.

Berman oil spill: Restoration projects for Puerto Rico AN - 21027655; 8271408 AB - The January 7, 1994, barge Morris J. Berman grounding and oil spill off Punta Escambron near San Juan Puerto Rico resulted in injury to natural resources along the shoreline and impaired their use for an extended time. Three major injury categories were pursued by the Trustees and the restoration projects for these injuries are presented in this paper. Including interest, approximately $10M in settlement funds are being used to fund 6 restoration projects. About $6 million of the settlement funds is being used for three projects to restore eolianite reef habitat, a type of fossilized sand dune, and other reef resources injured by the barge grounding and subsequent spill. One project, called the Condado Coral Trail project, will install artificial reef modules in the Condado Lagoon, approximately 1 mile southeast of the barge grounding site. Also in the Condado Lagoon, a 32-acre dredge hole will be brought back to historic elevations through beneficial use of dredged marine sediments. The third reef project entails acquisition of shoreline and coastal property which is intended to provide reef resource services comparable to those lost as a result of the oil spill and grounding. This parcel provides habitat for over 40 rare species of plants and animals including a major nesting beach for the endangered Leatherback Sea Turtle. The acquisition project also serves as the sole compensatory restoration project for lost recreational beach use. The parcel is being designating as a Puerto Rico Natural Reserve thereby allowing the public to use the land, including its unspoiled beaches, for recreational purposes. Finally, three restoration projects are being implemented to compensate for the lost historic visitor use services at the San Juan National Historic Site. More than 123,000 visitors to the El Morro and San Cristobal forts were affected by the spill for approximately six weeks. The first of the three projects includes Improving and Extending the Coastal Promenade, a walkway at the base of El Morro. The second is restoration of El Morro Water Battery and the third is cleaning and stabilizing certain exterior walls of the El Morro Fort. JF - 2008 INTERNATIONAL OIL SPILL CONFERENCE.

Planned by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in collaboration with U.S. Coast Guard, California Office of Spill Prevention and Response, Harley Marine Services, and the Department of the Interior, SS2006 was a multi-agency effort involving more than 40 organizations. Over 400 people participated in training, field operations, ocean observations, research, and incident command post activities. The exercise was quickly developed, with only four months between gaining the Funding and initiation of the tabletop and command post or functional exerise portions, with the full field exercise following 30 days later. The exercise scenario depicted a collision between a bulk freight cargo shin in-bound San Francisco Bay and an out-bound tug and barge. The barge sank as a result of the collision and oil spilled from both the barge and damaged cargo ship. Given the location of the collision, the spill had the potential to impact three national marine sanctuaries, five national parks, recreation areas, refuges, and monuments; along with the economic and ecological health of Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Cruz counties. The length of the exercise and eventual extent of the spills allowed Safe Seas to address a wide array of objectives, including testing notification protocols, coordination of resource trustees, establishing an extensive Incident Command Post, and evaluating the environmental tradeoffs associated with the use of dispersants and designating places of refuge. Safe Seas also had a strong emphasis on testing new technologies, deploying personnel, and fielding equipment. Equipment varied from the thousands of driftcards used to model portions of the floating oil, to the use of HF Radar and Acoustic Doppler Current Profiling (ADCP) equipment. SS2006 met its primary goals, building relationships across the public and private sectors, fostering long-term collaboration, demonstrating integration of human and technological capabilities and developing individual skills in program management, coordination, contingency planning, emergency response, health and safety.

The majority of the oil that stranded was deposited as heavy concentrations on coarse sediment beaches within a few tens of kilometers of the spill site. The shoreline cleanup operation focused on manual methods to minimize sediment removal and waste generation. Mechanical removal, dry mixing, or sediment relocation techniques were approved for eight locations where deeply-penetrated oil could not be effectively or efficiently removed by manual means. On several of the high-energy exposed beaches, the oil had penetrated or been buried to depths greater than 2 m, necessitating the excavation of considerable volumes of sediment to ensure that no untreated oil residues remained. One element of the Unified Command shoreline treatment oversight process required preparation and implementation of a monitoring and sampling plan. The plan included documentation of SCAT observations, surveyed beach profiles, photography, and mussel tissue chemistry. Evaluation of the data collected during the monitoring and sampling program showed that the relocation resulted in little adverse impact. Between 2005 and 2006, SCAT observations and photographs documented steady decreases in shoreline oiling, beach profiles were quickly restored by even modest storm events, and aromatic hydrocarbons in mussel tissues declined significantly. Although in situ treatment does not "clean" beaches, accelerating the weathering of the subsurface oil and decreasing the amount of oil remaining on the beaches ostensibly reduced the residence time of the oil and therefore, also reduced the exposure or risk to coastal birds and animals.

The Philippine Coast Guard led the challenging response to this spill, which impacted sensitive tropical habitats, disrupted fisheries, and affected coastal communities. The spill oiled shorelines along the southern coasts of Guimaras Island and several smaller islands in the Guimaras Strait. This area is rich in mangroves, coral reefs, and seagrass beds, which makes it very important for fisheries and aquaculture. Extensive areas of mangroves were oiled, including stands in the Taklong Island National Marine Reserve. Oil also stranded along sand, pebble, and cobble beaches, often seeping into the substrate or becoming buried. The remoteness and rugged terrain of the affected area made shoreside access for cleanup difficult and oversight of cleanup operations complicated. Political demands and press attention frequently made it more difficult for response managers to direct response operations. Shoreline cleanup, organized under the auspices of the national oil company Petron, was conducted manually by hired local residents. The removal of heavy contamination was completed in most areas within three weeks but more detailed cleaning and clearing recovered oily waste continued for approximately three months. As recommended by mangrove experts, little cleanup was conducted in oiled mangroves. Monitoring a year after the spill indicates that impacted mangroves are recovering naturally and suffered only minor mortality. Perceptions that seafood might be contaminated affected fisheries far beyond the areas actually contaminated by oil. Misunderstanding of the health risks associated with the spilled oil led to prolonged evacuation of a number of villages and hardship for coastal subsistence communities. Several international oil spill experts provided guidance to Philippine responders. A U.S. advisory team, including representatives of the U.S. Coast Guard Pacific Strike Team and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Emergency Response Division, spent three weeks on-scene in the spill area, working with Philippine responders and natural resource managers. Representatives of the International Tanker Owners Pollution Federation provided technical guidance and advice on-scene for several months. Based on the observations of external advisors, this paper summarizes the impacts and challenges responders confronted in cleaning up the SOLAR 1 oil spill.

Two major categories of injury were compensated through a single land acquisition project. Restoration for lost recreational beach use was wholly compensated with the land acquisition project and eolianite reef injury was mostly satisfied by the same land acquisition restoration project along with two other projects. Creating new recreational beach use opportunities by acquiring privately owned coastal habitat was a natural choice for restoration. Demonstrating the resource service link between a variety of coastal habitats and eolianite habitat was more challenging but possible. The Trustee Council undertook a Habitat Suitability Analysis to demonstrate this service linkage. The Habitat Suitability Analysis showed that habitats different from eolianite reef, including seagrass, mangroves and shallow hardbottom, could provide habitat services to biota that rely upon eoliniate habitat for some part of their life cycle. The land acquired contained a variety of coastal habitats including mangroves, herbaceous wetlands, the mouths of two coastal rivers, the Sabana and Pitahaya Rivers, and reef communities immediately offshore. Additionally, the beach habitat on the parcel was identified in both the Leatherback and Hawksbill Sea Turtle recovery plans as being important conservation targets thus increasing their ecological importance. After selecting land acquisition as a restoration alternative, the need to identify a seasoned land acquisition partner was apparent given the intense demand and competition for a limited resource such as coastal land in Puerto Rico. Finding the right partner to assist in land acquisition, as well as engaging the public early were key elements in the success of this restoration alternative. Strategies and recommendations for other Trustees considering land acquisition as a restoration alternative are explored as well as the pitfalls and lessons learned.

This paper discusses those occurrences, focusing on ephemeral data collection and emergency restoration. Current laws provide some guidance for how these activities may be coordinated. The Field Operations Guide (FOG) and the National Contingency Plan (NCP) state that it is the responsibility of the Incident Commander (IC) to notify natural resource trustees of the incident and to coordinate NRDA representative's activities through the Liaison Officer. The FOG and NCP also state that it is the responsibility of the trustees to conduct their NRDA preassessment activities without hindering the response. The overlap between NRDA and response may be further complicated because many trustees may work within the environmental unit or the wildlife recovery unit for the response and also have the responsibility to work on NRDA. They may work in the Incident Command System advising the IC on response issues while also trying to initiate a damage assessment. Data collection during a response is critical for managing the incident as well as performing a thorough damage assessment. Although the types of data collected to aid the response may be similar to those used in damage assessment, often the scale and level of detail may be quite different. Even with these differences, synergies in ephemeral data collection may exist. Emergency restoration activities do sometimes occur before the response has concluded. The Oil Pollution Act regulations state that emergency restoration may occur if the action is needed to avoid the loss of natural resources, or to prevent any continuing danger to natural resources. If the trustees determine that emergency restoration is needed, they are required to consult with the IC prior to taking any such action. As an example, this paper will discuss emergency restoration actions undertaken during the Whatcom creek, WA gasoline spill to reduce the impact to migrating salmon.

Methods and Results:Plate and microscope counts were compared to measuring the genomic equivalents based on DNA content BA spore suspensions. We developed chemical methods to extract spore DNA and extra-spore (ES) DNA. DNA mass was determined by gel electrophoresis and QPCR assays were developed using the markers on the chromosome (rpoB) and the pXO1 plasmid (pag). The plate counts and microscope counts were very stable (for up to 900days). The effect of freezing and the presence of additives in samples were tested for up to 300days, and the results indicated that the additives tested and freezing did not decrease the viability or microscope counts. Conclusions:Bacillus anthracis spore suspensions can be stored for long periods of time without significant loss of viability or clumping. The content of ES DNA was variable and changed with time. Significant and Impact of the Study:The study shows that BA spore suspensions can be developed for reference materials providing a uniform basis for comparing detection equipment and results from different laboratories.

This paper provides a case study where Trustees implemented a small pilot project to determine the best approach for a large scale oyster reef creation project. While the specific case study is the result of a CERCLA settlement (Alafia River Acid Spill of 1997), this model is transferable to other instances where Trustees are scoping for the most appropriate sites and methods to conduct settlement funded restoration. The Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment on which the case settlement was based called for creation of approximately 4 acres of oyster reef in addition to 4 acres of estuarine marsh restoration. Through an initial scoping process, the Trustees determined that more information was needed to select the most appropriate locations and techniques to implement the large scale oyster restoration project. The Trustees identified 3 general locations with potential for larger scale oyster reef creation. A portion of settlement funding was used to contract for construction and monitoring of an oyster reef pilot project to examine the efficacy of oyster reef construction at the three locations using 4 different cultch materials. At each of the locations, 4 small reefs (approximately 15' x 20') were constructed and monitored for spat set, oyster survival and growth as well as subsidence. A baseline construction report and final monitoring report detailed the results. In addition, a separate report was completed that outlined the feasibility of constructing a 4 acre oyster reef in Hills-borough Bay, FL. This report included several construction considerations such as local sources and costs of cultch materials, shipping/transport, staging areas, construction equipment as well as potential local contractors. This paper reports the results of the oyster pilot project and feasibility report as well as lessons learned from each approach. JF - 2008 INTERNATIONAL OIL SPILL CONFERENCE.

The magnitude of the potential impacts from this release prompted the Federal On-Scene Coordinator (FOSC) to stand up an Incident Command System (ICS) to manage response activities. As part of this Incident Command structure, the Planning Section implemented an Environmental Unit (EU). The EU Leader is responsible for assessing the environmental conditions or impacts related to an incident and develop strategies to minimize those impacts. The N0AA Scientific Support Coordinator (SSC) was requested by the Federal On-Scene Coordinator to fill the position of EU Leader. The response lasted almost one year. Throughout the event the EU was an essential component of the response management structure, capable of building up or scaling down as the workload demanded. Multiple federal, state, and local government personnel, as well as contractors staffed the EU and tackled the complex and often first-time issues as they were presented. Three factors critical to the successful response, and in which the EU played key rolls were: 1) change and adaptation in organizational structure during the response, 2) scientific and technological support for Decision Makers, and 3) effective use of information management tools that demonstrate organizational competence. This paper highlights those three factor, describes the scientific and technological issues the EU dealt with, and how the EU helped to achieve organizational success.

Mud flats are very soft substrates that will not support even the lightest of foot traffic by cleanup workers. Conventional wisdom suggests that oil that strands on a mud flat during low water will lift and float free during the next high water event. Afterwards, the flat will generally appear free of oil. It is very unusual for stranded oil to form a strong adhesive bond to the wet substrate such that during high water events, water flows over the oil, and the oil doesn't resurface and float away. When the water level drops, the oil remains. This unusual process was one of the problems facing responders during the Bayou Perot Oil Spill in Southern Louisiana in January, 2007. The spill was reportedly caused by a vessel striking a small platform and wellhead. The incident resulted in an uncontrolled, wild well release that lasted for nearly five days. During that time, more than 7000 bbls of crude oil and production water emulsion were thought to have been released into the environment. Several thousand of those barrels became stranded in an adjacent wetland with most of the oil stranded on mud flats and in shallow canals with little to no water. The water levels were very low at the time of the event. Subsequent tidal and wind-driven water level changes failed to significantly free the oil. Most of the emulsified oil remained adhered to the mud flats. The question and response challenge became, "How do you clean mud flats adjacent to sensitive marsh habitat without causing unacceptable collateral damage?" Field tests were conducted using several types of sorbents (snare, sweeps, and bagasse), a solidifier, squeegees, and burning. The outcome, based on these tests, was to use "Airboat-deployed Vacuum Recovery Systems.

Surveys were conducted with 57 NOAA scientists and resource managers in nine NOAA programs in 8 different geographic regions across the United States in 2005. A qualitative analysis examined the attitudes and experiences of participants with respect to implementing EAM and identified four major challenges to enhancing cooperation and understanding of EAM. We conclude with recommendations for concrete initiatives that future efforts in EAM that any management agency can undertake to facilitate further ecosystem management opportunities.

A developing concept of ecosystems as ''complex adaptive systems'' lies between these extreme concepts, with recognizably patterned but not fully predictable behavior. Sustainability has also been redefined as humans have exploited and often depleted desirable natural resources. Fisheries management desires sustainable yield, but must rethink this concept within the ecosystem context. The most powerful union of ''ecosystem'' and ''sustainability'' acknowledges the defining characteristics of complex adaptive systems with the objective of identifying and sustaining healthy relationships within and between ecosystems, economies, and society.

When comparisons were made among fish reared in barren, structured or structurally variable environments (i.e. the location of the structure was repositioned every 2-3 days), structure in the rearing environment increased future exploratory behaviour, but only if the structure was stable. Under conditions of high perceived predation risk, the fish no longer exhibited increased exploratory behaviour, suggesting that it is expressed in an adaptive, context-dependant manner. Another concern with hatcheries is that relaxed selection over multiple generations in captivity can increase maladaptive behavioural variation. Compared to rearing in hatchery-typical barren environments, rearing in structured-stable environments decreased behavioural variation. This effect, which occurred during development and did not involve selection, demonstrates a different mechanism for change in behavioural variation in captivity. These experiments show that effects of structure and structural stability occur at the level of both average behaviour and behavioural variation, and suggest that these effects should be considered when fishes are reared in hatcheries for later release into the wild.

Two series of photo-polymerizable resin matrices are formulated employing 2,2-bis[p-(2'-hydroxy-3'-methacryloxypropoxy)phenyl]propane (Bis-GMA) or an ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate (EBPADMA) as the base monomer, unfilled copolymers and composites filled with a mass fraction with 40, 35, and 30%, respectively, of ACP or the un-silanized glass were assessed for biaxial flexure strength (BFS), water sorption (WS), and mineral ion release upon immersion in HEPES-buffered saline solution for up to six months. Substituting EBPADMA for Bis-GMA significantly reduced the WS while only marginally affected the BFS of both dry and wet copolymers. Independent of the filler level, both dry and wet ACP composites formulated with either BTHM or ETHM resins were mechanically weaker than the corresponding copolymers. The BFS of ACP composite specimens after 1 month in saline did not further decrease with further aqueous exposure. The BFS of glass-filled composites decreased with the increased level of the glass filler and the time of aqueous exposure. After 6 months of immersion, the BFS of glass-filled BTHM and ETHM composites, respectively, remained 58 and 41% higher than that of the corresponding ACP composites. Ion release data indicated that a minimum mass fraction of 35% ACP was required to attain the desired solution supersaturation with respect to hydroxyapatite for both the BTHM and ETHM derived composites.

The marsh was heavily and moderately oiled (approximately 1.6-2.46 hectares and 5-6.5 hectares, respectively). Chevron conducted two burns on October 12 and 13, 2005, 6 weeks after the initial spill. A cooperative monitoring effort was established to quantitatively evaluate recovery in three areas: Oiled and burned; Oiled and unburned; and Unoiled and unburned. Chemical analyses demonstrated that marsh surface soil concentrations of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (-PAH) declined at similar rates after eight and five months, respectively. A variety of operational and environmental requirements were needed for a successful burn. This paper will: Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the site for conducting a burn; Discuss the rapid decision-making process to approve the burn during significant post-hurricane response activities; Describe pre-, during- and post-burn operations and observations; Report lessons learned; and Highlight recovery endpoints measured during the monitoring study. This site represents a successful case study for using in-situ burn safely, effectively, and strategically. JF - 2008 INTERNATIONAL OIL SPILL CONFERENCE.

Monospecific, polyclonal IgYs were generated against human HER2 and telomerase, and analytically validated for specificity by western blot and immunohistochemistry on tumor and normal cells and for relative affinity by layered peptide array (LPA). IgYs bound desired targets in cell lines and fixed tissues and showed greater affinity than commercial mammalian antibodies for both HER2 and telomerase proteins. In tissue microarray experiments, HER2 quantitation with IgY antibody and quantum dot imaging correlated well with chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH), whereas telomerase quantitation suggested a trend toward correlation with prostate cancer Gleason Grade and differentiation. Although patient numbers were small, these findings demonstrate the feasibility of relative quantitation of cancer biomarkers with IgY and quantum dot fluorophores, and show promise for rigorous clinical validation in large patient cohorts.

This relationship is used in abundance surveys such as acoustic surveys to convert abundance at length into estimates of population biomass. Although fitting this relationship to weight-length data over a broad range of body sizes is common practice, the fit of this relationship often does not receive careful scrutiny. We explored the fit of the allometric model as well as alternative weight-length relationships to data from acoustic surveys of walleye pollock Theragra chalcogramma from the North Pacific and found a subtle but persistent lack of fit for the allometric relationship, particularly for the largest and smallest fish in the population. This lack of fit results in biased estimates of population biomass. Analysis of weight-length measurements of 10 additional species indicates that these biases are not restricted to walleye pollock; indeed, the lack of fit of the allometric weight-length relationship is likely to be a general concern. Our results suggest that the allometric relationship should not be applied to generate weight-length relations over a broad range of body sizes without careful examination of the potential consequences. In some applications, such as the walleye pollock surveys examined here, use of alternative, less biased, methods to estimate mean weight at length will be beneficial. Such methods include fitting the allometric relationship in a piecewise fashion over restricted size or age intervals and simply computing the mean weight at length. In applications with spawning fish, incorporating the maturity state in weight-length prediction methods is likely to further improve predictions of weight at length.

Because of density differences between the two water types, fish must alter their whole-fish density (WFD) or they will become positively (float) or negatively (sink) buoyant as they change environments. This idea was first suggested over 80 year ago but has been largely overlooked by the scientific community. To explore how fish regulate buoyancy during this important transition, I measured WFD and lipid levels and estimated swim bladder volumes (SBVs) of juvenile coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch collected from freshwater and marine environments. These fish exhibited increased WFD with increasingly dense environments, suggesting active buoyancy regulation. Most of the WFD increase was attributable to decreases in SBV, although hatchery coho salmon also exhibited decreased lipid levels with increasing WFD. Hatchery coho salmon had significantly higher lipid levels than wild coho salmon in both freshwater and marine environments. These high lipid levels may impede the ability of hatchery fish to regulate buoyancy and may increase their vulnerability to surface predators. Furthermore, lipid levels that vary with both environmental water density and fish origin clearly complicate the interpretation of this variable during the important transition from freshwater to the ocean.

Use of the chronometer depends upon the increase in super(14)C that occurred due to the atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons in the middle of the 20th century. In previous analyses, a variety of ad hoc methods have been used to compare test chronologies with reference chronologies. This paper proposes a deterministic coupled-functions model that describes bomb radiocarbon chronologies and standardizes and facilitates comparisons within and across species. In this model, a Gaussian pulse of radiocarbon over time is assumed, and dispersion and dilution are described by continuous exponential decay. The model simplifies to the product of a cumulative normal function and an exponential function; despite its simplicity, the model approximates the observed changes in oceanic radiocarbon quite well. It also allows for statistical testing of the timing of increase between different time series and thus permits quantitative aging validation as well as analysis of geographical differences in the timing of the bomb radiocarbon signal. Estimated model parameters describe the timing of the onset and temporal midpoint of the bomb-related increase in super(14)C and the rate of super(14)C dispersion or dilution, which corresponds to the observed rate of decline during the postbomb period. Nine published chronologies are used to demonstrate the model and compare it with other published methods of summarizing bomb radiocarbon data for age validation purposes.

During the springs and summers of 1998-2004, we collected predator and prey fishes (forage and juvenile salmonids) at the surface at night off the mouth of the Columbia River. Pacific hake Merluccius productus had relatively low percentages of empty stomachs during cool-ocean years (2000 through 2002) and high percentages during 1998, a warm-ocean year. Euphausiids and fishes were the most commonly eaten prey for both species. Pacific hake and jack mackerel Trachurus symmetricus appeared to show some diet selectivity, eating some fish, including salmonids, in a higher proportion than found in the environment. Both Pacific hake and jack mackerel ate juvenile salmonids, but at very low amounts. After considering population sizes in the study area, these two predators do not appear to be responsible for the death of large numbers of Columbia River juvenile salmon smolts. However, we may have underestimated the number of salmonids eaten by hake and mackerel due to the limitations of our study. More work needs to be done to identify and quantify predation of juvenile salmon off the Pacific Northwest.

Many nutrients released into the coastal ocean are released in distinct water masses such as inlet discharge plumes, wastewater outfall discharge plumes, and hurricane-induced re-suspensions. Using water column acoustic backscatter profiles, obtained via either ship-borne instrumentation or in-situ instrumentation, multidimensional images of nutrient bearing water masses are derived. Said images are of assistance in the design of chemical and biological sampling efforts. Examples of water mass imaging will be presented as well as the use of such images in the design of water quality sampling programs. Using a combination of acoustic backscatter, Doppler current profilers, nutrient (nitrate, nitrite, silica, phosphate, ammonia) samples and microbiological (fecal, protozoa, viruses) samples, flux estimates of said quan-, titles may be made for inlet discharges. Results will be presented for a south Florida inlet having an average net seaward discharge of approximately 200 million gallons per day. Selected acoustic images of treated waste water effluent plumes will be presented and compared with plume spatial distributions inferred from conservative plume tracer studies.

Studds Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary AN - 20824458; 10957011 AB - Understanding and mitigating the effects of underwater noise on marine species requires substantial information regarding acoustic contributions from shipping. In 2006, we used the U.S. Coast Guard's Automatic Identification System (AIS) to describe patterns of large commercial ship traffic within a U.S. National Marine Sanctuary. AIS data were combined with low-frequency acoustic data from an array of nine-ten autonomous recording units deployed throughout 2006. Analysis of received sound levels (10-1000 Hz, root-mean squared decibels re 1 kPascal c standard error) averaged 119.5 c 0.3 at high traffic locations. High traffic locations experienced double the acoustic power of less trafficked locations for the majority of the time period analyzed. Average source level estimates (71-141 Hz, root-mean squared decibels re 1 kPascal c standard error) for individual vessels ranged from 158 c 2 (research vessel) to 186 c 2 (oil tanker). Tankers were estimated to contribute two times more acoustic power to the region annually than cargo ships, and over one hundred times more than research vessels. Our results indicate that noise produced by large commercial traffic was at levels and within frequencies that warrant concern among managers regarding the ability of endangered whales to maintain acoustic contact within greater sanctuary waters.

Such exposure can mask important biological sounds including those used for social functions. Vocal animals might compensate for increased background noise by calling louder (the Lombard effect). In this study, amplitude compensation was investigated in SRKW communication calls recorded off of San Juan Island, WA, U.S.A. Data were obtained from two calibrated recording systems, a shore-based hydrophone array [V. Veirs, J. Acoust. Soc. Am., 116, 2615 (2004)] and a boat-based vertical array. Calls were localized using time of arrival differences to estimate range and apparent source levels after background levels were subtracted from the signal. Call levels were calculated assuming spreading loss functions determined from sound propagation observations made in situ. Results demonstrated a positive relationship between call levels and background levels. Costs of such vocal flexibility are unknown, but may include changes in energetic demand anor communicative functionality. Within the data ranges measured in this study, killer whales communicatively adjusted for fluctuating background noise levels. However, other sounds detected during passive listening (e.g. prey sounds) might be more susceptible to masking effects.

These and a previous incident involving human intoxication and deaths prompted many studies, some of which have unveiled the trophic transfer of DA from benthic invertebrates and planktivorous fish to top predators, demonstrating serious health risk to marine wildlife and humans. Top predator populations that may be more adversely affected by DA include those with narrow geographical distribution or those that are already in decline as a result of other environmental stressors or natural cyclic fluctuations. However, to date no studies have attempted to assess the population effects of recurrent exposures to DA on any of the affected wildlife species. Ecological risk assessment can help to identify DA effects on wildlife, but meaningful assessments require the integration of many types of information, often not available to conduct such studies. Hence, determining short- and long-term effects on marine wildlife populations is rather challenging. The purpose of this review is to highlight recent research efforts and information gaps, and the need for interdisciplinary programs that allow collaborative wildlife population risk assessments of critical species.

The present study reports on a series of experiments conducted in order to characterize the performance of this firebrand generator. Firebrand generator characterization experiments were performed at the Fire Research Wind Tunnel Facility (FRWTF) at the Building Research Institute (BRI) in Tsukuba, Japan. The firebrand generator was fed with three different initial firebrand geometries, two different sized cylinders and one size of disks. Cylinders were used to simulate firebrand fluxes from vegetation, such as trees, while disks were used to simulate a firebrand flux from burning structures. Samples of these geometries were constructed from wood dowels, fed into the firebrand generator, ignited, and the glowing firebrands generated were collected using an array of water filled pans. The pans were filled with water in order to quench combustion. The collected firebrands were subsequently dried and the size and mass distribution was measured. These experiments were performed over a range of wind tunnel speeds, with no wind speed present to 9m/s, to determine the lofting distance of the firebrands generated. Finally, the size and mass distribution produced from the firebrand generator are compared to those produced from burning trees. Results of the study are presented and discussed.

The slide buried more than 150-m of previously-oiled and cleaned boulder-cobble shoreline, offering an opportunity to monitor colonization of virgin rock and to compare that colonization with that of nearby oiled and cleaned sites monitored during the early 1990's. The intertidal zone of six well-separated vertical landslide surfaces were photographed annually from 2003 to 2006 and the photos used to estimate changes in percent cover or abundance of conspicuous intertidal plants and animals. Algal colonization was rapid and by 2006 appeared to be approaching coverage and zonation comparable to adjacent undisturbed shoreline. By the summer of 2002 intertidal rock surfaces showed three distinct zones, an upper Fucus-dominated zone, a bare-rock mid-intertidal zone and a lower red and green algal zone. The bare mid-intertidal zone was not apparent at nearby reference (non-landslide) shorelines. In 2003, three years after the landslide, bare rock was covered with a bright green alga, Enteromorpha, interspersed with maturing Fucus plants. By 2004 (5 years after the slide) the bare mid-intertidal zone was colonized by Fucus. Rock surface was nearly 100% covered with these algae. Percent cover of Fucus declined in 2005 and 2006. By 2006 the zonation, patchiness, and cover of algae at the landslide sites looked very similar to those at the adjacent reference sites. This pattern of evolving zonation, and rapid increase and then decrease in Fucus cover, was nearly identical to the patterns observed at oiled and cleaned sites in the early 1990's suggesting that what was seen then was an entirely normal process of intertidal colonization. However, it appears that colonization and zonation at the landslide sites was slower than at the previously-studied oil spill sites. Additional monitoring would be useful to determine if the cover, patchiness and zonation at the landslide sites parallels the variation at reference sites. Additional detailed analysis of these observations is underway and will be reported. JF - 2008 INTERNATIONAL OIL SPILL CONFERENCE.

Direct emissions and secondary formation of organic matter in urban plumes AN - 20690605; 8194148 AB - Ship and aircraft measurements of aerosol organic matter (OM) and water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) were made in fresh and aged pollution plumes from major urban areas in the northeastern United States in the framework of the 2004 International Consortium for Atmospheric Research on Transport and Transformation (ICARTT) study. A large part of the variability in the data was quantitatively described by a simple parameterization from a previous study that uses measured mixing ratios of CO and either the transport age or the photochemical age of the sampled air masses. The results suggest that OM was mostly due to secondary formation from anthropogenic volatile organic compound (VOC) precursors in urban plumes. Approximately 37% of the secondary formation can be accounted for by the removal of aromatic precursors using newly published particulate mass yields for low-NOx conditions, which are significantly higher than previous results. Of the secondary formation, 63% remains unexplained and is possibly due to semivolatile precursors that are not measurable by standard gas chromatographic methods. The observed secondary OM in urban plumes may account for 35% of the total source of OM in the United States and 8.5% of the global OM source. OM is an important factor in climate and air quality issues, but its sources and formation mechanisms remain poorly quantified. JF - Journal of Geophysical Research.

Mixing models use stable isotope data to estimate the contribution of sources to a mixture. Uncertainty associated with mixing models is often substantial, but has not yet been fully incorporated in models. We developed a Bayesian-mixing model that estimates probability distributions of source contributions to a mixture while explicitly accounting for uncertainty associated with multiple sources, fractionation and isotope signatures. This model also allows for optional incorporation of informative prior information in analyses. We demonstrate our model using a predator-prey case study. Accounting for uncertainty in mixing model inputs can change the variability, magnitude and rank order of estimates of prey (source) contributions to the predator (mixture). Isotope mixing models need to fully account for uncertainty in order to accurately estimate source contributions.

The continuous-time formulation allows data that have been nonuniformly collected over time to be modeled without subsampling, interpolation, or aggregation to obtain a set of locations uniformly spaced in time. The model is derived from a continuous-time Ornstein-Uhlenbeck velocity process that is integrated to form a location process. The continuous-time model was placed into a state-space framework to allow parameter estimation and location predictions from observed animal locations. Two previously unpublished marine mammal telemetry data sets were analyzed to illustrate use of the model, by-products available from the analysis, and different modifications which are possible. A harbor seal data set was analyzed with a model that incorporates the proportion of each hour spent on land. Also, a northern fur seal pup data set was analyzed with a random drift component to account for directed travel and ocean currents.

Evolution of chemical and microphysical properties AN - 20666957; 8194147 AB - Measurements of aerosol particle size distributions and composition and of trace and reactive gas mixing ratios were made on the NOAA WP-3D aircraft downwind of mixed urban/industrial sources in the northeastern United States (U.S.). These measurements were made in noncloudy air during July and August 2004, under conditions where cloud processing was not likely to play an important role in oxidation chemistry. Under these conditions, particulate sulfate was found to be produced with an exponential time constant of 63.5 d from the gas-phase oxidation of SO sub(2), which was ubiquitous but inhomogeneously distributed in the pollution plumes. When submicron particle mass concentrations exceeded 15 [mu]g m super(- 3), sulfate and associated ammonium dominated the composition; at lower mass concentrations particulate organic matter (OM) dominated. Since most of the urban plumes sampled contained substantial SO sub(2) from nearby industrial sources, the apportionment of aerosol mass between OM and sulfate compounds under noncloudy conditions was governed largely by the differences between the oxidation timescales of SO sub(2) and those of precursor volatile organic compounds (VOCs) relative to their transport time. These differences in oxidation timescales may explain much of the variability in previously published OM/sulfate ratios for this region. These observations indicate that even with higher-than-expected secondary OM formation, in the northeastern U.S. the potential inorganic particulate mass from SO sub(2) emissions significantly exceeds the potential secondary OM from anthropogenic VOC emissions.

With multidecadal full-chemistry transient simulations in the MOZART-2 tropospheric chemistry model, we show that tropospheric O sub(3) responds approximately linearly to changes in CH sub(4) emissions over a range of anthropogenic emissions from 0-430 Tg CH sub(4) a super(-1) (0.11-0.16 Tg tropospheric O sub(3) or 611-15 ppt global mean surface O sub(3) decrease per Tg a super(-1) CH sub(4) reduced). We find that neither the air quality nor climate benefits depend strongly on the location of the CH sub(4) emission reductions, implying that the lowest cost emission controls can be targeted. With a series of future (2005-2030) transient simulations, we demonstrate that cost-effective CH sub(4) controls would offset the positive climate forcing from CH sub(4) and O sub(3) that would otherwise occur (from increases in NO sub(x) and CH sub(4) emissions in the baseline scenario) and improve O sub(3) air quality. We estimate that anthropogenic CH sub(4) contributes 0.7 Wm super(-2) to climate forcing and 64 ppb to surface O sub(3) in 2030 under the baseline scenario. Although the response of surface O sub(3) to CH sub(4) is relatively uniform spatially compared to that from other O sub(3) precursors, it is strongest in regions where surface air mixes frequently with the free troposphere and where the local O sub(3) formation regime is NO sub(x)-saturated. In the model, CH sub(4) oxidation within the boundary layer (below 62.5 km) contributes more to surface O sub(3) than CH sub(4) oxidation in the free troposphere. In NO sub(x)-saturated regions, the surface O sub(3) sensitivity to CH sub(4) can be twice that of the global mean, with >70% of this sensitivity resulting from boundary layer oxidation of CH sub(4). Accurately representing the NO sub(x) distribution is thus crucial for quantifying the O sub(3) sensitivity to CH sub(4). JF - Journal of Geophysical Research.

Vessels radiate noise at the frequencies where fish hearing is most sensitive, and noise is thus thought to be the primary stimulus for vessel avoidance. In an effort to minimize vessel avoidance, international standards for noise emission by research vessels have been established. Although vessels meeting these criteria are now in service, the effectiveness of noise quietening on vessel avoidance remains poorly understood. The new, noise-reduced, RV "Oscar Dyson" (OD) will augment the conventionally constructed research vessel, "Miller Freeman" (MF) and serve as the primary platform in conducting acoustic surveys of walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) in Alaska. To investigate whether noise-reduction measures result in differential avoidance, which would bias the pollock abundance time-series, we conducted an inter-vessel comparison of acoustic backscatter recorded by OD and MF during a survey of walleye pollock in 2006 in the eastern Bering Sea. Overall, we found no evidence for differences in vessel avoidance that would impact the echo integration results of adult pollock. Analysis of pollock depth distributions from both vessels suggests that there is a comparatively greater diving response to OD, with the reaction taking place primarily after the vessel has passed and for fish shallower than 90 m. Given that the change in vertical distribution is after the fish have been detected by the echosounder, this reaction should not influence echo-integration measurements. The results indicate that use of the OD rather than the MF is unlikely to bias the Bering Sea survey time-series through changes in vessel avoidance by adult walleye pollock.

An understanding of these processes ultimately influences the ability to predict the contribution of phytoplankton to carbon cycling, the initiation and persistence of harmful algal blooms, and the ability to use satellites for the remote sensing of specific phytoplankton taxa important for biogeochemistry. A statistical analysis of 5 years (1998-2003) of phytoplankton pigment concentrations from the Santa Barbara Channel using empirical orthogonal functions reveals four dominant modes of variability that explain 80% of the variance in the pigment data set. The annual cycle is characterized by a switching from a mixed-phytoplankton assemblage mode to modes dominated by either diatoms, dinoflagellates, or a combination of nano- and pico-phytoplankton. The dominant two modes correspond to a prebloom condition that precedes upwelling conditions, with all identified phytoplankton groups present in low abundance and a diatom-dominated upwelling state that develops following spring upwelling. In 2001, the EOF analysis indicated a transition toward more intense diatom blooms in spring and summer and fewer, large dinoflagellate blooms. This trend was corroborated by analyses of diagnostic pigments and CHEMTAX analysis and may be linked to an increase in local upwelling intensity between 2001 and 2003. Both spring diatom blooms occurring after 2001 were dominated by toxic Pseudo- nitzschia species and led to significant marine mammal deaths in the channel in 2003.

The SSI area is surveyed each austral summer by the US Antarctic Marine Living Resources Program, and the acoustic data are used to examine trends in krill biomass and to assess the potential impact of fishing to the reproductive success of land-based predators (seals and penguins). The time-series of recomputed biomass densities varies greatly from that computed using an empirical log-linear TS-model and fixed-ranges of differences in volume-backscattering strengths (S sub(V)), conventionally used to identify krill acoustically. The new acoustic estimates of biomass are significantly correlated with both proportional recruitment and krill abundance estimated from zooplankton samples. Two distinct peaks in biomass (1996 and 2003) are in accord with recruitment events shown by net-based krill time-series. The foundation for the new TS-model and the associated krill-discrimination algorithm, coupled with the agreement between acoustic- and net-survey results, provides strong support for the use of the new analytical technique. Variable biases in the re-estimated krill biomass have been greatly reduced. However, survey variability increased as a result of the increased rejection of acoustic backscatter previously attributed to krill. Management of Southern Ocean krill stocks based on a precautionary approach may therefore result in decreased allocations of krill, given its dependence on the variability of survey estimates.

AN - 19752697; 8271512 AB - The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is a federal trustee within the National Contingency Plan (NCP) in addition to providing scientific and technical support to the Incident Command System (ICS) during a response. NOAA is also the home of the National Marine Sanctuary Program (NMSP), a system of 14 marine protected areas that encompass 150,000 square miles of coastal and oceanic waters. OAA is increasing its capacity for addressing a significant incident through participating in and leading spill response exercises. One of the most intense aspects of those experiences is often the discussion of the role of NOAA as a trustee and whether they should be part of the Unified Command (UC). While the NCP outlines the expectations of Regional Response Team (RRT) members from the Department of the Interior and the Department of Commerce (NOAA), it provides the Federal On Scene Coordinator (FOSC) considerable flexibility in determining whether to iclude trustees within the UC or working with the Liaison or through the Environmental Unit. A recent Technical Assistance Document from the National Response Team speaks directly to this issue and provides RRT's more specific guidance. There are some RRT's that feel strongly that the only trustee in the UC should be the states. NOAA and the DOI believe that they should be afforded the same considerations in the marine and coastal environment as trustees or landowners in the terrestrial environment. Both the Safe Sanctuaries 2005 in Florida and the Safe Seas 2006 in California provided a forum for dialogue on this issue. In both instances, the FOSC did engage the trustees in the UC. It is not always necessary or appropriate for NOAA to participate as a member of the UC. In some situations it could be more effective to participate in other capacities within the ICS and NOAA may not be the trustee with the most significant resources at risk. When participating in a UC, it is incumbent upon the NOAA representative to work with other members of the UC to manage the response under a single, collaborative approach.

Historically NOAA National Weather Service (NWS) has provided the operational weather support component for ERD in the form of forecasts and observations. The dearth of conventional weather data in remote locations provide unique challenges for providing weather support for Hazmat events in locations such as the Aleutian Island Chain of Alaska. Weather support for Hazmat events in Alaska are further complicated during the storm season from October through March due to the frequency and intensity of storms in Alaska combined with the vast distances to reach the scene. Such was the case when the M/V Selendang Ayu grounded on Unalaska Island in the Aleutian Islands, 800 miles southwest of Anchorage, within the AOR of NWS Weather Forecast Office Anchorage. Unalaska Island has a handful of permanent observational platforms, all in the vicinity of Dutch Harbor. However, the M/V Selendang Ayu was foundering on the west side of the island, in a different meteorological and oceanographic regime. WFO Anchorage developed a plan that included siting a land-based weather station near the wreck, a specialized processing of Synthetic Aperture Radar Satellite (SARSat) passes, and a Selendang Ayu event web portal populated with tailored products for the event within 24 hours. Given the significance of the event within a highly vulnerable ecosystem, one of the first actions that the ERD Alaska Scientific Support Coordinator initiated was to exercise an agreement with the NWS to bring their Incident Meteorologist on scene as part of the NOAA Scientific Support Team. The NWS response was immediate and effective. Within a week the first Incident Meteorologist (IM) was on scene providing regional and localized weather reviews and forecasts for the IC Post as well as weather briefings on request for helo pilots and boat skippers. On scene IM support continued for the next two months. Weather support through the spring and summer was provided via phone and web by the Anchorage Forecast Office.

It is known that halogens such as chlorine, bromine and iodine are converted from halides, which are relatively inert, to reactive radicals. These reactive radicals can affect ozone production and destruction, aerosol formation and the lifetimes of important trace gases such as methane, mercury and naturally occurring sulphur compounds. However, the processes by which halides are converted to reactive halogens are uncertain. Here, we report atmospheric measurements of nitryl chloride, an active halogen, along the southeast coastline of the United States and near Houston, Texas. We show that the main source of nitryl chloride is the night-time reaction of dinitrogen pentoxide with chloride-containing aerosol. The levels observed are much greater than earlier estimates based on numerical models and are sufficiently large to affect oxidant photochemistry in areas where nitrogen oxides and aerosol chloride sources coexist, such as urban areas and ship engine exhaust plumes.

Numerous researchers have evaluated effects of biopsy darting on the target animal, but biopsy sampling may also have unintentional effects on nearby nontarget animals. We evaluated reactions of target and nontarget animals during remote biopsy sampling conducted on bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in August 2004 off Folly Beach, South Carolina, and Jekyll Island, Georgia, USA, and in February-March and July-August 2005 off Hilton Head, South Carolina. We examined external factors that might influence response of the target animal as well as other individuals in the group. Target animals reacted to biopsy attempts 90.9% (n = 475) of the time. Of these, 97.5% (n = 432) of reactions were to biopsy hits, and 84.4% (n = 320) of all hits had reactions recorded as low. Nontarget animals reacted 21.9% (n = 1,158) of the time; interanimal distance from target animal, season, sea state, and depth affected reactions of nontarget animals. Overall, however, biopsy effects appear to be minimal. We present a statistical tool for identifying factors that elicit greater reactions. This model could be adapted for species or locations, as needed, to identify factors that could influence effects of biopsy sampling.

After its annual low in winter, T. longicornis abundance begins to increase in coastal waters with the northern progression of spring conditions. Annual maximum shelf concentrations were found in the more southern inshore waters of the region during the summer months. Abundance throughout most of the ecosystem increased sharply in the early 1990s and remained high through 2001. During this period, the copepod became more numerous and widespread in offshore shelf waters. Abundance declined to approximately average levels in 2002 for the remainder of the time series, but its extended offshore range remained intact. Correlation analysis found that the copepods interannual abundance variability had a significant negative relationship with surface salinity anomalies throughout the ecosystem, with higher correlations found in the northernmost subareas. Temora longicornis abundance in the ecosystem's southernmost subarea (Middle Atlantic Bight) did not increase in the 1990s and was found to be negatively correlated to surface temperature, indicating that continued global warming could adversely impact the copepods annual abundance cycle in this region.

Recently, in the southeast United States, marine mammals were observed in the vicinity of several oil spills. Proper coordination of marine mammal rescue or recovery actions with the Unified Command (UC) is essential for response personnel safety and increased probability of saving the affected animals. In the event of animal mortalities, effective coordination between the marine mammal resource agencies and the UC helps ensure the preservation of causal evidence. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R), generally through the NOAA Scientific Support Coordinator (SSC), is able to assist the Federal On-Scene Coordinator (FOSC) and UC in addressing the threat of spilled oil on potentially affected marine mammals. Response actions during recent spills included: documenting the animals' type and location, notification of the marine mammal agencies and teams responsible for their recovery and care, and coordination between the spill response and the marine mammal response. The actions of responders during recent spills involving marine mammals are summarized and relevant issues discussed, including properly characterizing the threat to marine mammals from spilled oil. The recent oil spill responses involving marine mammals in the southeastern U.S. are applicable to future spills throughout the United States and potentially worldwide. These recent incidents underscore the need to fully understand and plan for high profile wildlife issues during oil spill responses. JF - 2008 INTERNATIONAL OIL SPILL CONFERENCE.

Not knowing and understanding the reality of the ecological and economic impacts associated with submerged threats (such as vessels, pipelines, abandoned wellheads, ammunition, and chemical weapon dumpsites) is no longer an option for the nation's leading ocean agency. Reactive strategies for addressing these threats after a release incident have proved to be ineffective and costly. For example, the decade-long release of heavy fuel oil from the M/V Jacob Luckenbach off the coast of California not only caused the loss of thousands of seabirds, but also cost the nation upwards of $20 million dollars to mitigate and remove the oil from the sunken cargo ship. We know there are potential threats out there and the National Marine Sanctuary Program (NMSP) is taking the proactive first steps in understanding this issue. NOAA's NMSP and the Office of Response and Restoration's Hazardous Materials Division have developed the Resources and Undersea Threats Database (RUST). RUST addresses the need for a centralized planning tool to safeguard the marine, historical, and cultural resources within the NMSP.

Female reproductive state (primiparous or multiparous) and dates of egg extrusion were recorded, eggs were sampled monthly to determine egg stage and area, and larvae were collected daily during eclosion to determine timing and duration of eclosion. Primiparous Tanner crabs extruded eggs on average 103 days earlier than multiparous females and embryos developed similarly between groups. Both groups exhibited an embryonic developmental diapause at the gastrula stage, but the length of diapause was approximately 6 months for the primiparous group and 3 months for the multiparous group. This diapause appears to synchronize eclosion. The eggs of primiparous Tanner crabs were significantly smaller than the eggs of multiparous females for a few months after extrusion, but the differences may not be biologically significant. Eclosion was relatively synchronous between the two groups, however the mean eclosion date was 10 days earlier for primiparous females and on average, eclosion took 7 days for primiparous females and 12 days for multiparous females. Primiparous Tanner crabs have an average incubation period of 489 days which is 92 days longer than the average multiparous female incubation period of 397 days. Results of this study clearly illustrate that reproductive cycles differ between primiparous and multiparous Tanner crabs which may result in different reproductive potentials. Differences between primiparous and multiparous Tanner crabs must be understood and included in models for effective stock assessment, fishery management plans, and rebuilding plans.

For harvested organisms, these life-history characteristics are important in assessing the efficacy of fishery regulations. We used a 15-year database on stone crabs (genus Menippe) inhabiting west-central Florida waters to estimate these life-history aspects. Transition points in crusher-claw propodus length (PL):CW allometry and discriminant function analysis indicated that 50% morphological maturity (CW50) occurred at approximately 70 mm CW for males and 60 mm CW for females. Patterns in the proportions of physiologically mature (gravid) and functionally mature (ovigerous) females in 10-mm-CW size-classes followed the female morphological maturity pattern. The CW50 was significantly smaller than the mean size at behavioral maturity (participation in mating) in males (86 mm CW), but was not in females (62 mm CW). In both sexes, PL:CW allometry also shifted at 30-35 mm CW, allowing us to define three life stages: small juvenile, large juvenile, and adult. Male PL:CW allometry increased dramatically in adulthood, whereas adult-female PL:CW allometry remained the same as that of large juvenile females. Molt frequency decreased with increasing size in both sexes; molt increment increased with increasing size in males but increased only up to CW50 in females. Adult males and females molt annually in cycles dictated by female reproduction. Males enter the commercial fishery during age three and females during age four. Females have contributed to the reproductive population prior to entering the fishery, but most males probably have not.

AN - 16376276; 13409 AB - PURPOSE: The authorization of the resumption by the Makah Indian Tribe of limited hunting of eastern North Pacific gray whales in the coastal portion of the tribe's usual and accustomed fishing grounds (U&A) off the coast of Washington State is proposed to allow the tribe to meet its ceremonial and subsistence needs. The proposed authorization would require the waiver of a moratorium prohibiting the take of marine mammals under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), promulgate the associated regulations, and issue the necessary permits. The tribe's proposal stems from the 1855 Treaty of Neah Bay, which expressly secures the Makah Tribe's right to hunt whales. To exercise that right, the tribe seeks authorization from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Fisheries Service under the MMPA and the Whaling Convention Act. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would refuse the proposed authorization to the tribe, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action (Alternative 2) would allow the harvest of four gray whales per year on average, with a maximum of five in any one year, and up to 20 whales over a five-year period covered by the authorization. Hunting would be allowed in the tribe's U&A outside the Strait of Juan de Fuca from December 1 to May 31. Hunting would not be allowed within 200 yards of Tatoosh Island and White Rock. The number of whales that could be struck would be limited to no more than seven per year and o more than 35 over the five-year period, while the number of whales struck and lost would be limited to three annually and 15 over the five-year authorization period. The maximum number of whales allowed to be struck during any one year would be limited to seven, and the maximum number struck and lost would be limited to three. Alternative 3 would include the same area for the hunt as Alternative 2, but would eliminate seasonal and other restrictions on killing and landing whales. Alternative 4 would have the same conditions as Alternative 2, except that it would prohibit vessels associated with any Makah hunt from entering the 200-year exclusion zone that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has established around all rocks and islands comprising the Washington Islands National Wildlife Refuges. Alternative 5 would include the same hunting area as Alternative 2, but would eliminate seasonal restrictions and the restrictions on landing identified whales as well as imposing additional restrictions on the total number of whales harvested, struck, or struck and lost. Alternative 6 would follow the guidelines under Alternative 3,but the tribe could hunt throughout the entire U&A, including the Strait of Juan de Fuca and there would be no seasonal restrictions or harvest limitations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The authorization would allow the Makah to perpetuate its 1,500-year-old tradition of whale hunting, which extends from a 750 years of harvesting drifting and stranded whales. Whales would, once again, provide a source of food, oil, blubber, and other products. Whaling would also reinstate intangible cultural and religious benefits to the tribe and act as a central organizing feature of Makah society. Valuable data would be gathered on whale populations along the Northwest Pacific Coast. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Whales would be killed, but the population would not be threatened by the removal of the specified numbers of animals. Some residents would find the practice of whaling offensive.

Understandingpast variations in Yaqui streamflow is important to developing river forecasts and management plans. Thispresentation describes an effort to develop longer proxy records of streamflow to better understand the region'sclimate variability and drought history. The result is a 363-year dendrochronology based reconstruction model ofYaqui River streamflow.The model is based on a correlation between 44-years of Yaqui streamflow data and tree-ring chronologiesdating to A.D. 1639. Chronologies are from Bisaloachi (28.66 N, 108.29 W), Cebadilla de Ocampo (28.122 N,107.95 W) and Mesa de las Guacamayas (30.55 N, 108.62 W) in the state of Chihuahua, MX. The binary modeluses a normalized index of annual total tree ring width (Tree-Ring Index, TRI). The model output is the probabilitythat a given year experienced less than median streamflow, a possible indicator of drought. This model correctlypredicts 100% of less than median streamflow years using a TRI input of < 0.75.However, this model does not predict over 30% of less than median streamflow years, and thus is not adequatefor assessing drought. The available data might limit assessment of low precipitation. Total ring width (TRW) istypically associated with winter precipitation (October-June, in this case), which represents less than 40% ofannual streamflow in this region where much of the precipitation and streamflow are related to the NorthAmerican Monsoon (NAM), typically from July-September. The late wood (LW) growth portion of tree-rings maybetter reflect the NAM precipitation and streamflow, and produce a better reconstruction model.These results show that representation of NAM streamflow is essential for a more accurate streamflowreconstruction model. More tree-ring chronologies from other parts of the basin may increase the signal of natural streamflow variance captured, strengthening the reconstruction model. In particular, analyses of LW correlationwith summer precipitation and streamflow are needed. Finally, other types of proxy records may contribute tounderstanding summer variability. Longer and more robust streamflow reconstructions will provide a betterunderstanding of climate variability in this region, including drought length and severity, and contribute todeveloping improved tools for the management of the agriculturally important Yaqui River.

Statistical tabulation of historical storms provides insufficient guidance to evenpartially describe this risk. Recourse must be made to numerical modeling to fully describe the potential stormsurge inundation. For the entire hurricane-prone coastline and contiguous inland areas for which it isresponsible, the U.S. National Weather Service has modeled potential storm surge inundation. In addition tohighlighting the direct risk to water resources, these data can be used to assist in siting and guide remediation of infrastructure and potentially contaminating facilities. This talk will describe the NWS model and methods usedto calculate the storm surge data, and will demonstrate their utility.

Following the successful completion of Phase 1 of the Distributed ModelIntercomparison Project (DMIP), the NWS deployed a gridded distributed model in early 2007. Operationalforecasting with this model has shown both successes and needs for improvement. The distributed model hasled to more accurate forecasts compared to the lumped model in cases with a high degree of spatial variability ofprecipitation. In some cases the distributed model performance is less than that of the lumped model.Investigations are continuing into these cases. Operational distributed model forecasting has also highlightedthe need for manual and automatic data assimilation to keep the model state variables on track.The second phase of DMIP is currently underway. It is designed to revisit issues not fully addressed in the DMIP 1 Oklahoma basins and also to examine new distributed modeling issues in the mountainous west. Tests weredesigned for the Oklahoma basins to investigate the use of distributed models for prediction of soil moisture aswell as streamflow. In addition, more observations from stream gauge points were gathered to help assess theperformance of distributed models in ungauged areas. A second major thrust of DMIP 2 is to examine modelingissues in mountainous areas with complexities such as sparse data collection networks, orographicallyenhanced precipitation, snow, complex terrain features and others. Pertinent questions for the NWS include 1)whether current data collection networks can support distributed models to realize benefits in mountainousareas, and 2) can new sensors provide better estimates of precipitation, temperature, and the rain snowelevation. The DMIP 2 analyses will also help us to identify diagnostics for where distributed models can beexpected to out-perform lumped models.In this presentation, we will explore cases of operational river forecasting and our strategy for field deploymentand calibration. In addition, we will discuss NWS DMIP 2 simulations for two basins in the Sierra Nevadamountains. Finally, we will conclude with a brief discussion of the NWS perspective on needs for operationaldistributed modeling. Among these is the need for meaningful a priori model parameters to support calibrationand data assimilation.

The NWS continues to implementdistributed hydrologic modeling to improve water resources and flash flood forecasting capability for the UnitedStates. Meaningful a priori parameter estimates enhance both manual and automatic calibration strategies andreduce the cost of implementing distributed models in operations. Initial OHD efforts in deriving a priori griddedmodel parameters utilized the relatively coarse-resolution State Soil Geographic Database (STATSGO) soils dataand assumed uniform land cover. With the use of USGS spatially variable land cover information instead of auniform land cover assumption, it is anticipated that the STATSGO -based approach could improve the estimation of a priori gridded model parameters. However, there are limitations in using the STATSGO data, as thedistributed model operates on a higher spatial resolution than the data. Utilizing finer-scale county-level SoilSurvey Geographic Database (SSURGO) soils data, together with variable land use and land cover data withineach soil polygon, a new third set of a priori gridded parameters can be derived which could further improvehydrologic simulations. The effects of using spatially variable land cover information together with STATSGO andSSURGO data to derive a priori model parameters on distributed model simulations will be analyzed for severalbasins in the United States. The results will be compared to simulations based on parameters derived fromSTATSGO data assuming uniform land cover. Simulated hourly flow time series from the three cases (SSURGO, STATSGO with spatially variable land cover, and STATSGO with uniform land cover) will be compared to hourlyobserved data.

Increasedfishing pressure on these banks has prompted the Caribbean Fisheries Council to take actions such asseasonally closing fishing grounds and establishing Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). Due to a lack of biologicaland oceanographic data for the region, these management decisions have been based on professionaljudgment rather than scientific data.In response to this situation, NOAA scientists from SEFSC and AOML began an interdisciplinary field study in theregion in 2007. Research cruises utilize biological sampling techniques such as MOCNESS, neuston, andbongo trawl tows simultaneously with standard physical sampling methods such as CTD/LADCP casts, hull-mounted water velocity measurements, and Lagrangian drifter deployments. The three year project aims todetermine how the unprotected banks of the Virgin Islands and surrounding region, the seasonally closed banksand MPAs, and near-shore areas are ecologically linked in terms of larval dispersal, transport, and life historypatterns. This collaboration should produce an assessment, based on scientific data, of the effectiveness ofCaribbean Research Council management decisions and suggest modifications and improvements to currentpolicy. Additionally, this project will also provide fisheries independent data, and develop ecological indiceswhich can be integrated into stock assessment models.Analysis of data gathered during the project's first research cruise is yielding preliminaryresults. A total of 26,809 fish larvae were collected from the Grammanik and Red Hind Banks and surroundingregions. Of this total, 585 Serranidae (grouper) and 93 Lutjanidae (snapper) larval specimens were collected.Typical sampling transects included near-shore, shelf-break, and offshore regimes. The most economicallyimportant species were recovered at the near-shore sites, south of St. Thomas, St. John, and British VirginIslands and not on the reef /shelf-break sites as expected. Concurrent Lagrangian drifter trajectories andshipboard ADCP measurements showed a high degree of variability in regional surface water flow. Possibletransport pathways as related to the spatial distribution of the larvae collected and the physical oceanographyobserved will be discussed.

These range from hourly flow forecasts to seasonal volume outlooks. The officeprovides forecasts for two distinct hydrologic regimes. In the Upper Colorado River Basin, winter precipitation ispredominately in the form of snow which accumulates over the winter months then completely melts during thespring. Accurately simulating the spatial extent and quantity of snow-water equivalency in these areas is vital toseasonal water supply forecasting and short term stream flow forecasting. Within the Lower Colorado, themonsoon brings convective storms characterized by relatively small spatially extent with high intensities. Bothregimes present challenges to the current lumped model forecast system. The CBRFC believes that awidespread implementation of the National Weather Service's Office of Hydrologic Development's ResearchDistributed Hydrologic Model (RDHM) will increase the ability to simulate and predict surface hydrologic response in the Upper and Lower Colorado River Basins.In this paper, the steps that the CBRFC has taken towards implementation of RDHM are described. The first stepwas a translation of the lumped parameters and atmospheric forcings into the RDHM architecture for purposes of direct comparison between the current lumped model and the RDHM in a snow dominated basin. Then, a 25-year precipitation and surface temperature calibration dataset was developed. Additionally, a strategy toautomate and display the output within the operational Interactive Forecast Program was outlined andimplemented. Results and observations from this process are identified, and areas of further work arediscussed. There exist biases in the PRISM temperature grids. There is an apparent inability of the coarse-resolution PRISM precipitation grids to accurately scale precipitation over large elevation differences. Finally, asimple dynamic ET equation based on temperature and precipitation.

A review of Climate Literacy essential principles and fundamental concepts that ensure climate literate citizens and students AN - 1521411780; 8511503 AB - Through a partnership between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and AAAS Project2061 and other partners we have collaborated to define climate literacy and develop weather and climatebenchmarks for science literacy. The newly developed and revised national weather and climate scienceeducation standards were published in March of 2007 in the AAAS Project 2061 Atlas for Science Literacy volumeII. This session will present the results of these projects as well as the publication of "An Abbreviated Guide forTeaching Climate Change." The Climate Literacy effort is worked in parallel with the Ocean Literacy effort and has developed a Framework for Climate Literacy using the AAAS Project 2061 Atlas of Science. During thedevelopment of the climate literacy framework federal science agencies, formal and informal educators, non-governmental organizations, and other institutions involved with climate research, education, and outreach tobuild on the science education benchmarks. This effort resulted in a framework that will be used to engage thebroad community to develop a robust conceptual framework that addresses the essential principles andfundamental concepts that climate literate citizens and students should know.

The emergence and application of these measurements adds a new dimension to air quality management and forecasting by enabling consistent observations of pollutants over large spatial domains. Current instruments aboard NASA and European Space Agency satellites can provide derived measurements of trace gases and aerosols relating directly to most of the EPA's criteria pollutants: ozone, NO2, SO2, CO, and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5). Al-Saadi et. al., (2005) provided one of the first demonstrations on the use of AOD as a forecast tool for PM2.5 through IDEA, Infusing satellite Data into Environmental air quality Applications, a joint project between NASA, EPA, and NOAA. We have developed a new approach for forecasting aerosol and ozone precursor levels that utilizes ReverseDomain Filling [Sutton, 1994] techniques and measurements of NO2 from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) onboard the NASA Aura satellite and aerosol optical depth (AOD) from NOAA's operational geostationary satellite retrievals [Knapp et al., 2002 and Prados et al. 2007]. Using the LaRC trajectory model [Pierce and Fairlie, 1993],72-hr back-trajectories are initialized on a uniform grid (0.25° x 0.25°) at the surface over the Midwestern US. Coincidences between the back-trajectories and previous OMI NO2 and GOES AOD observations are identified and used to map the satellite observations back onto the uniform grid at the forecast time. The resulting RDF mapped NO2 forecast is valid at 21Z on the next day. This talk will present a case study for May 2007 over the Western Great Lakes Region. We present a comparison of the RDF forecast to an RDF forecast based on hourly NO2 and SO2 emissions used for CAMx Air Quality Model along with a comparison to in-situ concentrations of PM2.5 and O3.Disclaimer: Although this work was reviewed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, National Oceanic andAtmospheric Administration, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and approved for publication, it may not necessarily reflect official Agency policy.

Controls on incision locations are hierarchically nested. A first-order geological control defines locations of channels prone to incision, and a second-order control determines which of these channels are incised. Channels prone to incision are reaches with silt-dominated valley fills, which have sediment source areas dominated by loess deposits and channel slopes less than 0·1(area)-0·45. Among channels prone to incision, channels below a second slope-area threshold (slope = 0·15(area)-0·8) did not incise. Once incised, channels follow two different evolution models. Small, deeply incised channels follow Model I, which is characterized by the absence of a significant widening phase following incision. Widening is limited by accumulation of bank failure deposits at the base of banks, which reduces lateral channel migration. Larger channels follow Model II, in which widening is followed by development of an inset floodplain and aggradation. In contrast to patterns observed elsewhere, we found the widest incised channels upstream of narrower reaches, which reflects a downstream decrease in bed load supply. Based on literature values of floodplain aggradation rates, we estimate recovery times for incised channels (the time required to reconnect to the historical floodplain) between 60 and 275 years. Restoration actions such as allowing modest beaver recolonization can decrease recovery time by 17-33 per cent. Published in 2007 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Because color change can take a day or so in some species, movement between sediments with differing color or texture may render fish more conspicuous to predators. We conducted laboratory experiments to test the following hypotheses related to adaptive color change in flatfish: 1) fish which do not cryptically match sediment will be more vulnerable to predation, 2) fish will reduce activity and bury to minimize conspicuousness when on a sediment they mismatch, and 3) fish will choose a sediment they match when given a choice. Experiments were conducted using three co-occurring north Pacific juvenile flatfishes: English sole Parophrys vetulus, northern rock sole Lepidopsetta polyxystra and Pacific halibut Hippoglossus stenolepis. As per expectations, juvenile flatfish were more vulnerable to visual predators when they mismatched sediment. Mismatched fish tended to behave differently than fish which matched the sediment. Rather than burying and becoming inactive, they became more active and less likely to bury, perhaps contributing to their predation vulnerability. This increased activity may have represented search for better matching sediment, a stress response, or conspicuousness-related density dependent behavior. Fish which had acclimated to light colored sediment preferred light over dark sediment in choice trials. In contrast, fish acclimated to dark sediment demonstrated no preference. These experiments demonstrate that adaptive coloration is an integral part of the flatfish detection minimization strategy and that movement between habitats can increase risk of predation.

AN - 36413181; 13392 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an environmental water account (EWA) for the Sacramento and San Joaquin Delta Region of California is proposed. The delta region provides water to the majority of California's agriculture and to urban and industrial communities. The delta also provides habitat for numerous plant, animal, and fish species, including several endangered species. This dual role places the region at the center of an ongoing conflict between environmental and water supply interests. Within the delta, pumping plants operated by the federal Central Valley Project (CVP) and the State Water Project (SWP) move water from the delta to a system of canals and reservoirs for use by agricultural interests, communities, and wildlife refuges in the Central Valley, the Bay Area, and southern California, and along the central coast. Pumping water from the delta alters normal flow patterns and can threaten the recovery of endangered and threatened fish species unless the projection of those species is adopted as an operations parameter. Reduction of delta pumping for protection and recovery of fish habitat can, however, interrupt water supply deliveries, thereby reducing the reliability of California's water supply. The CALFED Bay-Delta Program is a collaborative effort of 23 federal and state agencies seeking to resolve these conflicts. Rivers affecting water resources associated with the delta include the American, Merced, Feather, Yuba, Sacramento, and San Joaquin rivers. The EWA would consist of two primary elements: the facilitation of fish population recovery through water acquisition and management and the use of the acquired water to replace water deliveries (or supplies) interrupted by changes in the SWP/CVP operations. The final EIS of January 2004 considered three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative. The action alternatives would involve the acquisition of EWA assets via stored surface water, stored groundwater, groundwater substitution, and crop idling purchases. EWA asset management would be achieved through source shifting, groundwater storage, and borrowing of project water. The action alternatives would differ primarily in actions taken to protect fish and the quantities of assets acquired. The proposed action would adopt a flexible interpretation of the CALFED directives, incorporating functionally equivalent purchases and actions within the framework of the directives. EWA agencies would adjust purchases of water to respond to differing hydrologic conditions and to take advantage of water acquisition/storage possibilities throughout the CVP and SWP service areas. This draft supplement to the final EIS presents no substantial changes in the nature of the project. However, the original implementation timeframe may be extended by up to four years. Moreover, several years have passed since the final EIS and the existing regulatory and environmental settings differ from those in 2004. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered. The proposed action would allow EWA agencies to acquire up to 600,000 acre-feet of water assets to address pump reductions and other fish conservation measures and to compensate the CVP/SWP for water otherwise lost due to such measures. EWA agencies would typically acquire only 200,000 to 300,000 acre-feet annually, except in years with extreme fish conservation needs. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The EWA, which is provided for under the CALFED Programmatic EIS/Environmental Impact Report Record of Decision, would assist in fish population recovery for at-risk native fish species and increase water supply reliability by reducing uncertainty associated with fish recovery actions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Water withdrawals, storage, and releases would affect surface water supply and management regimes, water quality, groundwater levels and groundwater quality, wind-born soil losses, air quality due to pump operations, fisheries and aquatic ecosystems, vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, regional agricultural economics, agricultural land use, agricultural social values, recreational resources, flood control capacities, hydropower production, cultural resource sites, visual aesthetics, groundwater that constitutes Indian Trust Assets.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - ENVIRONMENTAL WATER ACCOUNT, SACRAMENTO AND SAN JOAQUIN DELTA REGION, CALIFORNIA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 2004). AN - 36388023; 13392-080158_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an environmental water account (EWA) for the Sacramento and San Joaquin Delta Region of California is proposed. The delta region provides water to the majority of California's agriculture and to urban and industrial communities. The delta also provides habitat for numerous plant, animal, and fish species, including several endangered species. This dual role places the region at the center of an ongoing conflict between environmental and water supply interests. Within the delta, pumping plants operated by the federal Central Valley Project (CVP) and the State Water Project (SWP) move water from the delta to a system of canals and reservoirs for use by agricultural interests, communities, and wildlife refuges in the Central Valley, the Bay Area, and southern California, and along the central coast. Pumping water from the delta alters normal flow patterns and can threaten the recovery of endangered and threatened fish species unless the projection of those species is adopted as an operations parameter. Reduction of delta pumping for protection and recovery of fish habitat can, however, interrupt water supply deliveries, thereby reducing the reliability of California's water supply. The CALFED Bay-Delta Program is a collaborative effort of 23 federal and state agencies seeking to resolve these conflicts. Rivers affecting water resources associated with the delta include the American, Merced, Feather, Yuba, Sacramento, and San Joaquin rivers. The EWA would consist of two primary elements: the facilitation of fish population recovery through water acquisition and management and the use of the acquired water to replace water deliveries (or supplies) interrupted by changes in the SWP/CVP operations. The final EIS of January 2004 considered three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative. The action alternatives would involve the acquisition of EWA assets via stored surface water, stored groundwater, groundwater substitution, and crop idling purchases. EWA asset management would be achieved through source shifting, groundwater storage, and borrowing of project water. The action alternatives would differ primarily in actions taken to protect fish and the quantities of assets acquired. The proposed action would adopt a flexible interpretation of the CALFED directives, incorporating functionally equivalent purchases and actions within the framework of the directives. EWA agencies would adjust purchases of water to respond to differing hydrologic conditions and to take advantage of water acquisition/storage possibilities throughout the CVP and SWP service areas. This draft supplement to the final EIS presents no substantial changes in the nature of the project. However, the original implementation timeframe may be extended by up to four years. Moreover, several years have passed since the final EIS and the existing regulatory and environmental settings differ from those in 2004. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered. The proposed action would allow EWA agencies to acquire up to 600,000 acre-feet of water assets to address pump reductions and other fish conservation measures and to compensate the CVP/SWP for water otherwise lost due to such measures. EWA agencies would typically acquire only 200,000 to 300,000 acre-feet annually, except in years with extreme fish conservation needs. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The EWA, which is provided for under the CALFED Programmatic EIS/Environmental Impact Report Record of Decision, would assist in fish population recovery for at-risk native fish species and increase water supply reliability by reducing uncertainty associated with fish recovery actions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Water withdrawals, storage, and releases would affect surface water supply and management regimes, water quality, groundwater levels and groundwater quality, wind-born soil losses, air quality due to pump operations, fisheries and aquatic ecosystems, vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, regional agricultural economics, agricultural land use, agricultural social values, recreational resources, flood control capacities, hydropower production, cultural resource sites, visual aesthetics, groundwater that constitutes Indian Trust Assets.

AN - 36424258; 13388 AB - PURPOSE: The rehabilitation or replacement of the Harry W. Kelly Memorial Bridge across Sinepuxent Bay in Ocean City, Worcester County, Maryland is proposed in this draft EIS. The study corridor extends westward from Maryland Highway (MD) 611 to MD 378. US 50 is a primary highway connecting Ocean City to points west, including the remainder of the Delmarva Peninsula, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, and the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The 64-year-old bridge is considered functionally obsolete due to its narrow curb-to-curb roadway width, which is substandard for the traffic volumes that it accommodates, particularly during summer months when recreational traffic is particularly heavy. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in detail in this draft EIS. Alternative 2 would involve rehabilitation of the existing bridge, along with the addition of a separate fishing pier, wider sidewalks, and aesthetic improvements. Alternative 4 would provide for new slightly curved high-level fixed span bridge with four lanes, retaining the existing bridge for use by bicyclists, pedestrians, and fisherman. Alternative 5 would provide for a new four-lane bridge just south of the existing US 50 crossing, tying back into Division Street. The bridge would have a higher draw span to reduce the number of bridge openings. This alternative would also retain the existing bridge as a separate facility for pedestrians, bicyclists, and fishermen. Alternative 5A would include a new four-lane bridge just north of the existing US 50 crossing, typing back into Division Street. Except for the location of the crossing, Alternative 5A would mimic Alternative 5. Alternatives 3, 6, and 7 were dropped from detailed consideration. Costs of Alternatives 2, 4, 5, and 5A are estimated at $107 million, $340 million, $289 million, and $268 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would rectify the operational inadequacies and structural deficiencies of the bridge as well as improve the safety for all users of the US 50 crossing of the Sinepuxent Bay. The new bridge would provide a safe and efficient crossing of the bay not only for the hundreds of thousands who access Ocean City each summer, but also for residents and recreationists who will use the crossing as a hurricane evacuation route. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for new bridge construction (Alternative 4, 5, and 5a) three to 5.5 acres would the displacement of two to 12 businesses and six to 13 residences. New build alternatives would also result in the partial loss of a small tidal wetland along the north side of US 50 at the western edge of the bay. New build alternatives would encroach 1.1 to 4.3 acres of 100-year floodplain. The project would create 0.5 to 5.6 acres of new impervious surface, increasing stormwater runoff into the bay. Dredging and other construction activities would disturb bay bottom sediments and cause fish to avoid the area temporarily, which is considered essential fish habitat. Marine turtles listed as protected by federal authorities could occur in the area during construction. Construction workers could encounter as many as 11 hazardous waste sites.

AN - 36404524; 13387 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the Snapper Grouper Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for the South Atlantic Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is proposed. Alternative FMP modifications would define allocations for snowy grouper and red porgy, update management reference points for golden tilefish, modify sale restrictions, implement a plan to monitor and assess bycatch, implement measures to minimize the impacts of incidental take of sea turtles and smalltooth sawfish, and/or modify permit renewal transferability requirements. The preferred alternative for snowy grouper allocation would base allocations on landings from Accumulative Landing System (ALS), Marine Recreational Fisheries Statistical Survey (MRFSS), and headboat databases covering the years 1986 through 2005; the allocation would be 95 percent commercial and five percent recreational. The preferred alternative for red porgy would define allocations based on landings from ALS, MRFSS, and headboat databases covering the years 1986 through 2005; the allocation would be 68 percent commercial and 32 percent recreational. The preferred alternatives for addressing the sale of fish caught by recreationists would prohibit fishing in the snapper grouper fishery without a permit and sale of the catch, limit vessel size to those under 100 gross tons and the fishing party to six persons, and provide for certain definitional parameters with respect to a bona fide recreational vessel. Regarding the monitoring and assessment of bycatch, the preferred alternative would adopt the Atlantic Coastal Cooperative Statistics Program Release, Discard and Protected Species Module as the preferred methodology. Regarding sea turtle and smalltooth incidental take impact minimization, the preferred alternative would provide for immediate release following established protocols, with release guidelines and equipment to be onboard the vessel. Regarding permit renewal, the renewal period for commercial snapper grouper permits would be extended to one year after the permit expires. Regarding permit transferability, it would be allowed only within the immediate family of the permit holder. This draft supplement for the final EIS of November 2007 updates the economic analysis for the bag limit sale provision in the proposed amendment. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed amendment to the FMP would support recent efforts to end overfishing of targeted species, achieving conservation goals and rebuilding the overfished stocks, while minimizing to the extent practicable adverse socioeconomic impacts. Measures to reduce incidental take and other forms of bycatch and to respond appropriately to bycatch when it does occur would reduce nontarget species mortality and morbidity, particularly among smalltooth sawfish and sea turtle. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Restrictions on vessels and fishing gear and, in some areas, quota allocations would affect both commercial and commercially viable recreational interests operating with the fishery, including fishing vessel operators and food processors; some indirect socioeconomic impacts to related industries and dependent communities could result. Administrative workloads and costs related to managing the fishery would increase somewhat. LEGAL MANDATES: Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.).

[Part 1 of 2] T2 - AMENDMENT 15B TO THE FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE SNAPPER GROUPER FISHERY OF THE SOUTH ATLANTIC REGION (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT OF NOVEMBER 2007). AN - 36388026; 13387-080153_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the Snapper Grouper Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for the South Atlantic Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is proposed. Alternative FMP modifications would define allocations for snowy grouper and red porgy, update management reference points for golden tilefish, modify sale restrictions, implement a plan to monitor and assess bycatch, implement measures to minimize the impacts of incidental take of sea turtles and smalltooth sawfish, and/or modify permit renewal transferability requirements. The preferred alternative for snowy grouper allocation would base allocations on landings from Accumulative Landing System (ALS), Marine Recreational Fisheries Statistical Survey (MRFSS), and headboat databases covering the years 1986 through 2005; the allocation would be 95 percent commercial and five percent recreational. The preferred alternative for red porgy would define allocations based on landings from ALS, MRFSS, and headboat databases covering the years 1986 through 2005; the allocation would be 68 percent commercial and 32 percent recreational. The preferred alternatives for addressing the sale of fish caught by recreationists would prohibit fishing in the snapper grouper fishery without a permit and sale of the catch, limit vessel size to those under 100 gross tons and the fishing party to six persons, and provide for certain definitional parameters with respect to a bona fide recreational vessel. Regarding the monitoring and assessment of bycatch, the preferred alternative would adopt the Atlantic Coastal Cooperative Statistics Program Release, Discard and Protected Species Module as the preferred methodology. Regarding sea turtle and smalltooth incidental take impact minimization, the preferred alternative would provide for immediate release following established protocols, with release guidelines and equipment to be onboard the vessel. Regarding permit renewal, the renewal period for commercial snapper grouper permits would be extended to one year after the permit expires. Regarding permit transferability, it would be allowed only within the immediate family of the permit holder. This draft supplement for the final EIS of November 2007 updates the economic analysis for the bag limit sale provision in the proposed amendment. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed amendment to the FMP would support recent efforts to end overfishing of targeted species, achieving conservation goals and rebuilding the overfished stocks, while minimizing to the extent practicable adverse socioeconomic impacts. Measures to reduce incidental take and other forms of bycatch and to respond appropriately to bycatch when it does occur would reduce nontarget species mortality and morbidity, particularly among smalltooth sawfish and sea turtle. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Restrictions on vessels and fishing gear and, in some areas, quota allocations would affect both commercial and commercially viable recreational interests operating with the fishery, including fishing vessel operators and food processors; some indirect socioeconomic impacts to related industries and dependent communities could result. Administrative workloads and costs related to managing the fishery would increase somewhat. LEGAL MANDATES: Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.).

AN - 36387827; 13388-080154_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The rehabilitation or replacement of the Harry W. Kelly Memorial Bridge across Sinepuxent Bay in Ocean City, Worcester County, Maryland is proposed in this draft EIS. The study corridor extends westward from Maryland Highway (MD) 611 to MD 378. US 50 is a primary highway connecting Ocean City to points west, including the remainder of the Delmarva Peninsula, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, and the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The 64-year-old bridge is considered functionally obsolete due to its narrow curb-to-curb roadway width, which is substandard for the traffic volumes that it accommodates, particularly during summer months when recreational traffic is particularly heavy. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in detail in this draft EIS. Alternative 2 would involve rehabilitation of the existing bridge, along with the addition of a separate fishing pier, wider sidewalks, and aesthetic improvements. Alternative 4 would provide for new slightly curved high-level fixed span bridge with four lanes, retaining the existing bridge for use by bicyclists, pedestrians, and fisherman. Alternative 5 would provide for a new four-lane bridge just south of the existing US 50 crossing, tying back into Division Street. The bridge would have a higher draw span to reduce the number of bridge openings. This alternative would also retain the existing bridge as a separate facility for pedestrians, bicyclists, and fishermen. Alternative 5A would include a new four-lane bridge just north of the existing US 50 crossing, typing back into Division Street. Except for the location of the crossing, Alternative 5A would mimic Alternative 5. Alternatives 3, 6, and 7 were dropped from detailed consideration. Costs of Alternatives 2, 4, 5, and 5A are estimated at $107 million, $340 million, $289 million, and $268 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would rectify the operational inadequacies and structural deficiencies of the bridge as well as improve the safety for all users of the US 50 crossing of the Sinepuxent Bay. The new bridge would provide a safe and efficient crossing of the bay not only for the hundreds of thousands who access Ocean City each summer, but also for residents and recreationists who will use the crossing as a hurricane evacuation route. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for new bridge construction (Alternative 4, 5, and 5a) three to 5.5 acres would the displacement of two to 12 businesses and six to 13 residences. New build alternatives would also result in the partial loss of a small tidal wetland along the north side of US 50 at the western edge of the bay. New build alternatives would encroach 1.1 to 4.3 acres of 100-year floodplain. The project would create 0.5 to 5.6 acres of new impervious surface, increasing stormwater runoff into the bay. Dredging and other construction activities would disturb bay bottom sediments and cause fish to avoid the area temporarily, which is considered essential fish habitat. Marine turtles listed as protected by federal authorities could occur in the area during construction. Construction workers could encounter as many as 11 hazardous waste sites.

[Part 1 of 2] T2 - SNAPPER GROUPER AMENDMENT 16 (GAG AND VERMILLION SNAPPER) OF THE SOUTH ATLANTIC REGION. AN - 36388520; 13384-080150_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the fishery management plan (FMP) for the South Atlantic snapper grouper fishery is proposed to address new developments in the gag and vermilion snapper subfisheries. Recent assessments have indicated that the target species are being overfished. Pending the outcome of a new benchmark assessment of Vermillion populations, the regional administrator can make adjustments to commercial and recreational management measures. The amendment would also specify the total allowable catch (TAC) and define interim allocations for gag and vermillion snapper, update management reference points for the two species, and reduce bycatch of other snapper grouper species. Since a new benchmark assessment for vermillion snapper is ongoing, this amendment includes an action that would allow the regional administrator to make the necessary adjustments to management measures to end overfishing. This draft EIS addresses alternatives that specify interim allocations for the commercial and recreational sectors for the two species. The amendment would also implement new status determination criteria for gag and vermilion snapper, including maximum sustainable yield (MSY), optimum yield (OY), and minimum stock size threshold, which reflect current scientific information as provided by the assessments and approved by the Scientific and Statistical Committee. In addition, the amendment would include alternatives what would require fishing gear alterations designed to reduce bycatch of nontarget snapper grouper species. The preferred alternatives for gag snapper would establish MSY and OY of 1.22 million pounds, a TAC of 694,000 pounds gutted , a commercial quota of 353,940 pounds gutted, a directed commercial quota allocations of 223,411 pounds gutted for North and South Carolina and 129,529 pounds gutted to Georgia and Florida, and a recreational quota of 340,060 pounds gutted. In addition, the FMP amendment would establish a gag seasonal fishery closure from January through April. Additional preferred recreational measures would reduce the five-grouper aggregate bag limit to three grouper, reduce the existing two gag or black grouper to one gag or black groups within the grouper aggregate bag limit, and prohibit the captain and crew on charter vessels from possessing a bag limit for grouper. The preferred alternatives for vermilion snapper would establish MSY and OY of 2.7 million pounds, an interim TAC of 566,179 million pounds gutted, a commercial quota of 385,002 pounds gutted, a directed commercial quota allocations of 68 percent of the commercial quota for North and South Carolina and 32 percent to Georgia and Florida, and a recreational quota of 201,107 pounds gutted. In addition, the FMP amendment would divide the directed commercial quota into seasons, with 50 percent available from January through June and 50 percent available from July through December, with transfer any remaining quota from the first half of the year to the second half of the year; reduce the bag limit for vermilion snapper from 10 fish to four fish; close the fishery from October through May 15; require specific gear alterations to reduce bycatch of nontarget snapper grouper species for both commercial and recreational fisheries, and allow the regional administrator to adjust the management measures regarding seasonal quotas and associated catch size limits based on the outcome of the ongoing benchmark assessment. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The amendment would either alter current management measures or implement new management measures that would reduce current harvest levels to yields associated with the OPY and end overfishing of gag and vermilion snapper in the South Atlantic NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Seasonal closures and reduced allocations could create short-term economic hardships for some commercial operators and recreational charter boat operators. Commercial fishing interests other than vessel operators, particularly fish processing companies, could also experience declines in gross annual revenue due to supply shortages. Gear restrictions would add expense to operating costs of vessel owners. LEGAL MANDATES: Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.).

This plume, originally strongly polluted, was sampled by research aircraft just off the North American east coast on 3 successive days, and 3 days downwind off the west coast of Ireland where another aircraft re-sampled a weakly polluted plume. Changes in trace gas concentrations during transport were reproduced using a photochemical trajectory model including deposition and mixing effects. Chemical and wet deposition processing dominated the evolution of all pollutants in the plume. The mean net O sub(3) production was evaluated to be -5 ppbv/day leading to low values of O sub(3) by the time the plume reached Europe. Wet deposition of nitric acid was responsible for an 80% reduction in this O sub(3) production. If the plume had not encountered precipitation, it would have reached the Europe with O sub(3) levels up to 80-90 ppbv, and CO levels between 120 and 140 ppbv. Photochemical destruction also played a more important role than mixing in the evolution of plume CO due to high levels of both O sub(3) and water vapour showing that CO cannot always be used as a tracer for polluted air masses, especially for plumes transported at low altitudes. The results also show that, in this case, an important increase in the O sub(3)/CO slope can be attributed to chemical destruction of CO and not to photochemical O sub(3) production as is often assumed.

AN - 36415852; 13380 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the consolidated the fishery management plan (FMP) for highly migratory species, including Atlantic tuna, swordfish, and shark and Atlantic billfish FMP, are proposed. In 2003, the National Marine Fisheries Service began the process of amending the FMP for Atlantic tuna, swordfish, and sharks and the Atlantic Billfish FMP; all species of concern are considered highly migratory species. After considering comments on a scoping paper and on a pre-draft EIS document, the Service decided to consolidate these FMPs. Prior to that date, tunas, swordfish, and sharks were managed under the 1999 FMP for these fisheries, which was amended in 2003, while billfish were managed under the 1988 Atlantic billfish FMP, and its 1999 amendment. This final EIS considers alternatives for implementation of management measures consistent with recent stock assessments for sandbar, porbeagle, blacktip, and large coastal sharks; initiation of rebuilding plans for porbeagle, dusky, and sandbar sharks; implementation of commercial quotas and retention limits consistent with stock assessment recommendations to prevent overfishing and rebuild overfished stocks; modification of recreational measures to reduce fishing mortality in overfished/overfishing stocks, modification of reporting requirements; modification timing of shard stock assessments; clarification of the timing of release for the annual stock assessment and fishery evaluation reports, updating of the dehooking requirements for smalltooth sawfish, collection of shark life history information through the implementation of a shark research program, and possible establishment of additional time/area closures proposed by the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The amended FMP would make necessary adjustments in the management of the fishery and provide for a more adaptive approach to adjustment of the FMP in the future. Monitoring and research activities would ensure up-to-date information on which to make future fishery decisions. The amendment would streamline management from the administrative and enforcement angles and clarify FMP rules for fishery operators. Overall, the promotion of the fishery resources within the scope of the consolidated FMP would be enhanced, while economic exigencies of users of the fisheries would have their resource protected for continued use. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some FMP restrictions, particularly gear restrictions and area and time closures, could negatively affect he socioeconomic situation of fishing communities and fish processing concerns and their workers. LEGAL MANDATES: Atlantic Tuna Convention Act and Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.).

PETERSBURG BLOCKS PB545, PB589, AND PB590, OUTER CONTINENTAL SHELF OFF THE WESTERN COAST OF FLORIDA IN GULF OF MEXICO. [Part 1 of 3] T2 - PORT DOLPHIN LLC DEEPWATER PORT LICENSE APPLICATION, ST. PETERSBURG BLOCKS PB545, PB589, AND PB590, OUTER CONTINENTAL SHELF OFF THE WESTERN COAST OF FLORIDA IN GULF OF MEXICO. AN - 36394779; 13383-080149_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a deepwater liquefied natural gas (LNG) port in the federal waters of the outer continental shelf (OCS) are proposed by Port Dolphin Energy LLC. The facility, to be known as Port Dolphin, would be located 28 miles off the west coast of Florida to the southwest of Tampa Bay and extend to 100 feet beneath the surface of the water of water. The port would consist of a permanently moored unloading buoy system with two submersible buoys separated by a distance of three miles. Each unloading buoy would be permanently secured to eight mooring lines consisting of wire rope, chain, and buoyancy elements. Each mooring buoy would be attached to anchor points on the seabed; the anchor points would most likely consist of driven piles. The buoys would be designed to moor a specialized type of LNG vessel known as a shuttle and regasification vessel (SRV) with capacities of between 145,000 and 217,000 cubic meters. SRVs are equipped to vaporize cryogenic LNG cargo to natural gas through onboard closed loop vaporization systems. SRVs are also equipped to odorize and meter gas for send-out by means of the unloading buoy to conventional subsea pipelines. The SRVs would moor to the unloading buoys which connect through the hull of the vessels to specially designed turrets that would enable the vessel to weathervane or rotate in response to prevailing wind, wave, and current directions. When the vessels were not present, the buoys would be submerged on a special landing pad on the seabed, 60 to 70 feet below the sea surface. Each unloading buoy would connect through a 16-inch-diameter flexible riser and 36-inch-diameter flowline to a Y intersection and thence a 36-inch-diameter pipeline extending 42 miles to Port Manatee in Manatee County, Florida. The pipeline would connect with the Gulfstream Natural Gas System and the Tampa Electric Company (TECO) pipeline system. The 36-inch pipeline would make landfall on Port Manatee property, whence it would extend in a generally easterly direction to the first interconnection point with the Gulfstream System interconnection station site, which would occupy two acres. Up to 80 percent of the daily flow of gas (800 million cubic feet) would be delivered to the Gulfstream System. The remainder of the natural gas from the Port Dolphin would be transported by 14-inch pipeline to the TECO interconnection station, located 5.8 miles east of the Gulfstream interconnection station. Only SRVs would call on Port Dolphin. Offloading of an SRV would require four to eight days. Initially, the port would be capable of a natural gas throughput of 400 million square feet per day, with an eventual daily output of 1,200 million square feet. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers two alternative deepwater port locations, both of which are off the coast of Florida; various alternative LNG transshipment technologies; and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The port would help provide a reliable and timely supply of natural gas and to increase energy source diversity in the United States. The port would not interfere with international navigation or other reasonable uses of the high seas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Buoy anchoring and related seabed work and pipeline construction would result in disturbance of the benthic environment and creation of turbidity in the water column in the immediate areas. Operational activities would result in similar disturbances in the immediate area of the port as well as releases of high-saline water into the area. Use of seawater in the vaporization of LNG would involve returning the seawater, after treatment with various biocides, back into the ambient ocean. Several million gallons of seawater per day would pass through the vaporization system. Operation of the vaporization system would destroy entrained ichthyoplankton, fish eggs and larvae, and fish in the early stages of life. The port would mar visual aesthetics for commercial and recreational vessel users. Pipeline construction would disturb benthic habitat and destroy sessile benthos and the pipeline rights-of-way would traverse vegetated wildlife habitat, including coastal wetlands and inland wetlands.

AN - 36390319; 13380-080146_0004 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the consolidated the fishery management plan (FMP) for highly migratory species, including Atlantic tuna, swordfish, and shark and Atlantic billfish FMP, are proposed. In 2003, the National Marine Fisheries Service began the process of amending the FMP for Atlantic tuna, swordfish, and sharks and the Atlantic Billfish FMP; all species of concern are considered highly migratory species. After considering comments on a scoping paper and on a pre-draft EIS document, the Service decided to consolidate these FMPs. Prior to that date, tunas, swordfish, and sharks were managed under the 1999 FMP for these fisheries, which was amended in 2003, while billfish were managed under the 1988 Atlantic billfish FMP, and its 1999 amendment. This final EIS considers alternatives for implementation of management measures consistent with recent stock assessments for sandbar, porbeagle, blacktip, and large coastal sharks; initiation of rebuilding plans for porbeagle, dusky, and sandbar sharks; implementation of commercial quotas and retention limits consistent with stock assessment recommendations to prevent overfishing and rebuild overfished stocks; modification of recreational measures to reduce fishing mortality in overfished/overfishing stocks, modification of reporting requirements; modification timing of shard stock assessments; clarification of the timing of release for the annual stock assessment and fishery evaluation reports, updating of the dehooking requirements for smalltooth sawfish, collection of shark life history information through the implementation of a shark research program, and possible establishment of additional time/area closures proposed by the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The amended FMP would make necessary adjustments in the management of the fishery and provide for a more adaptive approach to adjustment of the FMP in the future. Monitoring and research activities would ensure up-to-date information on which to make future fishery decisions. The amendment would streamline management from the administrative and enforcement angles and clarify FMP rules for fishery operators. Overall, the promotion of the fishery resources within the scope of the consolidated FMP would be enhanced, while economic exigencies of users of the fisheries would have their resource protected for continued use. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some FMP restrictions, particularly gear restrictions and area and time closures, could negatively affect he socioeconomic situation of fishing communities and fish processing concerns and their workers.

AN - 36380916; 13383-080149_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a deepwater liquefied natural gas (LNG) port in the federal waters of the outer continental shelf (OCS) are proposed by Port Dolphin Energy LLC. The facility, to be known as Port Dolphin, would be located 28 miles off the west coast of Florida to the southwest of Tampa Bay and extend to 100 feet beneath the surface of the water of water. The port would consist of a permanently moored unloading buoy system with two submersible buoys separated by a distance of three miles. Each unloading buoy would be permanently secured to eight mooring lines consisting of wire rope, chain, and buoyancy elements. Each mooring buoy would be attached to anchor points on the seabed; the anchor points would most likely consist of driven piles. The buoys would be designed to moor a specialized type of LNG vessel known as a shuttle and regasification vessel (SRV) with capacities of between 145,000 and 217,000 cubic meters. SRVs are equipped to vaporize cryogenic LNG cargo to natural gas through onboard closed loop vaporization systems. SRVs are also equipped to odorize and meter gas for send-out by means of the unloading buoy to conventional subsea pipelines. The SRVs would moor to the unloading buoys which connect through the hull of the vessels to specially designed turrets that would enable the vessel to weathervane or rotate in response to prevailing wind, wave, and current directions. When the vessels were not present, the buoys would be submerged on a special landing pad on the seabed, 60 to 70 feet below the sea surface. Each unloading buoy would connect through a 16-inch-diameter flexible riser and 36-inch-diameter flowline to a Y intersection and thence a 36-inch-diameter pipeline extending 42 miles to Port Manatee in Manatee County, Florida. The pipeline would connect with the Gulfstream Natural Gas System and the Tampa Electric Company (TECO) pipeline system. The 36-inch pipeline would make landfall on Port Manatee property, whence it would extend in a generally easterly direction to the first interconnection point with the Gulfstream System interconnection station site, which would occupy two acres. Up to 80 percent of the daily flow of gas (800 million cubic feet) would be delivered to the Gulfstream System. The remainder of the natural gas from the Port Dolphin would be transported by 14-inch pipeline to the TECO interconnection station, located 5.8 miles east of the Gulfstream interconnection station. Only SRVs would call on Port Dolphin. Offloading of an SRV would require four to eight days. Initially, the port would be capable of a natural gas throughput of 400 million square feet per day, with an eventual daily output of 1,200 million square feet. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers two alternative deepwater port locations, both of which are off the coast of Florida; various alternative LNG transshipment technologies; and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The port would help provide a reliable and timely supply of natural gas and to increase energy source diversity in the United States. The port would not interfere with international navigation or other reasonable uses of the high seas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Buoy anchoring and related seabed work and pipeline construction would result in disturbance of the benthic environment and creation of turbidity in the water column in the immediate areas. Operational activities would result in similar disturbances in the immediate area of the port as well as releases of high-saline water into the area. Use of seawater in the vaporization of LNG would involve returning the seawater, after treatment with various biocides, back into the ambient ocean. Several million gallons of seawater per day would pass through the vaporization system. Operation of the vaporization system would destroy entrained ichthyoplankton, fish eggs and larvae, and fish in the early stages of life. The port would mar visual aesthetics for commercial and recreational vessel users. Pipeline construction would disturb benthic habitat and destroy sessile benthos and the pipeline rights-of-way would traverse vegetated wildlife habitat, including coastal wetlands and inland wetlands.

AN - 36375142; 13383-080149_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a deepwater liquefied natural gas (LNG) port in the federal waters of the outer continental shelf (OCS) are proposed by Port Dolphin Energy LLC. The facility, to be known as Port Dolphin, would be located 28 miles off the west coast of Florida to the southwest of Tampa Bay and extend to 100 feet beneath the surface of the water of water. The port would consist of a permanently moored unloading buoy system with two submersible buoys separated by a distance of three miles. Each unloading buoy would be permanently secured to eight mooring lines consisting of wire rope, chain, and buoyancy elements. Each mooring buoy would be attached to anchor points on the seabed; the anchor points would most likely consist of driven piles. The buoys would be designed to moor a specialized type of LNG vessel known as a shuttle and regasification vessel (SRV) with capacities of between 145,000 and 217,000 cubic meters. SRVs are equipped to vaporize cryogenic LNG cargo to natural gas through onboard closed loop vaporization systems. SRVs are also equipped to odorize and meter gas for send-out by means of the unloading buoy to conventional subsea pipelines. The SRVs would moor to the unloading buoys which connect through the hull of the vessels to specially designed turrets that would enable the vessel to weathervane or rotate in response to prevailing wind, wave, and current directions.

AN - 36410633; 13372 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the Gulf of Mexico reef fish fishery management plan (FMP) is proposed to address stock rebuilding and overfishing of greater amberjack and gray triggerfish. Greater amberjack have been under a rebuilding plan since 2003. In 2006, a new stock assessment was completed and determined that the stock was not recovering at the rate previously projected. The stock continues to be overfished. Gray triggerfish populations are also suffering from overfishing, but the exact extent of overfishing is not currently known as the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council) has yet to define a threshold for declaring the species overfished; based on the preferred threshold in the amendment at hand, the stock is overfished. Measures considered in this final EIS on the amendment include modification of the rebuilding plan for greater amberjack and implementation of stronger accountability measures; evaluation of greater amberjack recreational and commercial management alternatives; establishment of thresholds and benchmarks for gray triggerfish; development of a gray triggerfish rebuilding plan and strengthening of the associated accountability measures; and implement regional management measures for gray triggerfish and measures to regulate recreational and commercial fishing for triggerfish. Specific management measures addressing the two target species would include commercial and recreational catch quotas and size limits, gear restrictions, and seasonal closures. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the amendment would end overfishing of amberjack and triggerfish in the Gulf and adjust catch levels and management measures to rebuild these stocks. The establishment of firm targets in the form of thresholds for triggerfish would allow the Council to gauge accurately the health and direction of the fishery and adjust the FMP accordingly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Catch quotas, size limits, gear restrictions, and area closures would reduce the economic viability of the commercial fishery as well as the charter segment of the recreational fishery and reduce the public's access to the affected recreational resources. More intensive management, particularly the implementation of accountability measures, would substantially increase the administrative burden involved in management the fisheries. Controversy over whether recreational or commercial fishing interests are responsible for the current condition of the fishery could be exacerbated by restrictions.

8185034 AB - Ciguatera is a common illness in tropical and subtropical regions that manifests in complex and long-lived symptoms which are more severe in subsequent exposures. This study measures central and peripheral neurologic signs, in parallel with blood toxin levels, in mice exposed once or twice (at 3 days interval) to a sublethal dose of ciguatoxin P-CTX-1 (0.26ng/g via i.p.). Mice were implanted with radiotransmitters to monitor motor activity and core temperature. A single exposure to ciguatoxin elicited an immediate and transient decrease in motor activity and temperature, and subsequent long-lasting thermoregulatory dysfunction resulting in stabilized body temperature around 36.0 super(o)C with no observable circadian rhythm. The hypothermic response and the reduced activity were enhanced with a second exposure with 30% of the mice dying within 7h. Measurement of the peripheral nervous system by the tail flick assay revealed increased latency with a single ciguatoxin exposure, and a greater effect following the second exposure. Toxin was measurable in blood up to 3 days following the first exposure; at the 1h time point the concentrations were significantly elevated after a second exposure. These findings indicate an early response to ciguatoxin manifest in a central response to lower body temperature and reduce motor activity and a more persistent effect on the peripheral system leading to spinal heat antinociception and delayed fever-like response. The greater neurological response to a second ciguatoxin exposure was associated with elevated concentrations of ciguatoxin in the blood solely over the first hour of exposure.

AN - 742774323; pmid-18396996 AB - Typically, sound speed in gases is smaller and mass density is much smaller than in liquids, resulting in a very strong acoustic impedance contrast at a gas-liquid interface. Sound transmission through a boundary with a strong impedance contrast is normally very weak. This paper studies the power output of localized sound sources and acoustic power fluxes through a plane gas-liquid interface in a layered medium. It is shown that, for low-frequency sound, a phenomenon of anomalous transparency can occur where most of the acoustic power generated by a source in a liquid half-space can be radiated into a gas half-space. The main physical mechanism responsible for anomalous transparency is found to be an acoustic power transfer by inhomogeneous (evanescent) waves in the plane-wave decomposition of the acoustic field in the liquid. The effects of a liquid's stratification and of guided sound propagation in the liquid on the anomalous transparency of the gas-liquid interface are considered. Geophysical and biological implications of anomalous transparency of water-air interface to infrasound are indicated.

Data from vibracores and hand samples have been taken from two offshore sites--Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary and J-Reef. Both sites are shallow (-20 mbsl) outcrops of Pliocene-Pleistocene age. Direct age determination using AMS-radiocarbon; Uranium Series and Optical Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) methods confirm this. Using analyses of sediments and inclusions, together with the geological mapping of outcrops/exposures, we have identified at least two new provisional members of the late Pleistocene marine sequence. Our results indicate a subaerial exposure from MIS 3 through late MIS 2 with the subsequent, post-LGM transgression. Our study indicates that survival of sedimento-logically observed markers for both relative sea level and at least one sequence boundary. Shell beds, observed at both reefs, are discussed as proxies for sea level and stratigraphy. Modern sediment supply has been reduced by anthropogenic activities and erosion now dominates the shallow, low accommodation space, marine margins of the inner-to-mid shelf of the Georgia Bight.

Holistic recovery strategies include: beach conservation protecting nesting females, their eggs, and critical breeding habitat to maximize hatchling production; enhanced at-sea survival of turtles on the high seas and in commercial coastal fisheries; and reduced artisanal coastal fisheries mortality of turtles. The traditional approach of focusing long-term sustained conservation efforts on the nesting beaches has by itself led to increases in several sea turtle populations. However, current conservation is inadequate to reverse declines in other cases such as the critically endangered leatherback populations in the Pacific. This article discusses policy instruments comprising a holistic recovery strategy that reconciles fishing with biodiversity conservation. Reprinted by permission of Taylor & Francis Ltd.

We assessed the bar spacing needed to exclude adult lampreys that enter the fishways at Bonneville Dam (river kilometer [rkm] 235). The experimental fish used (n = 242) ranged from 53 to 79 cm in total length and from 282 to 800 g in weight. All were able to swim through a 2.5-cm vertical gap, 47% passed through a 2.2-cm gap, and none passed through a gap of 1.9 cm or less. In dewatering simulations, none of the additional 50 Pacific lampreys tested were able to pass through a 1.9-cm diffuser grating, while 86% were able to pass through a traditional 2.5-cm grating. Based on these results, we conclude that bar spacing of 1.9 cm or less is needed to exclude most adult Pacific lampreys in the Columbia River drainage. An initial field test of the 1.9-cm grating at John Day Dam (rkm 347) confirmed these results.

These fringing salt marshes are sometimes incorporated into shoreline stabilization efforts. We obtained data on elevation, salinity, sediment characteristics, vegetation and fish utilization at three study sites containing both natural fringing marshes and nearby restored marshes located landward of a stone sill constructed for shoreline stabilization. During the study, sediment accretion rates in the restored marshes were approximately 1.5- to 2-fold greater than those recorded in the natural marshes. Natural fringing marsh sediments were predominantly sandy with a mean organic matter content ranging between 1.5 and 6.0%. Average S. alterniflora stem density in natural marshes ranged between 130 and 222 stems m super(-2), while mean maximum stem height exceeded 64 cm. After 3 years, one of the three restored marshes (NCMM) achieved S. alterniflora stem densities equivalent to that of the natural fringing marshes, while percentage cover and maximum stem heights were significantly greater in the natural than in the restored marshes at all sites. There was no significant difference in the mean number of fish, crabs or shrimp captured with fyke nets between the natural and restored marshes, and only the abundance of Palaemonetes vulgaris (grass shrimp) was significantly greater in the natural marshes than in the restored ones. Mean numbers of fish caught per 5 m of marsh front were similar to those reported in the literature from marshes adjacent to tidal creeks and channels, and ranged between 509 and 634 fish net super(-1). Most of the field data and some of the sample analyses were obtained by volunteers as they contributed 223 h of the total 300 h spent collecting data from three sites in one season. The use of fyke nets required twice as many man-hours as any other single task.

Therefore, WWF and CIAT began a sea turtle bycatch mitigation program in 2004, which aims at reducing incidental capture and mortality of marine turtles without affecting catches. At the same time it aims to research the efficiency of circular hooks in longline fisheries as well as the effect on reducing incidental capture of turtles. The project in Colombia has four stages: 1. Diagnosis; surveys fishermen in coastal communities from Valle del Cauca and south of Narino, in the border to Ecuador. 2. Institutional meetings have also been held with government officers, representatives from large and small-scale fisheries as well as fishermen's associations. These meetings and workshops were made possible with the support of the following organizations: The Colombian Institute for Rural Development (INCODER), Valle del Cauca Regional Environmental Authority - Pacific Section (CVC), the small-scale (artisanal) fishermen's associations (ANPAC, CORPACIFICO), the Industrial Fishing association (ACODIARPE), fishing companies Bahia Cupica and the South Pacific Community Councils Network (RECOMPAS). 3. Training observers to take information during fishing 4. Experiments; Probably, bottom longline fisheries are considerably less than some pelagic longline fisheries but in Colombia this kind of fishery is less common than other countries, and the major practice is bottom fisheries for catching species such as grouper (Epinephelus spp.) and Brotula clarkae. Therefore, the experiments for bottom fisheries are experimental lines with 500 hooks: 250 traditional "J" hooks (Number 7) and 250 circle hooks (Number 12 - analogous to tall traditional hooks). These are placed alternately on the principal line because it is necessary to have the same probability of capture. The experimental line is added to the traditional line and is operated at the same time. Those experiments have been in progress in two localities for same time now, Charambira and Gorgona National Park. Experiments in the Gorgona National Park were done in collaboration with the National Park Authority which has been monitoring bottom fisheries for 7 years approximately. On some trips in these locations, an observer took information about the capture of commercial fish and bycatch of sea turtles. The pelagic longline fisheries are seasonal from November until May for catching the dolphinfish, Coryphaena hippurus. Generally it is practiced by a small group of industrial fisherman and is less common in traditional fisheries because the local fisherman do not have the equipment needed. However the magnitude of this interaction between sea turtles and bottom longline fisheries is unknown. During approximately 120 trips, four events were reported in which olive ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) were caught with traditional "J" hooks. These hooks were found in the flippers of the individuals or wrapped around their necks and flippers, but only one was found in the experimental line and the other events were found in the traditional line to which the experimental line was added. The individuals caught were three females (one dead) and one male. The results will guide the focus of future trials and serve to promote the use of circle hooks in other communities of the Colombian Pacific and will encourage joint efforts with corresponding authorities such as INCODER.

The vessels of the longline fleets of the region are testing circle hooks of different sizes depending on the fishery, following an experimental design that should provide statistical evidence of the effect of the hooks with regards to sea turtle hooking rates, target catch rates, and location of hooks. A voluntary observer program is used to collect data, and to understand the fishing operations, and the interactions with the turtles. To complement this activity, instruments to release hooked turtles are provided freely to the fishers, and the techniques to handle and release turtles are explained. Frequent workshops with the fishing community, and other interested parties are another important component of the program. More than 600 observer trips have been made from ports in Peru, Ecuador, Panama, Costa Rica, El Salvador and Guatemala, covering over 1.5 million hooks. Results have been very promising throughout the region. Circle hooks size 16/0 have resulted in lower hooking rates, and in fewer deep hookings in the fisheries targeting tunas, billfishes and sharks. In the mahi-mahi (Coryphaena hippurus) fisheries, circle hooks sizes 13/0 and 14/0 have also reduced hooking rates but to a lesser extent. The experience acquired during the first years has allowed us to develop improved instruments, and techniques to release turtles, that are adapted to the species and sizes encountered in the region. This is probably the largest marine fisheries conservation effort ever organized in the region, with an ad-hoc network of collaborators who share two basic principles: a) no one wants to catch or kill turtles and b) no one wants to put fishermen out of business. This paper presents preliminary results of the experimental fishing trials for different fisheries in the EPO. Differences among fisheries across the region are also explained with respect to long-line rigging, duration of the fishing trip and the fishing operation. The potential of this project to accomplish sustainable fisheries is discussed. The project is supported financially, and technically by WWF, the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council (US), NOAA (US), the Overseas Fishery Cooperation Foundation (Japan), the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission, The Ocean Conservancy, and Defenders of Wildlife (Mexico). In every country, we count with the support and participation of the respective fisheries agencies, fishing industry and fishers organization, and national conservation organizations.

This area hosts a unique ecosystem with high marine biodiversity. The availability of a high diversity of algae, corals and sponges makes it a feeding and developmental habitat for immatures and adults of green (Chelonia mydas) and hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata). In addition, nesting of olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea), leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) and green turtles has been reported. For several generations, the Benga tribe, traditional fishermen of southern Equatorial Guinea and northern Gabon, have been exploiting green and hawksbill turtles through directed capture. While in the past turtle hunting was primarily for local consumption, today a large number (300-500 individuals per year) are captured to supply the growing demand for turtle meat from the cities of Bata (Equatorial Guinea) and Libreville (Gabon). The sale price of juveniles and adults varies between 55 and 110 Euros (72-143 US Dollars). Turtles are transported illegally within the country and through border zones, with disregard for national and international legislation, including CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) of which these countries are signatories. We will present capture data from Corisco Bay for 1999-2006, including species diversity, seasonal abundance and size classes. It is vitally important to continue working with the local communities to change consumption habits and decrease commercial demand, providing long-term alternatives to direct capture and reassessment of different marine resources.

We surveyed 127 Jamaican fishers in 5 locations during August and September 2006 to gain a preliminary understanding of sea turtle, marine mammal and sea bird bycatch in local fisheries. Eliciting information on prohibited activities such as sea turtle capture and the continuing opportunistic exploitation of turtles is often difficult and fishers were not directly surveyed regarding their fishing practices. However 27% of the 127 trawl, trap, and gillnet fishers interviewed about the timing, numbers, species and location of bycatch events, responded positively to the question of whether sea turtles were captured incidentally in fishing gear. Fish traps and gillnets ("china nets" and trammel nets) were gear types primarily identified in sea turtle bycatch, but this probably reflects the preponderance of those fishing gear in Jamaican waters. Our survey also suggests that juvenile hawksbills (3-20 kg) are caught in traps, while reports of bycatch of larger turtles were associated with the gillnet fisheries. This is the first study that specifically examines sea turtle bycatch in Jamaica and additional surveys incorporating a statistically robust sampling frame of fishers and their activities would aid in estimating bycatch levels. Since traps are the predominant fishing gear in the insular Caribbean, we recommend additional research to estimate the rate and size structure of hawksbills turtles caught in fish traps and coastal gillnets.

Thousands of endangered sea turtles die every year from ingesting plastic bags and the amount of litter on nesting beaches and associated with marine and coastal foraging grounds is staggering. To combat the challenge of plastic bag litter, we developed a program in Colombia to turn "trash" into products that could be sold in national and international markets. We trained a group of 12 women from a rural community in Los Limites to crochet using plastic bags which they collect, recycle, wash and sort. From these raw materials they create a colorful "eco-mochila," a crocheted tote bag constructed from 100-120 plastic grocery bags. More than 500,000 discarded plastic bags have been collected from rural communities, beach communities near Cartagena, and urban communities in Cartagena and Barranquilla to support this program. Eco-mochilas are sold in Colombia and internationally and the demand for these products has grown substantially since the project began in 2004. Recently we have partnered with the Wider Caribbean Sea Turtle Conservation Network (WIDECAST) to expand this program with the aim of greatly reducing the amount of plastic bag litter found near sea turtle nesting beaches in Costa Rica, Panama and Nicaragua. We selected community leaders and artisans from communities involved in protecting sea turtles through a variety of local efforts. These individuals went to Colombia and trained with local artisans to learn the techniques of making eco-mochilas. Trainees also brought with them examples of indigenous crafts from their areas, so that each community learned a variety of new skills, enhancing their efforts to utilize otherwise discarded materials and to create much-needed local income. The program has been a great success in that it not only enables communities to develop a product that provides a sustainable economic benefit but it also protects sea turtles by significantly reducing the amount of plastic bags in the environment. With the support of international sponsors such as Disney and WIDECAST in the creation of new markets, these communities reap ongoing benefits by their involvement in conservation efforts and have a direct economic incentive to keep the oceans and beaches free of plastic. Developing programs that reduce sea turtles exposure to plastics while empowering local people to learn new skills that provide them with a direct economic benefit is an example of how innovative solutions can be used to solve conservation challenges that positively impact impoverished communities and support the conservation of native biodiversity. Based on the success of this pilot effort, we will broaden peer-training opportunities to include dozens of communities involved with the protection of sea turtle nesting habitat throughout the Wider Caribbean Region.

Present day sea turtle populations throughout most of the region, including the island nation of Saint Kitts and Nevis, are severely depleted from what they were a century ago. While cooperative and collaborative action between Caribbean islands is crucial to the survival of migratory marine species, including sea turtles, conservation is most often undertaken at local levels. In order for communities to take action, and to ensure that these actions are rooted in the principals of sustainable use (whether that use be consumptive or non-consumptive), residents need to be more aware of the complexities of sea turtle biology and management issues. Because sea turtle conservation is a long-term challenge with generational solutions, it is important to educate those who will be accountable for the resolution of this problem in the future; the children. During a 3 month internship with the Nevis Department of Fisheries and the Nevis Turtle Group, I created a summer camp, "Sun, Sand and Sea Turtles" for local children. The camp was initiated as a collaboration between the Four Season's Resort and a local non-profit organization, The Nevis Turtle Group (NTG). The camp was free to local children (9-15 years old) and featured a 3-day curriculum. A gracious donation from the Four Seasons Resort provided the venue, snacks and registration fees for all participants. The program focused on the biology, threats (both man-made and natural) and conservation of sea turtles in the Caribbean Sea. Upon completion of the camp, 80 children were pronounced Junior Members of the Nevis Turtle Group, and invited to participate in nest monitoring efforts. As a result of educating Nevisian Youth, the NTG saw an elevated island-wide interest in sea turtle conservation, including increased participation of local adults in nighttime beach monitoring. Due to the overwhelming success of the camp, my master's research will focus on the production of a detailed and multilingual curriculum guide. The guide will be available to any interested party, allowing "Sun, Sand and Sea Turtles" to be replicated throughout the Caribbean region.

With the support of the community of Playa Junquillal (10 degree 09'42"N, 85 degree 48'32"E), Guanacaste, Costa Rica, the Project protects the nesting sites of three threatened marine turtle species: The giant leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea), the black turtle(Chelonia mydas agassizi), and the Olive Ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea). Although there are only 300 residents living in Junquillal, the rapid influx of tourism and development in the area, which has doubled in the last two years, has created a new set of challenges for both the Project and the community. The light pollution on the beach has considerably decreased the number of successful nests. For generations, it has been the local custom of residents in Junquillal, and other nearby communities, to consume turtle eggs. Until December 2004, 100% of both the olive ridley and the black turtle, and 75% of the giant leatherback nests were poached. To protect the threatened turtles, the Project has implemented various solutions to increase the hatching levels such as transplanting nests, constructing a hatchery, and involving community participation. Among the strategies used in this process of conservation are as follows: a) creating activities that involve the participation of foreign and local residents in turtle conservation, such as informative talks, workshops that promote responsible management of the environment, popluar recreational activities, (soccer championships, festivals, and dances), beach clean-up, nest monitoring, hatchery construction, and the releasing of hatchlings, b) informing residents and visitors about project activities by widely distributing a bilingual newsletter, posting educational signs on the beach that mark and name each nest, and distributing hatching calenders throughout the region, c) raising the social consciousness about the urgency of protecting the threatened turtles through an ecological educational program in Junquillal and nearby communities, d) augmenting the local pride in the community by helping them appropriate the project through, por example, organised teams of local teenagers who monitor and protect the turtle nests, e) stimulating a model of eco-tourism for the community, and encouraging an exchange between experienced eco-tourism community leaders from other areas of Costa Rica, f) offering an alternative source of income to reduce the consumption and selling of turtle eggs by teaching related arts and crafts, organising homestay programs for visiting students, and training locals as eco-guides, g) promoting the cooperation between involved institutions such as the Development Association, other local community groups, municipal authorities, and national environmental agencies. From December 2005 to May 2006, WWF's Pacific Leatherback Conservation Project and the community of Junquillal have eliminated 80% of the light pollution problem, and reduced the poaching rate of the olive ridley to 2.6% and the leatherback and black turtle to 0%. The teens that once relied on the eggs for their livelihood now constitute the team of monitors that patrol the beach and protect the nests. In the last year, they have ensured that 10,000 baby turtles have successfully hatched and been released into the ocean.

Although these animals are seen spread out along Brazilian waters, some concentration is observed on the south and southeast coast. To understand the relationship between leatherbacks from Brazil and elsewhere we analyzed long mtDNA sequences. Here we present research data produced in cooperation with LBEM, Projeto Tamar-Ibama, NEMA and PETROBRAS/CENPES as part of the project "Mamiferos e Quelonios Marinhos". Control region sequences of mtDNA were generated either from leatherbacks caught incidentally by fisheries in Brazilian waters (n=7), or stranded on beaches in the Rio Grande do Sul State, in south Brazil (n=45) and on nesting areas (n=11). High quality sequences of 711 bp long were generated and analyzed in two steps, using the complete data set or only 496 bp sequences to compare with data available in literature. When shorter sequences were analyzed, 5 distinct haplotypes were defined by 5 polymorphic sites, as compared to 7 haplotypes defined by 9 polymorphic sites, found for the 711 bp comparisons. Comparing the 496 bp haplotypes with published data, we observed for the first time along the Brazilian coast, the presence of two individuals of a haplotype found previously only in Solomon Islands (Dc 9); one individual with haplotype Dc 4, usually found in Costa Rica, and three individuals with haplotype Dc 3, frequently found in Trinidad. Genetic diversity indexes for the nesting population were similar on both analyses (h = c0.182 and = c0.00147) with only 2 haplotypes (Dc 1 and Dc 3). For stranded and incidentally caught leatherbacks, the genetic indexes were (496 bp; h =0.369 and = 0.00138) with only 5 haplotypes and (711 bp; h =0.498 and = 0.00159) with 7 haplotypes. An important conclusion of this research is that haplotype Dc 1 (496 bp), the most common haplotype found to date in Atlantic leatherbacks, has been divided in 3 different haplotypes using 711 bp sequences. With this new insight we may be able to better understand the population relationship among and within different rookeries and the leatherbacks found on the Brazilian coast.

These events are alligned with recorded lunar illumination and statistically analyzed for patterns of peak nesting periods. Our study suggests a negative correlation between lunar illumination and nesting, whereby challenging the idea that peak nesting occurs during the full moon. Here we report that this alternative relationship between moon and sea turtle nesting holds true for several additional years (1994 - 1999), and thus has major implications for better resource management of conservation efforts.

AN - 20427379; 9094258 AB - Sea turtles lay eggs on dynamic beaches, and their clutches may be deposited in areas that are vulnerable to tidal inundation or erosion. As a conservation strategy to increase hatchling production, the relocation of such doomed eggs to less vulnerable areas is used around the world. Rescuing doomed eggs may impose artificial selection that maintains traits favoring poor nest placement and in the long run would be unfavorable to the conservation of sea turtles. Conversely, if individual turtles are inconsistent in their nest placement and tend to scatter nests, then doomed egg relocation may be a valuable conservation strategy. During the 2005-2006 loggerhead turtle nesting season at Mon Repos beach, Queensland, the perpendicular distance from the original site of egg deposition to the dune post baseline was measured for in situ and relocated clutches. Using the same technique, tidal inundation and storm erosion lines were mapped to monitor what would have been the fates of relocated clutches if they had not been moved. These data allowed us to designate each nest by known females as successful or unsuccessful. Unsuccessful nests were distributed across the population with a high proportion of individuals showing inconsistency in nesting success. In addition, nesting success was positively correlated with experience, as measured by the number of past breeding seasons. Moving eggs vulnerable to tidal inundation and erosion saves the progeny from a large percentage of the population, as well as progeny from individuals who may in subsequent years nest successfully. Our results support the hypothesis that doomed egg relocation in this population will contribute positively to its conservation.

AN - 20427355; 9094247 AB - We investigated the potential effects of forecast climate change on the loggerhead sea turtle at a breeding location at the northerly extent of the range of regular nesting in the USA. We recorded sand temperatures and used the relationship between sand and local air temperatures, along with local historical air temperatures in North Carolina, to examine past sex ratios and predict future sex ratios under scenarios of warming. There were no significant temporal trends in estimated primary sex ratio evident over the study period (1980-2005) and estimated mean sex ratio was 58% female. Long term mean annual air temperatures in North Carolina have decreased significantly over the last 64 years, although a recent warming pattern has been observed, with 10 of the last 12 years warmer than the long term average. There were no temporal trends in phenology over the study period but earlier nesting and longer nesting seasons were related to warmer sea surface temperature. We modelled the effects of incremental increases in mean air temperature of up to 7.5C, the maximum predicted increase under modelled scenarios of climate change that would lead to 100% female hatchling production and lethally high incubation temperatures, causing reduction in hatchling production. We used previously published data for populations of turtles in more southern parts of the USA, which are currently highly female biased, to model the same increases up to 7.5C. These southerly populations are likely to become ultra-biased with as little as 1C of warming and experience extreme levels of mortality if warming exceeds 3C. The lack of demonstrable increases in air temperature in North Carolina in recent decades, coupled with primary sex ratios that are not highly female biased, means that the male offspring from North Carolina could play an increasingly important role in the future viability of the loggerhead turtle in the Western Atlantic.

Focused protection within pelagic foraging habitats is difficult to achieve but may be more tractable when populations are concentrated near breeding grounds. We use satellite telemetry to describe patterns of habitat utilization during the internesting period (mean plus or minus SD) 10.2 plus or minus 1.7 days for leatherback turtles (n = 5) nesting at Mayumba National Park in Gabon on the Equatorial West African coast (South Atlantic). The National Park includes critical nesting grounds and a Marine Protected Area (MPA) to 15 km offshore. Turtles dispersed widely (mean maximum displacement 82 km, range 21 to 166 km) from the nesting beach, spending two thirds of tracking time outside of the protective confines of the National Park which includes a fisheries exclusion zone. This propensity to disperse is likely to increase the chance of deleterious interactions with fisheries in the region. Patterns of habitat utilization indicate the need for wider spatial scale planning on the West African continental shelf to enhance protection of leatherback turtles while seasonally occupying these habitats in great numbers for breeding and nesting.

Maracaibo system in Zulia state is considered the most important area of C. mydas feeding in the whole country. The target of the present study was to update the data of stranding sea turtles on the coast of the Tablazo bay in the Maracaibo system during January 2005 - July 2006 period. A total of 29 field trips of 2 or 4 days were conducted, these trips included: a journey by foot along the coasts, fisherman interviews, observing fish unloading zones and inspections of fishing boats altogether with the National Guard. A total of 24 dead turtles were found, they belonged to 4 species: (1) Lepidochelys olivacea (3) Caretta caretta, (19) Chelonia mydas, (1) Eretmochelys inmbricata and 2 young C. mydas capture by the fishermans, these were caught alive and they were attended by the authors in the vertebrate zoology laboratory of Zulia University, and helped by the specialized medical personnel of Veterinarian Policlinic of the School of Veterinary Sciences of Zulia University, Centre of Investigations for the Marine Turtles Conservation (CICTMAR) and the Environment Ministry and Natural Resources (MARN). All the specimens were released in the National Park "Archipielago Los Monjes" helped by Republic Army, Naval Base "Mariscal Juan Cristostomo Falcon". The main cause of death was incidental capture in fishing nets and hunting for commercial trade and food purposes.

Most potential threats have been thoroughly evaluated, but there remains a dearth of information about the effects of beach vehicular driving on nest success. Several factors were evaluated to determine the effect of driving off-road vehicles (ORVs) on nesting activity. To compare driven and non-driven beaches, data on beach slope, sand compaction, beach width, sand color, sand grain size, moisture content, incubation temperature, and pedestrian activity were collected during the 2005 nesting season at Cape Lookout National Seashore, Cape Hatteras National Seashore and Pea Island Wildlife Refuge, North Carolina, USA. Data collected in the 2000 to 2005 nesting seasons were assessed to determine differences in incubation period and the percentages of false crawls between ORV and non-ORV beaches. ORV use was found to be a significant factor in determining nesting laying. False crawls were more likely to occur on ORV beaches. The light intensities for 300-500 nm were found to be a significant factor in determining the occurrence of a nest or false crawl. A T-test for light intensities for 300-500 nm found greater light intensity on non-ORV beaches. Incubation period was estimated to be an average of 2 days longer for ORV beaches. This is estimated to cause a decline of 20% in production of female loggerhead turtles at these locations. None of the beach and sand characteristics accounted for this difference. More nests were relocated on ORV beaches than non-ORV beaches. However, nests on non-ORV beaches were subject to higher rates of inundation by the sea. Emergence success of hatchlings in Cape Hatteras was reduced by more than half by overwash and approached zero with washout. The greater occurrences of false crawls on ORV beaches may cause the nesting turtle to expend additional energy. This energy could be put into egg production or growth. Cape Hatteras and Cape Lookout need to further evaluate this effect and take action to mitigate it. ORV use could be stopped completely, subject to limit permitting, mileage reduced, discontinued during nesting season, or prohibited during nighttime hours. The habitat quality of non-ORV beaches was inferior to the beaches designated for ORV use. The issues of overwash, washout, and light intensity should be considered when selecting an area for ORV use or as a nest relocation site. Areas with high historic nesting percentages and low incidence of overwash and washout ought to be designated as non-ORV. The possible skewed sex ratios present a risk for a recovering population. ORV use should be discontinued in order to correct sex ratio.

AN - 20426583; 9094360 AB - Sea turtles captured in pound nets in the Pamlico-Albermarle Estuarine Complex, NC, USA, were sampled 1995 - 1997 and 2001 - 2003 to monitor trends in abundance during their fall emigration from the temperate sounds. Juvenile loggerhead (Caretta caretta), green (Chelonia mydas), and Kemp's ridley (Lepidochelys kempii) turtles were captured, in decreasing order of abundance. Over the 9 yr period, the catch rates of loggerhead turtles increased significantly at a rate of 13.2% yr super(-1), perhaps indicating that as a whole, the species in the Western North Atlantic is recovering at a very slow rate. We did not detect a trend for either green or Kemp's ridley turtles, likely due to low statistical power. We noted a significant shift in the size distribution of loggerheads; the mode increased over time. There was no discernable pattern in annual size distributions of green turtles even though there was a significant difference in annual size distributions. Our analyses demonstrate the need for long-term studies of sea turtles on foraging grounds at multiple sites throughout their ranges.

A variety of methodologies were utilized in an attempt to obtain information on population density and nesting activity. This included head surveys and modified crab traps in salt marshes, depredated nest surveys and drift fences with pitfall traps on nesting beaches, and radio tracking of reproductive females. In 2004, twenty-four heads were spotted in eleven total surveys of Cedar Point Marsh, Airport Marsh, Mon Louis Creek, and Little Dauphin Island. Seventy-four depredated nests were found on the nesting beaches surrounding these marshes. In 2005, twenty-five heads were seen in seven surveys of the four marshes. However, only fifteen depredated nests were observed that year (primarily due to overwash of nesting areas due to a series of storms). In 2006, forty heads were observed in thirteen surveys, although these head surveys were completed only in Cedar Point and Jemison's Marsh. The nest surveys were concentrated on the beaches surrounding Cedar Point Marsh, where 109 depredated nests were found. Seven adult females were captured in the pitfall traps, and two females were captured while nesting. Seventeen terrapins were caught in the modified crab traps: two in Jemison's Marsh and fifteen in Cedar Point Marsh. All turtles were PIT tagged and their shells notched. A suite of morphological measurements as well as blood samples were collected. The blood samples will be used in both genetic and hormone studies of this population. The results suggest that limited populations of terrapins exist in the salt marshes of Alabama with the largest detected nesting aggregation occurring near Cedar Point. The stability and threats to the conservation of these populations are currently being examined in order to assess optimal management strategies.

The time/area closure is in place each year from August 15 - November 15 and extends from Monterey Bay, California to Pacific City, Oregon, which bans drift gillnet fishing gear from this area during this time. This protective measure was implemented as a reasonable and prudent alternative by the National Marine Fisheries Service - following the completion of a Biological Opinion for the drift gillnet fishery that concludes such operations are deleterious to local leatherback populations. This presentation will first examine the data used to determine the need for this closure. This will include data gathered from fisheries bycatch, tagging and tracking and aerial surveying. Gaps in data and knowledge regarding the population of leatherbacks present along the US West Coast at the time of the closure will be discussed. The time/area closure will then be examined from a number of perspectives. Bycatch data on the leatherback sea turtle from the California-Oregon drift gillnet fishery will be compared prior to and following the implementation of the Leatherback Conservation Area to evaluate the potential effectiveness of this conservation measure in mitigating fishery impacts. New data collected since the time/area closure on the population distribution of the leatherback sea turtle along the US West Coast will then be briefly presented. This will be discussed in relation to the current boundaries of the Leatherback Conservation Area. Finally, potential economic impacts to the drift gillnet fishery due to this closure will be briefly analyzed using ex-vessel value of landings, number of permit holders and historical economic patterns of the California-Drift gillnet fishery. Based on the above data a final analysis will be presented on the effectiveness of the Leatherback Conservation Area as a balance between conservation efforts and the fishing industry.

From 1987-2004, Rhode Island recorded a minimum of 23 fisheries entanglements of sea turtles--primarily leatherbacks. Lack of dedicated (funded) responders and response vessels has limited the number of entanglements that could be responded to in a timely manner, and as a result, entangled turtles have been lost (fate unknown) or died from the entanglement. In summer 2005, Rhode Island Sea Grant received a contract from NOAA Fisheries to establish, maintain, and operate a new program--the Rhode Island Sea Turtle Disentanglement Network (RISTDN)--for responding to reports of entangled marine turtles in Rhode Island, and for dissemination of knowledge gained from the response effort. This included training a group of experienced people and enlisting a cadre of boats to respond to turtle entanglement calls, fielding calls for all Rhode Island marine turtle entanglements through a dedicated cell phone hotline, and responding to the entanglement and subsequently releasing the turtle. In 2005, the hotline received six calls and mounted on-scene responses to three of them -- two were reports of live leatherbacks that were successfully disentangled and released with no visible signs of injury. The third response was to confirm a likely dead leatherback turtle, but RISTDN responders were unable to locate the turtle. Excellent communication among all groups and agencies involved in the program and an effective "public relations" campaign were keys to the success of the program in its first year. Put in context with the two other disentanglement programs in New England (Maine and Massachusetts), the leatherback was the primary turtle found entangled (21 of 22 confirmed reports) and all but one of those turtles were entangled in pot gear. This past summer was quiet in Rhode Island, with no disentanglement calls to the hotline, despite good publicity about the hotline's availability. It appeared to be a quiet summer overall with only a single sea turtle stranding (loggerhead) reported in Rhode Island and only five entanglements (all leatherbacks and all entangled in pot gear) reported in the greater New England area.

We describe fisheries and oceanographic regions where bycatch of different species is known to occur, and review available annual bycatch estimates in these regions. We describe how guiding legislation for NOAA-NMFS, namely the Marine Mammal Protection Act and Endangered Species Act, has shaped the development of U.S. fisheries observer programs, and how existing regulatory frameworks have (and have not) contributed to knowledge concerning sea turtle bycatch. We also discuss obstacles that limit our ability to place bycatch estimates in a population context, including lack of in-water abundance estimates, limited age-structured information, inadequate descriptions of overlap between fisheries and geographic distributions of turtle populations, and failure to coordinate management across multiple fisheries. We provide concrete examples of the lack of coordination across fisheries and consider the impacts of disparate management mandates and strategies. This review thus highlights and makes recommendations for addressing key issues in sea turtle bycatch research and management throughout U.S. fisheries.

Over the past decade, the local community of Ostional has been a major source of nest predation. In addition, fishermen have increasingly resorted to killing adult turtles in the coastal waters as a means of easily extracting turtle eggs. Intense conflicts between community members and managers at the reserve area have developed. In the absence of the Nicaraguan army serving as guards at the reserve, the reserve would likely be completely overtaken by local community members during nesting season. In an effort to bridge the divide between conservation efforts and the community of Ostional, Paso Pacifico initiated a series of meetings with members of the principle cooperative in Ostional, the Cooperativa Jose Adan Calderon. The San Juan del Sur municipal government has also participated in these meetings. The Jose Adan Calderon cooperative directly and indirectly benefits over ninety families in the Ostional community. Members of the cooperative currently participate in illegal raids of nesting beaches and other types of sabotage of conservation efforts. We carried out semi-structured interviews with cooperative members regarding their perspectives on their rights and access to marine resources, particularly sea turtle eggs. We present the results of these interviews and perspectives on marine conservation. Results of these interviews and community meetings demonstrate that cooperative members are concerned about the negative impacts of their actions on both sea turtles and near-shore fisheries, but that the social conflicts surrounding turtle egg protection deter the community members from changing their behavior. Cooperative members see the potential for income generation through eco-tourism activities, but they disbelieve that they can become beneficiaries of such activities. We conclude that given the level of tensions between park authorities and members of the Ostional community, a long-term program aimed at conflict resolution should be developed. By developing collaborative relationships between the reserve managers and the local fishing and ranching community, local people may be more willing to make changes in their behaviors, especially with regards to killing adult sea turtles. Additionally, given the huge increase in tourism activities, there is tremendous potential for income-generation in this community through the non-extractive use of marine resources (i.e. turtle viewing, dive and snorkel trips, etc).

Four species of marine turtles (leatherbacks, Dermochelys coriacea; greens, Chelonia mydas; olive ridleys, Lepidochelys olivacea; and hawksbills, Eretmochelys imbricata) are known to nest on the 19 km of black sand beaches along the southern shores of the Island's Gran Caldera and Southern Highlands Scientific Reserve. For the past six (2000/01 through 2005/06) annual nesting seasons (October through April), the Bioko Biodiversity Protection Program, a cooperative enterprise of Arcadia University and the Universidad Nacional de Guinea Ecuatorial, has employed local patrols to record turtle activity on these beaches. Leatherback nests were the most common, and showed the greatest year-to-year fluctuation (typically between 2,000 and 6,000 nests), followed by green turtles nests (between 700 and 1,600), olive ridley nests (steadily increasing from 45 to over 150) and hawksbill nests (fewer than 10). When combined with comparable results from other scientists for the 1996/97 and 1997/98 nesting seasons, long-term trends became evident and indicated relatively stable nest counts for green, olive ridley and hawksbill turtles. Leatherback nests increased to approximately 5,000 nests for three seasons, followed by a two season decline to approximately half that amount, and is showing an upward trend to 3,500 in the most recent season. All leatherback numbers are substantially higher than those recorded in the 1990's (approximately 1,000 per season).

A total of 237 settings and 258,239 hooks were sampled between 28S - 38S and 36W - 50W. The settings occured mainly over the shelf break. The fishery target species were tunas (Thunnus spp.), swordfish (Xiphias gladius) and sharks, mainly blue-shark (Prionace glauca). Tuna and "J" 9/0 hooks were baited with Brazilian sardines (Sardinella brasiliensis), mackerel (Scomber japonicus) or squid (IIIex argentinus), depending on the target species. Sea turtles were caught in all cruises and in 51.9% of the settings. In total, 346 loggerhead, Caretta caretta, and 8 leatherback, Dermochelys coriacea turtles were caught. The mean capture rates were 1.34 and 0.03 turtles/1000 hooks for loggerhead and leatherback, respectively. The capture rate varied according to season and target species. In autumn (April-June) the mean capture rate was 2.57 turtles/1000 hooks, followed by winter (July-September) 1.59 turtles/1000 hooks, summer (January-March) 0.38 turtles/1000 hooks and spring (October-December) 0.22 turtles/1000 hooks. Sea turtle bycatch was higher in settings for swordfish and sharks (mean capture rate of 2.12 turtles/1000 hooks), followed by tuna (0.98) and blue-shark (0.53). Most loggerheads caught were released alive (83.2%). In cruises with onboard observers, data about the hook insertion position and curved carapace length - CCL were also collected. In these cruises 56.8% of sea turtles caught had the hook inserted in the mouth, 29.7% internal, 10.8% external and 2.7% was not reported (n= 74 turtles). Specimens of loggerheads captured were immature, with CCL ranging from 44 to 70 cm (mean = 57.9 cm c 4.9 cm, n=69). This size range is different from that of loggerheads stranded on the adjacent coast of Rio Grande do Sul state (mean = 74.3 cm c 13.1 cm, n=420), suggesting that the specimens caught in longlines rarely strand on the beach. The difference between sizes is related to different stages of their life-cycle, smaller specimens have pelagic habits while larger ones are more coastal preying upon demersal species. Eight D. coriacea were entangled and/or hooked in their flippers and were released alive. The high fishing effort over the shelf break near Uruguay with higher capture rates, similarly reported in previous studies, reinforces the role of Rio Grande do Sul state as an important feeding area and development ground for immature loggerhead turtles. The high capture rates overlapping with fishing grounds and fishing season in southern Brazil address the need of development and implementation of mitigation measures to reduce the sea turtle bycatch.

Existing research has generally focused on the effects of a single gear type despite the fact that bycatch of these vulnerable taxa may occur across multiple gear types within the same region. In many cases current regulations regarding maximum biological removal of endangered species are permitted on a fishery by fishery basis, without regard for the cumulative effects of the bycatch across all fisheries. As part of an ongoing effort to generate bycatch risk landscapes, we use point and surface pattern analyses to identify significant spatial patterns in bycatch across three gear types: gillnet, trawl and longline. These analyses were conducted on data from U.S. Atlantic waters, but our objective is to develop a methodology that could be used in any ocean area in which multiple gear types are deployed, particularly in coastal zones. Our analyses highlight the importance of considering bycatch effects across gear types in order to describe the full ecological footprint of fisheries bycatch on protected species.

As flagship threatened species, sea turtles are promising model organisms in this regard. We are therefore combining our ongoing sea turtle research and educational initiatives in an interdisciplinary approach to support marine conservation. At the Palmyra Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, we are studying the population biology and connectivity of sea turtles. Marine chelonians at this remote atoll, located about halfway between Hawaii and American Samoa, forage in a unique environment currently removed from pervasive anthropogenic influence. In our research, we are addressing questions of distribution and abundance, ecological interactions, habitat use, and connectivity to other populations. In turn, our work at Palmyra is being incorporated into educational materials produced by the Network of Conservation Educators and Practitioners (NCEP). The key goal of NCEP is to improve the practice of biodiversity conservation by improving training in conservation. The initiative targets educators working with undergraduate and graduate students, and trainers working with conservation professionals in a variety of settings. One of the most important tangible products of NCEP is a series of multi-component modules, or resources for teachers and trainers in the field of biodiversity conservation. The modules include a summary document or synthesis of a key topic in biodiversity conservation, an easily modified classroom presentation, accompanying practical problem-solving exercises for the field and classroom, a teacher's guide to module use, and a collection of original scientific literature. The modules, available in several languages, continue to be provided free of charge to teachers and trainers in partnering countries, and increasingly, through the Internet (http://ncep.amnh.org). An important focus for NCEP has been producing modules on the marine environment, including materials on marine conservation biology, marine protected areas and networks, marine conservation policy, and international treaties for marine conservation and management. We have also created an interactive computer simulation exercise about marine reserves and local fisheries. In this presentation, we describe the innovative and diverse educational materials about sea turtles and their environments, including exercises and a case study, that are widely available, free of charge, as part of the NCEP initiative.

This project identified by the Ghana Wildlife Society (GWS) was extended to cover 76 km stretch of coast from the Amanzuri River estuary in Ghana to New-Town on the Ghana - La Cote Devoire border in January 2002. The objective of this project is to conserve turtles in all the coastal communities in the Project area and use it as a tool to promote eco-tourism and socio-economic development. It is envisaged that this project will lead to an increase in turtle populations in the Western Region of Ghana, and the development of a Turtle and Whale Watch potential as a contribution to the socio-economic development of the project area. This objective is gradually being achieved through conservation education in schools and communities in the project area as well as through community consultations and meetings, film shows, open forum and regular visits to sea turtle meat markets to create awareness on the need to conserve sea turtles as well as the laws banning the trade in turtle products in Ghana. Achievement made so far includes: High level of awareness on sea turtle conservation in the project area has been created. This is shown by a 50% decline in raided turtle nest from January 2004 to December 2005, A Marine Turtle Task Force (MTTF) made up of 10 local people has been formed. Good cooperation from community members on sea turtle conservation. For example, two (2) migrant fishermen who raided turtle nests were arrested by community members in the 2005 nesting season and handed over to an MTTF member. A micro-credit scheme has been set-up to support MTTF members. The project during the 2005 nesting season, recorded the activities of a Hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) a species thought to be extinct from the coast of Ghana. The Soft-shell turtle also called the Pig-nose turtle (Carettochelys insculpta) was also recorded during this period. This might be an indication of decreased exploitation in the project area. It is envisaged that there would be a complete stop or drastic reduction in the exploitation of sea turtles by the end of the second phase (2004 - 2007) of this project and the development of a Sea Turtle and Whale watch program would have been fully completed.

We have conducted environmental monitoring studies along the coast from 21 to 26 South Latitude degrees since 1995 observing that Chelonia mydas began to congregate at increasing numbers into at least three discrete areas: (a) a thermoelectric warm discharge plume in Mejillones del Sur bay, (b) a semi enclosed small inner-city fishermen port in Antofagasta city coastline, and (c) Constitution cove, another small countryside fishermen port (Ca. 16 miles Northwest Antofagasta). To understand the phenomena and get close to a risk assessment of the fact, we conducted population size/sex, body size/weight characterization, mark recapture, and radiotracking/TDR device utilization to explain liaison and/or utilization of such warmer areas by sea turtles. At the beginning we hypothesized that sea turtles may get trapped in such warmer spots due to their ectothermic conditions, later on we moved to the belief that sea turtles are using it as a mechanism of thermoregulation while exploiting colder foraging areas in the surroundings. Our results show that algal specific proportions are significantly different among the three sites. Main food items, Ulva and Gracilaria showed significant energy density differences between (a) and (c) and are absent in (b) where sea turtles feed mainly on fish and mollusk flesh from fish market leftovers. Recaptured individuals 3-7 months later showed good body condition. TDRs and radio tracking equipped sea turtles at (a) indicates that a warm water plume may be a body heat source to exploit colder foraging sites and increase their metabolic efficiency while in the area. We also describe standard diving patterns and daily/behavior schedules of two individuals. Population structure suggest that Mejillones Peninsula has become the foraging grounds for juvenile immature (42%), subadults (24%) coming from oceanic currents, as well as adults (34%; >670 mm SCLn-t, according to Green (1994), from their inter-reproductive migratory cycle. During the study we faced several environmental problems, from oil spills, sea turtles injured by boat collisions and positive buoyancy syndrome, to sea lion attacks on sea turtles. A risk assessment and conservation measurements have been elaborated to ensure survival of sea turtle species temporarily present in the area.

How a present day, marine turtle population might respond to climate change is explored using our extensive current knowledge of this species along with sea level changes and climate change since the ice ages. Flatback turtles have made radical changes in distribution of their nesting beaches, foraging areas and migratory pathways in response to sea level rise and loss of "traditional" nesting beaches over the last 10,000 years. Today's (Holocene) N. depressus distribution (nesting beaches, post-hatchling dispersal, benthic foraging by immatures and adults, breeding migrations) lies totally within the previous ice age (Pleistocene) land mass of Australia-New Guinea. Some of the nesting beaches occur up to 1,1000km inland of old ice age beaches. Associated with these changes in distribution were selective pressures that drove changes leading to development of new genetic stocks with associated differences in biological characteristics. Tropical beaches during summer in present day (Holocene) northern Australia are too hot to be suitable turtle eggs incubators (The Guinea effect). N. depressus populations illustrate two different but parallel adaptive responses. On the east and west coasts of Australia, today's summer nesting populations have a southern (cooler) nesting distribution. Across northern Australia where a southward shift in nesting distribution was not an option, the population(s) is selected for winter breeding. Both breeding distributions provide beach temperatures suitable for high incubation success within beach temperature ranges yielding suitable male:female hatchling ratios. This difference in timing of breeding by different populations implies underlying selection for physiological differences in the endogenous breeding cycles within the respective populations. Where summer & winter breeding populations have sympatric adult foraging areas, it leads to reproductive isolation of these populations. With breeding isolation, comes the potential for genetic differentiation and for developing fixed differences in other biological parameters between populations (adult female CCL, eggs per clutch, size of eggs and hatchlings).

However, when conducting these analyses, researchers have used several different histological techniques for bone preparation. Given that there may be differences in the extent to which each technique accentuates growth marks within bone sections, it is important to evaluate them to determine their relative effectiveness. In this study, sections of humeri obtained from 20 Kemp's ridley sea turtles (30.3 to 48.7 cm SCL) that stranded dead along the U.S. Atlantic coast were prepared using two of the most common techniques: 1) untreated and viewed in a 4:6 ethanol-glycerin solution and 2) decalcified, thin-sectioned, and stained with hematoxylin. The number of lines of arrested growth (LAGs) that denote the outer limits of individual growth marks were counted independently by three observers in unstained and stained sections taken from individual animals and were then compared. Unstained sections were viewed solely under a Nikon dissecting microscope, while stained sections were viewed both on the Nikon and on an Olympus BX41 trinocular compound microscope to look for possible differences. Significantly more LAGs were observed in the stained sections than in the unstained sections.

In addition to collecting information on the sea turtles themselves, information was collected on the bycatch associated with each sampling event. Count information was collected on all species, and lengths and weights were recorded for priority fish and invertebrate species. Over 423,300 individuals were recorded representing nearly 150 different species each of fish and invertebrates. A 2001 study conducted by the Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program-South Atlantic (SEAMAP-SA) found that bycatch can be a legitimate surrogate for habitat type. This paper will analyze the bycatch data collected during this study to test two hypotheses: to determine if loggerhead catch rates vary by habitat or bottom type and to determine the relationship between catch rates and the presence of known loggerhead prey items. Analyses for both components of this paper are pending.

Current circle hook designs included both offset and non offset hook types. Experiments were conducted in the Costa Rican longline fisheries to determine whether there were any differences in catch rates of targeted fish, incidental catch of sea turtles, or hooking locations of sea turtles between non-offset 14/0 circle hooks and 10 offset 14/0 circle hooks. The commercial longline vessels were contracted to conduct experiments in the Pacific waters of Costa Rica from 2004-2006. A total of 44 sets were conducted with a total of 35,466 hooks deployed. Offset and non-offset 14/0 circle hooks were alternated along each set and squid bait was used throughout the experiments. Initial analysis of catch data indicate that 733 sea turtles were incidentally captured in the 44 sets (mean CPUE: 20.3). Non-offset circle hooks and 10 offset circle hooks had similar catch rates of sea turtles and similar catch rates of targeted fish species.

We used a known fate model with the transmission data to estimate annual survival rates and determine if there were differences in survival between the two groups. The best model of the data suggested there was no difference in survival between the lightly hooked and control turtles.

Today, sea turtles remain a coveted item in northwestern Mexico despite being afforded complete legal protection since 1990. Consuming the meat and eggs is not only illegal, but also may be harmful to human health due to environmental contaminants such as heavy metals and organochlorines (e.g., DDT; DDE; PCBs). Sea turtles may also carry parasites and bacteria that, when consumed, may cause deleterious health effects. In addition, sea turtle meat is often sold on the unregulated black market where its processing and transport may be of dubious sanitary quality. Therefore, the objectives of our study were: (1) to better understand perceptions the general public may have regarding potential risks associated with consuming sea turtles; (2) to better understand perceptions regional doctors may have regarding potential risks associated with consuming sea turtles; (3) to gain a better understanding of the significance associated with locals becoming sick from consuming sea turtles; and (4) to provide a foundation for effective communication of these risks. Surveys and interviews were performed in Baja California Sur (BCS), Mexico. In 2005, 165 local people, including 36 health professionals, were randomly surveyed in Puerto San Carlos and Ciudad Constitucion. More males (71%) than females were interviewed, with the majority (75%) between 20 and 39 years of age. Non-professionals were the largest group (64%) followed by professionals (21%) and students (15%). Most respondents (67%) had obtained a high school or above education and the majority (91 %) were interested in sea turtle conservation, regardless of gender, level of education, or occupation. When asked if consuming sea turtle meat and/or eggs was bad for their health, most locals (68%) responded 'no', regardless of gender, education, or occupation, with the exception of students that showed no difference. When asked whether or not they would consume sea turtle meat and/or eggs if their physician told them it was unhealthy, most (81%) responded negatively, regardless of gender, education, or occupation. Detailed information on whether or not locals had knowledge of possible contaminants present in regional sea turtles will be presented. Of 36 doctors surveyed, 31% treated multiple patients for various forms of food poisoning resulting from consuming turtle meat and/or eggs. However, this number may be conservative given that some doctors most likely consume or have consumed sea turtle and some mentioned that they were unwilling to share such sensitive information. In Puerto San Carlos, a relatively small coastal community, 40% of doctors believed that sea turtle was a healthy food source. Comparatively, in the larger urban center of Ciudad Constitucion, only 6% of doctors believed that sea turtle was a healthy food source. Acknowledgements: Travel support for J.

Beach patrols were performed from 4 to 6 hours each night, except when weather conditions did not allow to stay at the beach. Turtles were tagged during ovoposition in both fore flippers with inconel and monel tags and they were measured with a flexible tape. The time, location, and any particular characteristic of the animal were also registered. If there was a nest too close to the shore, it was translocated to a safe place on the beach. All the information was ordered, analyzed and compared with previous data. During June to October 2006, I identified 450 green turtle females. From that number, new tags were applied to 400 females, a number higher with respect to the last year and many other past seasons. The remigrants were mainly from 2002 and, the oldest recaptures were observed from 1985 and 1986. Also, it is really remarkable that for the first time in Aves Island, the recapture of two turtles tagged in different foreign beaches from Caribbean Sea were recorded. With respect to the body measurements, the mean determined for the standard curved length and curved carapace width (112,4 cm. and 102,2 cm., respectively) were minor to those established for the last season, but it is similar to previous years. The explanation for this result can be related to the observation of a higher percentage of recruits coming to nest during the 2006 season. The majority of the animals demonstrated a preference to nest in the southern zone of the island, which indicates that the precautions to decrease the effect of artificial light in that sector had good results. However, the negative impact of lighting continues affecting the animals and the monitoring work and it is crucial to eliminate the negative effects of the artificial lights on the females and the hatchlings. These results confirm that on this index beach for the Caribbean, green turtles seem to be stable and in good health.

Akyatan Beach is the most important nesting beach in the Mediterranean (Kasparek et al. 2001). Our research was conducted between 7 June-15 September. The 22 km beach was monitored by foot everyday and nesting and non-nesting emergences were recorded. A total of 1,421 emergences were recorded with 562 (39.55%) resulting in nests. A total of 60,962 eggs were laid, however, 13.97% of the eggs were depredated by jackals and foxes. A total of 40,686 (66.74%) hatchlings were produced. Of these hatchlings, 32,524 (79.94%) were able to reach the sea. The peak nesting activity occurred in June. The average incubation duration was 54.5 days.

For instance, in the Mediterranean, loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) mature at a smaller size than any other population: the smallest nesting female recorded was 60 cm CCLn-t. Whether this is due to a lower growth rate or to a younger age at maturity is uncertain. We investigated this aspect through a length frequency analysis of 2944 turtles collected during a 26 year period and ranging 6-60 cm CCLn-t (we excluded turtles above the minimum size of nesting females because growth after maturity is very slow and this may affect the analysis). We calculated growth rates by tracking the progression of individual cohorts, by means of a modal progression analysis performed in the range 30-60 cm, where the sample size was adequate for this approach. Mean annual growth rates were estimated by linking the distinct modes and ranged from 0.22 cm/yr to 4.07 cm/yr, with a mean of 2.08 cm/yr. For the size class 6-30 cm we directly estimated the number of modes/cohorts, thanks to the great size difference among cohorts and the low number of cohorts typical of this small size class. Results suggest that an average turtle takes about 19 years to grow to 60 cm CCL: about four years to 30 cm and other 15 years from 30 to 60 cm. Since the mean size of nesting females is around 80 cm CCL in the most important Mediterranean nesting sites, on the average maturity would be attained at a much older age. When compared with data from the Atlantic, these results suggest that the smaller size at maturity of Mediterranean turtles is mainly due to a slower growth.

I evaluated progress made during the five years (2000-2005) since the Protocol entered into force, and document the degree to which SPAW Parties have legislation to implement Articles 10, 11, 13 and 14, with regard to six species of sea turtles listed on Annex II (such listing requires the protection of species and critical habitat). As regionally depleted, relatively well-studied wildlife shared among all Party jurisdictions, sea turtles provide a useful opportunity to gauge the degree to which the Protocol's 12 Parties have responded to the obligation "to adopt co-operative measures to ensure the protection and recovery of endangered and threatened species" (Art. 11). The objectives of Articles 10 and 11 are to reach consensus regarding endangered species designation and protection. Article 13 addresses the need for decisions about "industrial and other projects and activities" to be made after taking into consideration the "possible direct and indirect impacts, including cumulative impacts" of the proposed project or activity. Article 14 requires all Parties to take traditional and indigenous practices into account and to provide for appropriate exemptions. Based on information obtained from published sources, especially the UNEP-Caribbean Environment Programme library in Jamaica, as well as information drawn from the outcome report of a UNEP-hosted workshop (December 1993) on the development and criteria of appropriate legislation, I developed a normative list of legal characteristics and relevant sectors addressed by each of the targeted Articles. I then sent a questionnaire to all SPAW Regional Programme Focal Points that are Party to the Protocol, requesting copies of relevant legislation. I reviewed original legislative text as well as published analyses relating to legislation and management, and interviewed in-country experts. In the end I recognized approximately 130 relevant fisheries, human rights, environmental, and trade/commerce laws and sector-specific policies of each Party that enable the Protocol's mandate to achieve recovery for Caribbean sea turtles. By comparing existing legislative mandates with a checklist of criteria developed specifically for this purpose, I characterized strengths, weaknesses, and gaps in the national regulatory framework of each Party. Among my conclusions are that a majority of Parties have at least partially met the mandates of Articles 10 and 11, while a minority have met the mandates of Articles 13 and 14. Despite gaps identified in each Party's legislative framework, it is clear that progress has been made since 2000 and that examples of appropriate legislation are now available as potential models for other States to follow, suggesting that further and more timely progress could proceed. The review recommends actions that could be taken by the SPAW Programme to increase national capacity for the development of enabling legislation and participation in the Protocol, and provides a model for further legislative review and assessment pertaining to Annex II listed species.

The mean size of loggerheads caught with longlines is CCL min 47.1 cm (N=487, range=29.0-90.5 cm, SD 8.92). A decrease over years in the loggerhead mean size is shown. The causes of injuries is known for 535 specimen, and 509 (95%) of them clearly indicated interactions with commercial fishing activity. The artisanal fleet operating in the area is mainly composed by drifting longlines, and this kind of gear results the one with the higher number of interactions, with a mean of 40 loggerhead per year and 336 specimens that presented one or more hooks embedded in their flesh. Caretta caretta bycatch in this area is estimated at 0.88 specimen per 1,000 hooks. Hook location was investigated both manually and using X-rays in 305 loggerheads: 284 of them contained 1 hook inside, 18 turtles two hooks and 3 specimens contained 3 hooks for a total of 329 hook locations recorded. Among turtles with 1 hook, 0.4% of them showed the hook in the anterior flippers, 9.5% in the mouth, 4.2% had the hook embedded in the tongue, 85.2% had the hook inside the oesophagus, 0.4% in the stomach, 0.4% in the intestine. Results of 12 years of activity of the Linosa Marine Turtle Rescue Centre show the high negative impact of the drifting longline fishery on the loggerhead sea turtles, Caretta caretta in the waters surrounding the Pelagie Islands, in the middle part of the Mediterranean Sea.

Today, Grenada operates the longest hunting seasons in the region as part of its legal turtle fishery, spanning 8 months of the year. The fishery targets any hard shelled turtle found in her territories but primarily affects hawksbill, loggerhead and green turtles. Other than data collected from the catch logs maintained at a few fish markets, very little is known about the foraging or nesting populations of hard shelled turtles in Grenada. To support the development of the country's first Sea Turtle Action Plan (STRAP), a study to begin to quantify the extent to which hawksbill turtles continue to forage and nest in Grenada has been established approximately 5km offshore from Grenada's mainland. Initial findings suggest that these offshore islands represent important developmental grounds for juvenile turtles as well as providing key nesting habitat for the largest concentration of nesting hawksbills in Grenada. Despite the vulnerability of these remaining stocks and the further pressure placed on this resource by two devastating hurricanes, the economic significance of sea turtles may be in the process of declining. Fewer fishermen are now targeting sea turtles exclusively and are instead typically relying on opportunistic events to catch turtles. This continued shift away from their traditional economic significance will play a key role in shaping the future for Grenada's remaining sea turtle stocks.

Species affected include; i. The hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata)-whose numbers have been so low that it is considered rare since the 1980s, ii. The leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea)-Nesting numbers at several beaches have declined drastically in the last 20 years with some populations that numbered in the thousands now approaching regional extirpation, iii. The loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) - Both nesting populations in the Pacific (in Japan and Australia) have experienced severe population declines in the last 25 years. Individuals from both of these nesting populations inhabit the Eastern Pacific Ocean during the pelagic juvenile stage of their life cycle. There is also concern regarding the population size of green turtles (Chelonia mydas) and olive ridley turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) in the Pacific, although these populations do not seem to be as severely under threat as the three listed above. Fisheries represent a significant threat to these populations and it is extremely important to identify the level of threat imposed by each specific fishing industry and to determine ways to minimize the impact of by-catch across all fishing gears. As one step towards this objective, Project GLOBAL has been gathering information about fisheries, fishing effort and by-catch in the Eastern Pacific. The project is not limited to investigating only sea turtle by-catch, but also looks at marine mammals and sea birds. We are concentrating our efforts on the effect of three major gear types (longlines, trawls and gillnets) on these taxa. Here we present a synthesis of that information as it pertains to sea turtles to address the potential threat that each fishery represents in space and time for each population, taking into account the relative threat to different life stages. We hope to be able to identify critical areas in time and space where interactions between sea turtles and fisheries are most likely to impact population levels. This information will help facilitate the successful prioritization and implementation of mitigation measures by fisheries managers.

The entire coast along the offshore inlands and peninsula provides more than 120 kilometers of suitable nesting beaches that are under severe threats currently due to developmental pressure from tourism and other factors. Long nesting beaches remain unprotected hence posing failures of breeding success. As part of the sea turtle conservation effort of the NGO MarineLife Alliance, activities conducted in the 2005-06 are discussed in this paper. The activities included monitoring of nesting sea turtles, monitoring of dead turtles along entire coast, conservation of nests through hatchery practice and in situ conservation, awareness activity with grassroots people and particularly with fishermen and school education programs. Establishment of sea turtle information and education center, training of community people and offshore fishermen, education program with primary & high school in the coastal areas that included a quiz and sea turtle drawing competition, sea turtle campaign, and festival in Cox's Bazar during the peak tourist season was a target activity. The awareness program included the main theme of the IOSEA YOT 2006 that facilitates the program with sea turtle mass campaign in Cox's Bazar town. As part of the sea turtle conservation activity community capacity building and awareness activity has been emphasized under the MarineLife Alliance sea turtle program. Within the schools programs mass enthusiasm observed among the primary and high school students. And still the program needs to be conducted by every conservation project. Fishermen and grassroots people needs to be educated regarding sea turtle facts and their role in the nature. Still there is a huge lack of basic knowledge that needs to be disseminated to fishermen & grassroots to facilitate conservation. We are extremely thankful to Disney Animal Kingdom, Western Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Council, US National Marine Fisheries Service, Ford Foundation and US Fish and Wildlife Service for their financial support to attend the symposium.

Nesting beach monitoring has shown an increase or stability among females in the Eastern Atlantic (EA), Western Atlantic (WA), and Western Indian (Wl) while those in the Eastern Pacific (EP) have been declining precipitously. In the Western Pacific (WP), some populations have been practically extirpated while others have shown some evidence of decline. Increases in the WA have been attributed to higher recruitment rates from nesting beach protection, which has also been in place at some of the major beaches in the EP yet population recovery has not occurred. Incidental leatherback mortality among coastal gillnet fisheries is suggested to be the major source of anthropogenic influence on adult survival. While these fisheries exist in all basins, they have not affected populations in the Atlantic and Indian. One theory to explain this paradox suggests that leatherbacks in the Pacific may be resource limited but this has yet to be tested. Here we explored the foraging and nesting ecology of leatherbacks worldwide to determine differences in resource quantity and reproductive output (RO). Leatherbacks are foraging specialists relying on large patches of gelatinous zooplankton that can occur at areas of high primary production (PP). Vitellogenesis among female sea turtles is dependent upon their level of fat reserve, which is a function of foraging area condition. We reviewed long-term satellite tracking data from post-nesting females at the major rookeries to designate foraging areas in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific. We then calculated monthly PP at these areas using satellite-derived chlorophyll-A, sea surface temperature, and photosynthetically active radiation data over a period of 8 years. Finally, we reviewed nesting data from the major rookeries in each basin to calculate egg production. Post-nesting females among all populations migrated to systems of high PP driven by coastal upwelling, equatorial upwelling, and strong wind-driven vertical mixing along coastal shelves and temperate pelagic zones. We focused our comparison on the WA and EP populations given their extensive data sets. Mean PP among all foraging areas of WA females was significantly higher than those of the EP (P << 0.0001, n =100). Moreover, the RO of WA females was twice that of EP females. The total yearly PP of the WA foraging areas was almost 150% greater than those of the EP. A harmonic analysis showed that all of the foraging areas had seasonal PP except those in the EP where the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) caused interannual variability. Our results suggest that Atlantic and Wl populations are recovering or are stable in the face of continued anthropogenic mortality due to a higher RO derived from temporally consistent, high quality foraging areas. We conclude that the combined effects of natural oceanic fluctuations and their response to anthropogenic climate warming have exacerbated the EP population's sensitivity to fishery mortality thus explaining their rapid decline rate despite continued beach protection.

Its shallow northern and central waters host one of two of the most extensive neritic habitats in the basin, whilst the southern Adriatic is considered oceanic habitat. Analysis of tag returns showed that at the adult female level, the Adriatic is frequented by loggerheads belonging to regional nesting stocks, predominantly to the Greek reproductive population. In the case of juveniles, it has been hypothesized that Adriatic developmental habitats may be shared by turtles of regional and Atlantic origin. To asses genetic structure and natal origin of loggerheads in the Adriatic Sea, we sampled 116 turtles with CCL ranging from 8.5 - 84.5 cm (mean CCL = 42.9, SD = 14.7) found in Croatian and Slovenian waters and analyzed mitochondrial DNA control region sequences. Most of the turtles in this study were juveniles (111 ex) with CCL < 70.0 cm. We detected eight distinct haplotypes. Six were previously reported from the Mediterranean (Cc-A2, Cc-A3, Cc-A6, Cc-A26, Cc-A29, Cc-A32), whilst the remaining two are new and can not be assigned to a rookery of origin. Based on Bayesian mixed stock analysis results, we discuss natal origin of loggerheads in the feeding habitats of the Adriatic Sea and their implication to conservation, fishery management in particular.

In these two areas they are incidentally caught by trawlers and drifting longlines, and are supposed to be in the neritic and oceanic stage respectively. In order to assess the size at which the transition from the oceanic to the neritic stage occurs, we analyzed food items from 76 turtles ranging 25-80 cm CCLn-t, caught by longliners, trawlers, or found floating at sea and brought to the WWF's Turtle Rescue Centre in Lampedusa Island, Italy, in the period 2001-2005. Samples consisted in 29 stomach contents obtained through necropsy of dead animals and 130 feces from 47 turtles. Food items belonged to 19 Classes of 12 Phyla. Whenever possible, the items were identified at the species level, with a total of 69 species of which 49 are reported among Caretta caretta food items for the first time. Both animals and plants were represented, although plants were probably ingested incidentally. Gastropoda, Crustacea and Echinoidea were the three most common Classes, occurring in 59%, 59% and 51% of the turtles respectively. As expected, all the turtles caught by trawlers had ingested benthic preys, and 25% of them had fed upon pelagic prey items too, indicating they fed through the whole water column. Although specimens caught by drifting longliners (fishing in deep waters) were expected to feed upon pelagic prey items only, we found benthic preys in 63% of turtles from which feces or stomach contents were collected (n=27). Even if we conservatively assume that other 12 turtles in which no stomach contents were found or which did not defecate in reality had fed upon high digestible pelagic prey items leaving no residuals, the overall proportion of turtles with benthic prey items would be still high (44%; n = 39). Even turtles in the smallest range (e.g. 25-30 cm) had ingested benthic prey items, although the occurrence is higher in turtles above 40 cm. These results suggest that in the study area loggerhead turtles have an exclusively pelagic diet at a size below the size range of our sample. This indicates a very early trophic use of neritic grounds in addition to the oceanic areas, suggesting that small juveniles move across a wide area including both neritic habitats (where they find benthic prey items) and oceanic habitats (where they are caught by longlines). This lack of habitat and area separation in most part of the juvenile class may have implications for conservation that should be considered.

Data were collected by individuals permitted by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and were verified and entered by FLSTSSN coordinators with the FWC. Potential sea turtle mortality factors were sometimes visually apparent with the most common of these being propeller wounds. From 1980 through 2005, over 4,000 sea turtle strandings (including almost 500 live turtles) were documented with propeller wounds. The percent occurrence of propeller wounds among sea turtle strandings each year increased from about 10% in the early 1980's (average of about 50 per year) to almost 30% in the most recent five-year period (average of about 300 per year). By species, the percent occurrence of propeller wounds was 20% for green turtles (Chelonia mydas), 17% for leatherbacks (Dermochelys coriacea), 15% for loggerheads (Caretta caretta), 12% for Kemp's ridleys (Lepidochelys kempii), and 7% for hawksbills (Eretmochelys imbricata). In 2005, boat registrations in Florida surpassed one million. Most (54%) boats were registered in southeast or southwest Florida (Brevard County through Pinellas County, the southern half of Florida) where most (87%) of the sea turtle strandings with propeller wounds were found. The highest percent occurrence of propeller wounds in stranded sea turtles by county (2000-2005) were found in Palm Beach (42.7%), Martin (41.6%), Broward (39.3%), Miami-Dade (35.2%), Lee (24.1%), St. Lucie (23.5%), Indian River (22.5%), Hillsborough (21.7%), Brevard (20.6%), and Hernando-Levy (19.5%).

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Using side scan sonar to monitor for sea turtles in pot fisheries AN - 20423475; 9094313 AB - High numbers of sea turtle strandings have been reported in Virginia, USA by the Sea Turtle Salvage and Stranding Network. The National Marine Fisheries Service monitors several fisheries in coastal Virginia to investigate possible sources of fishery related mortality associated with these strandings. Pot fisheries have high fishing effort, operate in areas where turtle and turtle strandings occur, and have documented interactions with turtles; but due to logistic difficulties associated with traditional observer coverage, pot gear have typically not been observed. There is a need to develop an observational approach for this gear for at least two reasons. First, within the Chesapeake Bay during 2001-2003, pot fisheries constitute both the largest landings and greatest number of trips of any of the fisheries in the Virginia Marine Resources Commission (VMRC) dataset. Second, during 2003-2004 the Sea Turtle Disentanglement Network reported 6 confirmed cases of loggerhead and leatherback entanglements in crab and whelk gear in coastal VA. During 2005-2006, the Protected Species Branch (PSB) of the Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) developed a method to monitor using an alternative platform, side-scan sonar approach. The goal of the pilot study was to use side scan sonar to systematically detect, record, and aid any sea turtles that are entangled in gear, including those that are not observable from the surface. The ability of the American Underwater Search and Survey sonar system to correctly identify turtles in pot gear was tested on May 17th, 2006. Twenty blind trials were run by attaching zero, one, or two turtle carcasses to pot gear in 20 to 35 feet of water. A trial consisted of three sonar runs, after which the operator made a determination. The sonar operator never missed a turtle when it existed, but he did recommend investigating two targets that were not turtles. In one case where a target was identified but a turtle carcass was not on the pot line, the person pulling the pot gear noted that it was snagged on something on the bottom. It is possible the sonar operator was detecting the same object that had snagged the gear. Results from this trial study suggest that alternative platform sonar monitoring can be accurately used to detect underwater entanglements of protected species. During mid-May and June 2006, a NEFSC contractor, American Underwater Search and Survey, operated high frequency side scan sonar (900 KHz) to survey crab and whelk pots found in the lower Chesapeake Bay area and coastal waters near the mouth of the Bay. A total of 1659 pots were scanned during the study, several sonar targets were investigated, but no sea turtles were found entangled in any of the pot gear.

A total of 3 locations in the Departments of Bolivar, La Magdalena and La Guajira (4 sites in Cartagena, 2 in the Santa Marta area, and Riohacha) were visited, with hawksbill shell items found to be offered for sale in crafts markets, souvenir shops, and street vendors. A total of approx. 223 shops/vendors were surveyed, with 60 of these offering hawksbill products for sale. Products were generally offered in established shops and stalls, by vendors (either in the old city or along the beaches), and through informal "sidewalk artisans". The old city in Cartagena is where most of the HB shell items for sale were found. Information gathered indicates that restaurants along beaches in the Cartagena area offer turtle dishes by request, but only during the season, and are not openly offered in the menu. In El Rodadero, a beach town mostly frequented by national tourists, and very close to Santa Marta City, a total of 87 shops were surveyed, 28 of which had HB shell items for sale. 13 souvenir shops were found and surveyed in Santa Marta, 4 of which offered HB shell products for sale. Rio Hacha presented an interesting situation. With an ongoing marine turtle project in a protected area nearby (Parque Nacional Los Flamencos), and several signs promoting marine turtle conservation in the area; the local government was mentioned to be quite strict in the prohibition of any marine turtle sell or use, consequently products are not openly offered to tourists either as crafted shell items or for food in restaurants.

The precipitous decline of such populations as the Pacific leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea), has made the understanding of fisheries interactions a research priority for the sea turtle conservation community. The economic and social importance of the fisheries involved has also led to numerous studies that use or investigate the spatial distribution of longline fisheries effort to understand catch and bycatch rates. These analyses generally ascribe effort from an individual longline set to the point at which the gear is deployed or hauled. Typically, reported fishing effort summarizes these point values over large areas (>1). Although assigning kilometers of longline effort to a single point may be sufficient for large-scale summaries of general fishing effort, the accuracy of finer-resolution models, such as those associating local oceanographic effects with catch or bycatch rates, may be strongly influenced by the distribution method. In this assessment we look at alternative techniques (i.e. the use of centroids, polylines, and polygons) for distributing the fishing effort of the Hawaiian longline fleet. We analyze the effect of scale on the different distribution schemes and make recommendations regarding which methods for distributing fishing effort are appropriate based on the desired resolution of the parent model. This study is part of a larger bycatch assessment project jointly run by Duke University and Blue Ocean Institute (Project GLOBAL).

Third graders were chosen to use this kit because it is within this grade that they are first exposed to life science. In addition, throughout the third grade year, they learn about the history, background, and symbols of South Carolina thus enriching their knowledge about their state reptile. This kit was designed during the 2006 turtle nesting season while working at Edisto Beach State Park. The kit is composed of six lesson plans, one per day, all of which follow South Carolina Curriculum Guidelines for third grade. They include: 1) pollution, 2) endangered species, 3) water life vs. land life, 4) sea turtle biology, 5) sea turtle hatching and reproduction, and a 6) capstone review day. The pollution lesson plan will give students an overview of what pollutants exist as well as the harmful effects they can have on marine life, turtles in particular. The endangered lesson plan not only gives an overview on the Endangered Species Act, but also explains the difference between endangered and threatened species. Water-life versus land-life provides the students with a look at the different adaptations needed for species to live in water as opposed to those that live on land. The sea turtle biology day will shed a light on the different sea turtles, basic anatomy, and geographic distribution. Sea turtle hatching and reproduction will follow a sea turtle from birth to when it lays its own eggs. These lesson plans incorporate not only Life Science Standards, but also Language Arts, Mathematics, Visual and Performing Arts, and Physical Education. At the culmination of the unit, the teacher will have the option of taking the students on a field trip to Edisto Beach State Park. On-site, they will have the opportunity to participate in a "Turtle Patrol" where they will search for, find, and excavate turtle eggs (ping pong balls). They will also determine suitable locations on the beach for turtle nesting using the knowledge gained from their unit as well as relate other lessons they have learned from the unit to this real-life experience. In addition, they will have the opportunity to visit the park's Interpretive Center where they will gain additional hands-on knowledge about their state's estuaries and different flora and fauna. The lesson plans for this kit are completed and should be tested during November 2006. They will be revised as needed. The finished products will be sent to schools in the spring of 2007.

These projects address scientific research and outreach/awareness. The main objectives of the educational program are to increase the knowledge on marine conservation and promote conservation in stakeholders. The activities performed within this program include talks, workshops, etc. Our target audiences were authorities, fishermen, school children at fishing communities and local researchers. To assess the impact of these activities on these target groups, we conducted a survey before and after each activity. The surveys were based on a short, written questionnaire, containing 20 questions total. The theme of the educational talks was seabird, marine mammal and sea turtle conservation. Our study period was from August 2005 to May 2006. From the preliminary analysis of these surveys, we found that almost two thirds of the fishermen knew the concept 'threaten/endangered species' and three quarters knew the concept 'migratory'. Attendants were much more familiar with sea turtle conservation (85%) than with seabird conservation (59%). Also, most fishermen (85%) were willing to try the circle hooks as a mitigation measure to reduce turtle bycatch and to try de-hookers after these techniques were presented to them. The majority (92%) of fishermen responded that they were willing to try mitigation measures for seabird bycatch. Also, most fishermen replied that they would release sea turtles or seadirds from their fishing gears. The increase in correct answers to post-workshop questionnaires suggests that the talks were successful, at least in the short term, in their objective of raising awareness on marine fauna conservation issues. These surveys also proved useful in evaluating levels of knowledge of the different stakeholders groups and inquiring about possible fishermen conservation actions. Also, surveys suggest that fishermen (the most important audience) have had the least previous exposure to the issues discussed. We therefore recommend placing particular emphasis on fishermen as workshops and evaluations are continued in the future.

The development of additional highly polymorphic nuclear DNA markers and analysis of larger sample sizes may be required to detect any existing subpopulation structure. We describe the development of novel primers amplifying 15 tetranucleotide microsatellite loci from the loggerhead sea turtle. The primers were tested on samples collected from 30 females nesting along the Georgia coast in 2005. The primer pairs developed in this study yielded an average of 13.9 alleles per locus (range of 10 to 21), average observed heterozygosity of 0.91 (range 0.79 and 1.00), and average polymorphic information content of 0.88 (range 0.84 to 0.92). The combined panel of markers is sufficiently powerful to yield theoretical probabilities of identity of 1.46e-25 (PID) and 2.63e-8 (PID (SIBS)). Total exclusionary power with both parents unknown is 1.000000. We collected over 600 skin biopsies from females during the 2006 nesting season. Samples represented rookeries from the Florida panhandle to the North Carolina coast, including Cape San Bias, Casey Key, Keewaydin Island, Juno Beach, Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge, Canaveral National Seashore, Cumberland Island National Seashore, Wassaw National Wildlife Refuge, Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge, and Bald Head Island. We will discuss nuclear population structure within and among these areas and present estimates of individual relatedness within rookeries.

A total of 105 green turtles measured during the 1994, 1996 and 2006 breeding seasons, were compared with Canonical Variance (CVA) and Cluster Analyses. Analysis results (Wilk's lambda: 0,8665; df1: 8; df2: 198; F: 1,838; p: 0,07195) verified that it is hard to report that sea turtles nesting on these beaches were totally different. However, further data from other Turkish nesting beaches is required to make a more reliable conclusion.

Previous studies indicate that the frequency of multiple paternity is highly variable in marine turtles, depending on the species studied and nesting location. The factors involved in such differences are still debated. This study will examine the fine-scale paternal contribution of the Boa Vista Island (Cape Verde) nesting population, evaluating the power of the number and combinations of the microsatellite markers used to detect multiple paternity and the number of potential fathers. Mothers and offspring from 15 nests collected in 2004 at Boavista Island will be analyzed using two to eight variable microsatellite loci and different combinations of the best sets of markers inferred from their individual and combined exclusion probabilities (Gerud 1.0, Jones 2001). Our hypothesis is that the probability of detecting different fathers varies with the number of loci, but also with the combinations included in the analysis. This study propose that care may be taken when estimating and comparing multiple paternity frequencies, because results must be biased, not only depending on the species or population under study, but also depending on the level of polymorphism, the number and the combinations of the loci used.

The project areas include two islands, Vamizi and Rongui, which will be shortly gazetted within a protected area linking up with the Mnazi Bay/Rovuma Estuary National Park in southern Tanzania into a Transfrontier Area. The sustainability of the Maluane conservation program will be ensured financially through the development of an up-market tourism product in each Project area, socio-economically by involving local communities in all aspects of management and ensuring that they benefit directly and indirectly from all activities, and ecologically through scientifically-based management. The marine turtle program began in 2002 with the training of local fishermen in the monitoring of turtle nesting activity and the protection of nests. Not a single nest has been poached within the concession area since that time and over 350 nests from green (Chelonia mydas) and hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) turtles have been marked, protected and monitored. Although the majority of the nests are from green turtles, 15% (54 nests) of the nests were from hawksbill turtles, emphasizing the conservation value of the area. Community-based monitoring activities allowed for determination of the mean incubation period (63c9.1, n=321 for green; 59c6.8, n=27 for hawksbill), which also showed a strong seasonal pattern: 75% of nesting activity was detected between February and July. Mean hatching success for green and hawksbill was 85.1c21.1% (n=321) and 86.31c14.0% (n=27), respectively. Mean emergence success for green and hawksbill was 80.5c24.2% (n=321) and 84.73c16.90% (n=27), respectively. During the regular night patrols of nesting beaches, 46 green turtles were tagged on Vamizi Island. Results showed a mean clutch frequency of 2.5c0.9 nests per turtle (n=46) and a mean inter-nesting interval of 17.4c4.2 days. Nesting females showed strong site fidelity and the choice of the nesting beach was significantly correlated with the predominant winds. Other activities in the Maluane Turtle Program include an on-going education program with the local communities and an incentive program with the local fishermen to bring turtles caught incidentally in their nets to tag and to collect samples for genetic analysis.

Dispersal modelling on the basis of previous satellite tracking revealed that 112 days were needed to ensure independency between tagging and recapture locations in the western Mediterranean and, hence, only 28 of the 36 turtles recaptured for this study were considered for further analysis. Although they were recaptured on an average of 390 days after being tagged, only 2 of 28 were recaptured in a basin different from the original one, a value much lower than that expected if barriers to dispersal did not exist.

The Minabe-Senri Beach, which is one of the major rookeries for northern Pacific loggerhead population, has been patrolled about an hour intervals each night from mid June until early August since 1990. Upon encountering a turtle or a new track on the beach, project personnel report to the base over the radio to record the time and the behavior. Data gathered during the 2002-2006 nesting seasons were used in the present study. Tidal cycles for each night of the seasons were divided into eight periods of approximately equal duration. Each emergence (n=703) was allocated into one of the eight tidal stages, representing the period in which it occurred. The resulting frequency in each cell was divided by accumulated time of the periods corresponding to each tidal stage in order to obtain emergence probability in each tidal stages. In the research field, land activity has uni-modal temporal distribution, with a peak at the window of 21-22h; about one quarter of all new emergences were encountered in this one-hour window. Chi-square analysis showed no significant deviation from the expectation of equal emergence probability in each tidal stage, representing fewer effects of tidal cycle on turtle emergence on this beach. This result can be explained by relatively small mean daily tidal range in this beach (1.0 m), as Frazer pointed out (1983).

In some Pacific and Indic nesting beaches, they perform mass nesting events (arribadas); however, in the Western Atlantic coast the species is less abundant. Constant studies on arribada beaches have been conducted, but much is still uncertain about olive ridleys' reproductive behavior, especially in solitary nesting grounds. Until recently, the Galibi Nature Reserve in Suriname hosted the largest reproductive population of olive ridleys within the Western Atlantic coast, but a 90% decline was estimated for the past three decades. In French Guiana, no more than 1,000 nests were estimated for the 1999 nesting season. The state of Sergipe is the main nesting ground for olive ridleys in Brazil and, at present, probably in the entire Western Atlantic coast, according to recent nesting data observed over the past seven years. In Sergipe, olive ridleys reproduce mainly at Santa Isabel Natural Reserve, part of which is included in Pirambu's research station (within 1043'S and 3650'S), where this study was performed. Pirambu's station belongs to the Brazilian Marine Turtle Conservation Program and has been monitored for the past 20 years. Standard night patrols and tagging take place from September through March. The objective of the present study was to identify the internesting interval of the population. Only data from the 2004/05 and 2005/06 nesting seasons were used, during which more intensified patrol efforts began. During the 2004/05 nesting season, 166 individuals were encountered, 22 of which were later recaptured. In 2005/06, 319 individuals were encountered, and 80 were recaptured. A total of 81 internesting intervals were obtained. Only one individual was seen nesting three times. Internesting intervals ranged between 15 and 50 days with the majority between 18 and 22 days. Comments on comparisons with other olive ridley populations are also presented.

Specifically the presentation will highlight three different fishery management issues: Shrimp fishing in the coastal waters of Texas where the Kemp's ridley sea turtle nests, gillnet fishing off the US West Coast, and longline fishing in the Hawaiian Islands. In each situation, the presentation will examine the technological gear fixes that have been implemented, the problems with implementation, effectiveness and enforcement, the impact of the gear fixes on turtle populations and then compare these gear fixes with the impacts of fisheries closures in each of these waters. Beyond looking at the impact on the turtles, the presentation will compare the impacts of the gear fixes and the closures on other marine species, such as sharks and marine mammals. Additionally, the presentation will look at economic factors as well. The presentation will argue for a comprehensive management solution implementation that does not rely on a single tool (such as gear fixes) to address the broader issue of protecting endangered sea turtles and marine biodiversity. The presentation will conclude with recommendations to all policy makers to put time-area closures and international protected areas as a higher priority over gear fixes alone, as well as specific areas that could benefit immediately from time-area closures.

But, can education in a tourist environment also help generate sufficient funding to support the educational staff and economically support sea turtle conservation programs in under-funded areas of the world? The focus of this study is to document and quantify the tourist's attitudes towards and willingness to financially donate to international sea turtle conservation programs after receiving an educational tour of a non-profit sea turtle rehabilitation facility in the U.S. Additionally, the study will quantify the tourist's reception of beach management techniques that may adversely affect their beach experience. This study will be conducted between May 2006 and January 2007 at Sea Turtle, Incoporated (STI) on South Padre Island, Texas. Funded solely by donations, the mission of this organization, founded in 1977, is to: 1) rescue and rehabilitate injured sea turtles for return to the wild, 2) educate the public about sea turtles and their marine environment, and 3) support sea turtle conservation programs with volunteer labor and financial donations. Sea Turtle, Inc. is able to generate sufficient funding to support its educational staff and interns, save funds for a 3,000 sq.ft. addition, provide scholarships, and assist with funding for conservation programs in Texas, Tamaulipas, MX, Michoacan, MX, and Sri Lanka. Sea Turtle, Inc. has also funded a research project in Costa Rica and small educational projects in Tamaulipas, MX, and Roatan, Honduras. Therefore, from our experience, we hypothesize that when tourists are given an educational tour, using injured or non-releasable sea turtles and additional displays, they become openly more generous financially and enthusiastic in their support for saving sea turtles and beach management techniques that support sea turtle habitat. By way of exit surveys, this study will quantify this hypothesis. Furthermore, the results may encourage other conservationists in a tourist environment to utilize more education as a potential for generating additional funds or to ease the way with management of beaches to facilitate optimum conditions for turtles and marine life while minimizing the negative effect on tourism.

Data on sequence variants and their frequencies at rookeries provide a baseline for conducting mixed stock analysis on foraging grounds, or for assigning stock origin for sea turtles caught incidentally in fisheries. In the case of leatherbacks however, lack of variation detected in the mtDNA control region has limited its utility in such studies, with only three haplotypes detected among Atlantic leatherback populations based on 496bp sequences (Dutton et al. 1999). These nesting populations are characterized by one ubiquitous haplotype (DC1), and it has not been possible to distinguish the leatherback rookery in South Africa from Caribbean rookeries which are fixed for this haplotype. We re-sequenced samples that had been identified as DC1 from these rookeries using new mtDNA primers that amplify 800 bp of the control region, providing an additional 304 bp of new sequence data for analysis (Abreu-Grobois et al. 2006). We identified three new haplotype variants among the old DC1 haplotype that allowed previous ambiguities to be resolved, including distinction of the South Africa nesting stock from the Florida stock. These findings provide impetus for a global re-analysis of leatherback rookeries; we discuss implications for re-interpretation of phylogeography, and applications of these new data for resolving previous ambiguities in stock ID of strandings and fisheries bycatch.

NGSTR was called Sea Turtle Bay by local citizens, which is located in the east of Renping Peninsula, Guangdong Province, between Da Ya Bay and Hong Hai Bay. The whole area of NGSTR is 18 km super(2). NGSTR was founded by Guangdong Province, China in June 1985, and upgraded to national reserve status in Oct 1992 by the State Council. The State Council authorized the Ministry of Agriculture, China to manage NGSTR. In 2002, the Reserve was included in international important wetland sites by the Ramsar Convention (the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, especially as Waterfowl Habitat). In July 1993, it acceded to Biosphere Reserve Net of China National. In October 2003, Guangdong Provincial Fishery Administration was authorized to establish the Fishery Administration Station in NGSTR. NGSTR biodiversity is abundant, about 1300 living creatures are found. Annually from June to October, sea turtles swim to NGSTR for nesting and breeding. NGSTR have already succeeded to protect nesting sea turtles from 1985 to 2005 with 1,184 sea turtle emergences, 665 nestings, resulting in 75,319 eggs, and 62,188 sea turtle hatchlings. Of these, 53,203 sea turtle hatchlings were released. Since 1986, NGSTR conducted research on artificial hatchery techniques for green turtle nests. Satellite tracking was conducted by NGSTR in 2001. Swimming routes show that sea turtles can swim across Taiwan channel to Japananese coastal areas. During 2002-2003, NGSTR made use of a beneficial microorganism (EM) to increase sea turtle hatching rates from 40% to 80%. For public awareness, NGSTR Set up a sea turtle multi-function demonstration center, a rescue center, a specimen building, etc. With respect to education facilities, NGSTR built "the hands to hands global village for Chinese young children" and "Guangdong Province teenager education Base of science and technology ", which hold various environmental protection summer camp activities. NGSTR also invites people to participate in exhibitions on the protection of sea turtles. All of these activities help to raise public awareness on the protection of endangered wildlife. However, there are some problems for NGSTR.(1)The funds are short, much protection and management work can't be finalized; (2) lack of surveys on sea turtles and biodiversity; (3) Fishing by-catch affects sea turtles migrating to NGSTR; (4)The reserve scope is too small, only 18 square kilometers, it needs to be extended. To secure the future of sea turtles in China, the following recommendations are offered: surveys to identify critical habitat and better document population trends; the development of a long-term Action Plan to guide conservation and management efforts; enhance international, regional and national co-operation; improve public awareness and participation; stronger measures are needed to protect habitat; a science-based plan to restore populations is needed, effective mitigating of major threats is needed; and the reduction sea turtle by-catch by fisheries.

A total of 7 sites were visited with large quantities of hawksbill shell items found to be offered for sale in street stalls, souvenir shops, markets and jewelries. A total of approx. 414 shops and stalls were surveyed, with 249 of these offering hawksbill products for sale. In Santo Domingo, which was found to be the main trading spot and distribution center for these items in the country, over 95% of the shops surveyed exhibited a number of items from finger rings to elaborated pieces with gold and amber/stone applications. Vendors readily offered a 20-30% discount on any purchase with the possibility of a better deal if several items were bought. Some of the vendors claimed to have their own workshops were these products were elaborated. Other marine turtle products, such as turtle oil was also documented for sale, with anecdotal information indicating the use and trade of meat as well. Results show, that the findings mentioned in TRAFFIC'S "Swimming against the Tide" report from 2001, which indicate an existing trade and availability of marine turtle items in this Caribbean country, is still an issue of concern.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - New longline gear technology reduces sea turtle interactions in the Hawaii-based longline fishery AN - 20422836; 9094328 AB - Reducing sea turtle bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries may contribute to the recovery of sea turtle populations. Regulations designed to reduce turtle capture rates and proportion of turtles that ingest the hook (versus being hooked in the mouth or body or entangled) came into effect for the Hawaii-based longline swordfish fishery in May 2004. These regulations changed the shape and size of fishing hook and bait used by the fishery from a J-shaped hook with squid bait to a wider circle-shaped hook with fish bait. Analyses of observer program data show that, following the introduction of the regulations, there were significant reductions in sea turtle and shark capture rates and reduced proportion of turtles that ingested hooks, which may increase post release survival prospects. Capture rates of leatherback and loggerhead turtles declined significantly by 82.8% and 90.0%, respectively after the turtle regulations came into effect. Furthermore, measures did not compromise the target catch rates of swordfish. Results indicate that large-shaped circle hooks in combination with fish bait is a commercially viable turtle avoidance method that may be suitable for use in other pelagic longline fisheries worldwide, potentially resulting in substantial reductions in sea turtle bycatch in global pelagic longline fisheries.

We present the results of a 26 month programme "Caribbean Turtle Watch" initiated as part of Turtles in the Caribbean Overseas Territories (TCOT). A total of 521 dives were recorded from 8 dive operators over both Grand and Little Cayman. 116 known dive sites were covered. Data are analyzed to present size class distribution and an indications of abundance of all sighted species, spatial patterns of marine turtle observation with respect to Marine Protected Areas in the Cayman Islands, as well as overall spatial, seasonal and diel patterns of observation which may give insight into habitat use, feeding or activity patterns and ontogenetic habitat shifts. Furthermore, the impact of diver pressure on turtle presence and/or abundance, and the impact of turtle sightings on the level of enjoyment experienced by each diver are analyzed. This provides insight into the potential economic value of healthy and abundant reefs and marine turtle populations to the Cayman Islands economy which is heavily reliant on dive tourism.

Each year, 200 to 400 sea turtle stranding deaths are recorded within Virginia's waters. The cause of death for many of these strandings cannot be determined. There are many active fisheries in the bay and coastal waters during these months that could potentially be a threat to sea turtles. Currently there is little to no data on sea turtle interactions with many of these fisheries. The whelk pot fishery is an example of a fishery that has no data on sea turtle interactions. Therefore, this research will examine the extent to which loggerhead sea turtles interact with the whelk pot fishery. In the past, the main prey item for loggerheads in the Chesapeake Bay was horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus). As the horseshoe crab population was depleted, loggerheads started to forage on other species such as whelk. Horseshoe crabs are used as bait in the whelk pot fishery and channel whelks (Busycotypus canaliculitus) are the targeted species. Therefore, the assumption could be made that loggerhead sea turtles are attracted to whelk pots, potentially becoming entangled in the bridle or buoy line. Several voluntary observer trips were conducted, setting pots in the lower Chesapeake Bay. Catch data for each hauled pot was recorded, and any evidence of sea turtle interaction documented. Preliminary results indicate that three different types of whelk pots resulted in similar CPUE's for whelks. There were no incidences of sea turtles caught as bycatch; however evidence of possible sea turtle interactions was present. Behavioral experiments were conducted in Galveston Texas using captive reared loggerhead sea turtles greater than 60cm CNT. Randomly chosen turtles were allowed to interact with a randomly chosen whelk pot for 40mins. During the first forty trials, each baited pot type was tested ten times in its original bridle position. Ten trials were conducted using a non-baited pot. The next set of thirty trials tested each pot with the bridle position changed. To decrease the chance of startling the turtle, each pot was introduced to the water from a platform on the side of the tank. The buoy line went through a pulley system above the tank. Pots were slowly lifted and set into the middle of the tank. The buoy line was then tied off, leaving some slack in the line. For the final twenty trials, pot bridles were returned to their original position. Buoy lines were cut, leaving seven feet of line past the top of the bridle. Pots were set down in the tank on the side and then moved to the middle of the tank. The buoy was allowed to freely float in the tank. Preliminary results show that while sea turtles are attracted to and interact with whelk pots; they generally do not become entangled unless there is a lot of slack in the buoy line. Final, in-depth, results will be presented at the symposium.

One of the direct threats comes from the coastal fisheries sector. The coastal zone runs through three Provinces, namely the South, Littoral, and the South west. This represents almost 15% of the total population of Cameroon which has a growth rate varying between 2 and 6%, and their most important occupation is undoubtedly small-scale fishing. This study has been conducted to see the impact of artisanal fishing on sea turtles through surveys of fishermen and evaluation of carapaces. A total of 442 sea turtles were seen between 1999 and 2001. Fishing gear captured 400 turtles (90.5%) and 42 (9.5%) turtles were identified on the nesting beaches. The species observed included green turtles 166 (37.5%), olive ridleys 158 (35. 7%), hawsbills 110 (24.9%) and leatherbacks 11 (2.5%). These turtles were observed in Kribi 412 individuals (93.9%), Edea zone 20 individuals (4.5%), and Limbe area 10 individuals (2.3%). These results do not represent reality because certain areas like Edea and Limbe, which have intensive fishing activity, were not involved in our surveys due to the fact that this research was being confined to the Kribi area where the project is based. In conclusion, this study suggests that it is desirable to better organise fishing activity along the Cameroon coast because in 1995 there were 24,136 artisanal fishermen consisting of 4,149 (17.2%) Cameroonians, and 19,987 (82.8%) foreigners. This will help improve fishing techniques and permit the installation of patrol squads to survey the fisheries sector. These measures will be geared towards designing new policies for the management of the marine ecosystem in Cameroon.

Teachers are always looking for ways to make their teaching and connections with their students stronger, and to make learning more fun. Sea turtle education must be experiential, nurture interdependence, and must empower students to develop the judgment necessary to take responsibility for the conduct of their lives and the shaping of society. The Leatherback Sea Turtle A-Z Coloring and Activity book was designed to educate students, teachers, and the public about the importance of conserving the leatherback sea turtle which is endangered in New Hampshire and worldwide. Threats that leatherback turtles face are similar to threats that all sea turtles face around the world. Kids can help sea turtles by learning more about them and ways they can participate in their preservation. Middle school students are curious and open-minded, ready to learn. This book encourages an awareness of the importance and relevance of sea turtle conservation in New England states. Nesting only occurs in tropical or subtropical states, but sea turtles spend most of their lives at sea. Their feeding and migration routes make them subject to many human-induced threats in New England waters and worldwide. It is important to provide students and their teachers with visionary innovative approaches to environmental learning that shape an ideology that respects the environment and questions the actions of others who don't. This book will be made available to the Contoocook Valley School District (Middle School's) free of charge, and be placed in local libraries reaching thousands of students, teachers, and community members in the Monadnock region of New Hampshire, USA. Teaching young students to be better stewards of the earth and its resources will help ensure that sea turtles will be around for future generations to enjoy. Additional grant funding will allow for wider distribution of this publication.

The mission of the three aquariums is to inspire appreciation and conservation of North Carolina's aquatic environments. To educate visitors about sea turtles, the aquarium works with North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission to rehabilitate loggerhead hatchlings. During rehabilitation and growth, these hatchlings are exhibited and used in educational programs to teach visitors about sea turtles, focusing on local loggerhead nesting sites and conservation issues. Goals of the NCAPKS are to inspire stewardship of sea turtles and their natural habitats and instill conservation of these animals. In an effort to assess the aquarium's ability to achieve these goals through the exhibits and programs, the personal meaning mapping methodology was used to qualitatively analyze the visitors' learning experience. The method has been designed by the Institute for Learning Innovation to assess learning in environments like aquariums. School groups and general visitors of all ages were interviewed before encountering a sea turtle exhibit or program at NCAPKS and again interviewed after making the journey through the facility. This information is compared to learn what impact these programs and exhibits have on the visitors and their frame of mind regarding sea turtles. Information learned from this study will be used to further develop, improve, and diversify the exhibits and programs to achieve the aquarium's mission.

The hook tested in this study was a circle hook size 13 fitted with wire on the back of the hook to deter turtles from hooking and swallowing the hook. The appendage, made out of wire, was originally developed by a New Zealand researcher to decrease the catch of undersized fish and to minimize gut-hooking over all sizes that were to be released alive. Two successive cruises with three treatments (J hooks, circle hooks C13 with wire, and C16) were made during February and March 2006 off Peru and Ecuador. The experimental design had to be limited to fewer treatments than desirable because of sample size limitations. Eighteen sets (approximately 25000 hooks) were made during the trips. Experimental results indicate that in both legs there were considerable reductions in the hooking rate of turtles for both C13W and C16 circle hooks when comparing to the control J hooks. With respect to target species, the catch rates of C13 with wire matched the performance of the J hook in the Ecuador leg, while in the Peru leg (more coastal) J hooks caught more mahi-mahi than circle hooks. The results suggest that the addition of wires to circle hooks (or probably to any type of hook) is likely to further reduce sea turtle hooking rates, and also reduce deep hookings, with only a small additional cost and without negative impacts on target catches.

Involving youth in these projects can have a positive impact on conservation efforts, since they are stakeholders and will become the next fishermen, heads of households and professionals. The future of coastal communities and sea turtles swimming in coastal waters is in their hands. When young people create a group that engages in conservation activities, they act as an example for other kids and youngsters in their community; they focus their energy and free time in activities that strengthen their personal development, their learning skills and their creativity. Additionally, they reinforce their identity adopting responsibilities inside their communities and expand their knowledge of the local natural resources. The North Pacific loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) are critically endangered. As they feed off the Baja California Peninsula, they are vulnerable to fisheries, getting caught in gillnets and hooks as by-catch or as target species for the black market. Pto. Adolfo Lopez Mateos, Baja California Sur, Mexico is a fishing community crucial for loggerhead conservation because loggerheads aggregate at unusually high densities within the reach of local fisheries. Inspired by Ocean Revolution (an international program designed by Wallace J. Nichols to empower youth in the protection of the oceans), the proCAGUAMA team empowered youngsters from Lopez Mateos to create their own youth conservation group in the summer of 2006. The 8 founding members of the Kguaboys carried out a number of activities: they 1) established the group by choosing the name and logo which they painted on t-shirts; 2) created posters for a sea turtle nature center and 3) prepared short visit groups through it. They took part in the research activities of proCAGUAMA, participating in field investigation and learning about the field work done with loggerhead turtles to better understand and effectively share their concern for these organisms. They also wrote a song: "Come and Save It" (a call to protect the loggerhead turtles in their waters), performed during the Sea Turtle Festival. They created the KGUA-CLUB, a space to gather and plan their activities, and a place where they create crafts recycling trash, which they sell to fund their projects. By autumn 2006 the group boasted 14 members, a work agenda, and the momentum and resolution to operate on their own. These were some of the achievements the Kguaboys accomplished during last summer. Now they plan to visit kindergartens in their community to teach kids about the situation of loggerheads and visit other communities to teach what they have learned. The Kguaboys have inspired youth not only in Lopez Mateos, but in neighboring communities including San Juanico and Punta Abreojos. A way of measuring the future impact of the Kguaboys will be the number of youngsters integrating the group and their capacity to continue operating independently. We expect long-term conservation gains by empowering young people to form local conservation groups and regional networks.

With this paper we present data recorded during 9 years of activity, from 1997 to 2005. We rescued 162 loggerhead sea turtles: 33% of the total Caretta caretta specimens were stranded turtles, 75% of them were dead animals. Besides, 39% of all specimens were directly caught as professional fishing bycatch, with an incidence of dead specimens of 6%. Trammel directly caught 86% of all loggerheads, while only 1 turtle was caught by bottom trawl net and only 1 by drifting longline. However, 40% of the specimens entrapped in trammel net showed a previous interaction with a longline gear (e.g. hook presence). Complete data on 111 specimens show that longline fisheries actually have a highly negative impact on Caretta caretta in this area, with a peak of catches at a size of 46-60 cm CCLn-t. With respect to hook location, 81% of turtles presented deep embedded hooks: 43% were found in the oesophagus, 12% in the stomach, 26% in the intestine. Generally, each specimen had no more than 1 hook.

The nesting beach survey and the observations around fishing places have allowed us to record 222 individuals and 117 nests during the nesting period running from September 2002 to February 2003. Of the four species, two L olivacea and D. coriacea were found to nest on the beach unlike the two others C. mydas and E. imbricata. However, juveniles of C. mydas and E. imbricata were regularly found in this area.

Unchecked, it threatens to undo several years of proactive conservation and innovative management by Government and by local NGOs. The entanglement problem also places a severe strain on the ability of fishers to operate economically, to the point that many are unable to fish during the sea turtle nesting season. Finally, because the nation supports the second largest nesting aggregation in the world, incidental capture and mortality to reproductively active females constitutes a major threat to this Critically Endangered (cf. IUCN) species on both Atlantic basin and global scales. To open a dialogue on these issues, and facilitate a stakeholder driven process of solution-making, a National Consultation was hosted by the Wider Caribbean Sea Turtle Conservation Network (WIDECAST) and the Fisheries Division (Ministry of Agriculture, Land and Marine Resources) in February 2005. Invited participants included fishers, local and national NGOs, the government's natural resource management agencies, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and invited international fishing and conservation experts. The goal of the meeting was to review the problem of sea turtle bycatch in coastal gillnet fisheries along the north and east coasts of Trinidad where most leatherback nesting takes place, and to apply the shared expertise of the forum to devising a series of potential solutions suitable for field-testing and evaluation by fishers and natural resource management professionals. Twin objectives were proposed: (i) fishers must be better off economically as a result of any proposed solution to the bycatch crisis, and (ii) the incidental capture and mortality of leatherback sea turtles in coastal fisheries must cease. Participants acknowledged that no single solution would suffice. It was proposed that a series of investigations be designed to evaluate, under realistic field conditions, bycatch reduction options including: new hook-and-line baits; new fishing technologies or gear modifications to existing methods; and creative approaches to net avoidance. It was agreed that each testable would receive equal weight during the experimental phase, and that the results of each trial would determine subsequent experimental priorities. There was consensus that fishers be involved in the testing and development of each new method, with oversight and assistance by relevant experts, and criteria were devised to evaluate the results of such tests. New regulatory regimes, and in particular the implementation of time and area closures, were also discussed. Bycatch of endangered sea turtles in rural, poorly capitalized and largely artisanal fisheries is a serious issue throughout the world. Creative solutions that do not compromise the ability of low-income fishers to make a living are essential. The successful conclusion of the National Consultation ensures a multi-sectoral collaborative approach to the bycatch crisis in Trinidad, and provides a model for defining and achieving similar results elsewhere.

Years of custom have made it so that these people are well acquainted with sea turtle nesting behavior, to the point where they claim to know the best conditions during which to encouter nesting sea turtles according to specific dates, times, tides and moon phases. Is it true that decades of living near nesting beaches has taught local inhabitants a sure method for encountering nesting turtles? We, PRETOMA (Programa Restauracion de Tortugas Marinas), began sea turtle conservation efforts at nesting beaches on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica in 1996 and are able to identify the optimal dates, times, tides and moon phases for encountering nesting sea turtles. By conducting coastal inhabitant interviews regarding the aboved mentioned variables and comparing them with the data collected at our projects, we have determined whether or not there exists a correlation between popular coastal beliefs and our nesting beach project results.

A better understanding of patterns and causes of embryonic mortality is therefore necessary for developing effective conservation strategies. I examined the influence of distance to high tide line, mean incubation temperature, section- and zone of the beach on hatching success in Tortuguero, Costa Rica to evaluate the desirability of nest relocation. Hatching success was positively correlated with distance to the high tide line; nests below the high tide line have significantly lower hatching success. Mean incubation temperature is positively correlated with hatching success due to low survival at low minimum temperatures. Estimates of effects of distance to high tide line and mean temperature from a known fate model in MARK were reversed, probably because washed out nests do not meet data requirements and are excluded. The known fate model also shows that developmental stage significantly affects risk of embryonic mortality. The strong effect of distance to high tide line indicates that relocation of nests below the high tide line at Tortuguero may improve hatchling recruitment. The inconsistency with the known fate model suggests that there might be conflicting weaker selective forces that favour a more seaward nest placement. The negative effect of low temperature could possibly be coupled with weather conditions; storms and heavy rains accelerate the erosion process and increase risk of wash out or wash-over. The high embryonic mortality during the first developmental stage could partly be due to infertility, and an effect of badly placed nests dying during the first days of incubation.

The methodology employed for this study included use of overlays interpreted from remotely sensed data, participatory approaches and a stratified sampling design. Estimation of cover and species composition among sea grass communities was accomplished using a structured sampling design protocol described by Saito and Atobe (1970). A 50 x 50 centimeter quadrat subdivided into 25, 10 x 10 centimeter sectors were placed on the substratum within sampled areas. A total of 21 transects were laid resulting in over 500 quadrats. Ten (10) beach stretches measuring 5.84km were identified in both Funzi and Msambweni. Msambweni beaches had a higher index of human pressure than Funzi beaches. The mean temperature range at a depth of 10-30cm was higher for the Funzi hatchery when compared with samples from Funzi beaches (t= 2.7, p0.05). Seagrass cover ranged from 1.3-44.23% but there were no significant differences (p>0.5) between sites. Most of the sampling stations were dominated by Thelassodendron ciliatum, Thalassia hemprichii, Siringodium isoetifolium, and Halodule uninervis. A two-factor ranking exercise identified fisheries, sea urchins and pollution as the most immediate threats to sea turtle habitats within the study sites. During the survey period 67 green turtle nests were sighted in Funzi and Msambweni beaches and a total of 32 mortality cases were reported.

A bilateral accord, a trilateral agreement, two regional memoranda of understanding, and a legally binding treaty - all specifically for marine turtle conservation - have been the subject of news flashes, progress reports, updates, scholarly evaluations, enthusiastic proclamations, and gloomy critiques. Recently the fervor for these instruments seems to have subsided, and basic questions need answers: What was developed? With what objective? What did it involve? How was it administered? What achievements have been made? How has turtle conservation been improved by these advances? In what ways were these international accords instrumental in achieving conservation goals? In what ways have they failed? The results to date are highly variable. One accord, accompanied by fanfare and enthusiastic proclamations, has yet to be consummated, affording minimal benefits to strengthening multi-lateral attitudes toward turtle conservation. An MoU, although initially providing tangible achievements - despite considerable odds, has been left to languish by a major inter-governmental organization, and been ignored by powerful States with clear interests and responsibilities in the region. On the other hand, a bilateral accord - the first of its kind, and winner of an international prize - has continued to nurture strong cooperation at the technical level, transcending severe problems at the highest political levels. A hemispheric treaty has disappointed conservationists throughout the region because of its lethargy in resolving basic administrative issues; yet, there have been tangible contributions and cultivation of inter-governmental interests in collaboration. The instrument covering the largest, most diverse area, with nearly two dozen Signatory States, has shown the most rapid advancement, easily overtaking other agreements that were developed before it, and producing various tangible advances promoting the conservation of turtles and their habitats. Yet, it too has much to resolve if it is to achieve its intended goals. Clearly, it is too early to determine whether any of these instruments has failed or succeeded in the conservation of the slow-maturing, long-lived, highly migratory reptiles for which they were developed. The interminable frustrations of administrative, bureaucratic, and political obstacles, to say nothing of the substantial expenditures in human and financial resources, make it easy to criticize these initiatives, especially from the insulated comfort of an ivory tower. But they must be viewed within the light of the realities of international relations; some essential treaties have taken decades just to be negotiated and adopted: short of military intervention, there is no simple way to robustly promote the widespread adoption of collaborative measures for the conservation of shared resources. Until an alternative less-worse than international instruments is devised for sponsoring multi-lateral cooperation in the ways that divergent human societies and governance levels interact with resources that they all share and impact, there is reason for hope that there will be a treat to these turtle treaties. There is also every reason for turtle conservationists to become better informed, and involved with international instruments.

An analysis of the historical nesting activity on several nesting beaches along the Michoacan shoreline in 1978 shows the nesting activity of the black turtle on 17 beaches. Through this year, Colola and Maruata beaches represent only 48% of nesting females estimated on the Michoacan coast. We report nesting activity on nine beaches through 2003 including Colola and Maruata Beaches, which represents 92% of the total nesting black sea turtles estimated at Michoacan this year. These results have serious implications for the effective recovery of the black turtle population in Michoacan, because the higher concentration of nesting females in Colola and Maruata (92% of entire population in Michoacan) have implications on the sex ratios (82% of hatchling produced in Colola are females), and increase the risk of threats. We observed an increase in nesting females in the last five years on Colola Beach, but we lost nesting females on other beaches due to lack of conservation activities.

Determining the composition of these feeding grounds is an important tool for effective species management. While several studies have evaluated individual feeding ground compositions, relatively few have investigated their long term stability. Here we present a multi-year mixed stock analysis of loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) from subadult feeding grounds along the Atlantic coast of the United States from northern Florida to North Carolina, an area previously recognized as containing a genetically distinct nesting area. We use mtDNA haplotype data for individuals captured over 3 years, from 2000 to 2002, to estimate the contribution of natal beaches to this feeding assemblage.

The northernmost section is the hotspot for green (Chelonia mydas), hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata), loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and olive ridley turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea). Five species occur in central section: loggerhead, green, leatherback, hawksbill and olive ridley turtles. The most common species that nest in the area is the loggerhead. Finally, the southern section is an important breeding site for two species, the loggerhead and leatherback turtles. Natural causes threaten the marine turtle populations in Mozambique, including predation of hatchlings, beach erosion, and the increasing impact of human activities. Among the threats are loss and degradation of nesting areas and inter-nesting and foraging habitats, overexploitation of eggs, meat, carapaces ("tortoiseshell") and other products, incidental capture by and subsequent drowning in trawls and gillnets, as well as other fishing gear and pollution. The close proximity of coastal dwellers causes turtles to be vulnerable on shore and in coastal waters Apart from the survey carried out by Hughes in the 1971 and the current work in Maputo, Gaza, Inhambane, Nampula and Cabo Delgado, very little is known regarding the situation of marine turtles in Mozambique. However, some efforts are currently underway to protect turtle nesting areas in the country, mostly in the southern parts of Mozambique. The tagging programme is now coordinating six tagging and nest monitoring projects in southern section (Maputo Special Reserve, Biodiversity Conservations, and Sustainable Development Project in Macaneta), central section (Bazaruto National Park and Vilanculos Coastal Wildlife Sanctuary - Sao Sebastiao) and finally in the northern section (Primeiras and Segundas Islands and in the Quirimbas National Park) of the country.

Cape Verde is an archipelago in Macaronesia, situated 600 km west of Senegal and comprised of 10 volcanic islands and five islets. The vast majority of nesting activity in Cape Verde occurs on the Boavista, Sal, Santa Luzia and Maio islands. Sequences of 391 b.p. of the mitochondrial DNA control region were analyzed in 158 adult females to elucidate population genetic structure and phylogeography. Samples were collected at four nesting sites; Boavista (n=62), Sal (n=49), Sta. Luzia (n=35) and Maio (n=12) between 2004-2005. The number of haplotypes, haplotype diversity (h), nucleotide diversity (Pi), haplotype frequencies and fixation indices (Fst) were obtained. We examined if latitudinal variation in genetic composition occurs throughout Cape Verde, since the most distant islands are more than 200 km apart. These results will indicate us if rookeries from different islands may be considered as one or different management unit.

These data - the first of its kind reported for sea turtles or any epibiont host - are reported here. Our data are also the first on the composition of barnacle communities from individual turtles over multiple nesting seasons. These data demonstrate that individual turtles consistently utilized the same marine habitats (pelagic v. benthic marine v. estuarine benthic), and likely home-range, during each nesting season they were sampled. Frequency data are also used to demonstrate the periodicity of some barnacle species and how multi-seasonal epibiont surveys are necessary to adequately catalogue the epibionts of any turtle population. We also present data on the sudden disappearance of epibiota from nesting turtles that had previously (one nesting event prior) hosted dense aggregations of epibionts. We combine these accounts with photographic observations and data collected at Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary of fouled turtles actively grooming beneath limestone ledges - leaving scrape marks on the carapace similar to those observed from 'clean' loggerheads on the nesting beach. We discuss the length of grooming bouts and describe the biotic and abiotic factors associated with grooming sites. Grooming mechanisms (facultative, passive or active) are also described and compared.

We collected eight tissue samples of nesting females at the Caribbean coast of Guatemala to get DNA sequences of the mitochondrial D-Loop. We obtained PCR sequences with the Allard 1994 oligonucleotides LTCM1 y HDCM1 that produces a fragment of 550 bp. The sequences were aligned with Clustal software to identify polymorphic positions that were confirmed with re-analysis of samples. With this, haplotypes we determine the composition of the Guatemalan Hawksbill nesting females related to the sequences already published by the use of a parsimony analysys. We also show the historic effective population size based on the genetic diversity values.

We hypothesized that the decline on Playa Nancite could be due to low hatching success as a result of the high density of nests on the beach, such that recruitment to the population was insufficient to balance losses. To test this hypothesis, we examined density-dependent effects on hatching success and their underlying mechanisms by experimentally manipulating nest densities on the nesting beach. We set up four nest density treatments in 5 experimental blocks. We studied the effects of density on hatching success, CO sub(2) and O sub(2) concentrations and temperature both within a nest and in sand adjacent to a nest frequently during incubation. We found that experimental nest densities affected hatching success with highest density having lowest hatching success. Further, higher nest density led to lower O sub(2) levels and higher CO sub(2) levels in the nest with greater changes in the latter part of the incubation. Highest temperatures were recorded in high density areas. Temperatures were lower in the sand surrounding the nest than in the nest. Longterm failure in production of hatchlings due to historic high densities could contribute to the decline of arribadas on Playa Nancite.

Park, Playa Nancite; Marine ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Nest Relocation On Florida'S Urban Beaches: When Less Is More AN - 20422398; 9094228 AB - The sandy Atlantic coast beaches along Broward County's twenty-four miles of shoreline typically support 1800 to 2600 loggerhead (Caretta caretta) nests, up to 255 green turtle nests (Chelonia mydas), and 16 to 40 leatherback turtle nests (Dermochelys coriacea) each year. The same stretch of beach also supports some of Florida's famous resort cities, including Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, and Pompano Beach. To protect hatchling sea turtles from the negative effects of urban lights, Broward County implemented a massive nest relocation program. All nests found along most of the approximately 24 miles of sandy beach were transported to a few localized areas, with the majority of nests moved to the north end of the County. While implemented with the best intentions, there were logistical difficulties associated with locating, transporting, and reburying such a large number of nests during the five to six month nesting season. Clustering nests in relatively few areas resulted in the expected problems of predation, both on the beach and in the water off the beach, contamination of beach sands, decreased hatch and emergence success. Due to a lack of efforts to enforce local lighting ordinances, relocated nests were still subject to inappropriate light levels. Recently, the County has worked with state and federal government staff on reducing the scale of nest relocation. As part of this effort, more nests were left in place on darker sections of beach; nests in more brightly lit areas were still relocated but to an adjacent beach with less lighting and not to hatcheries. Local municipality staff increased efforts to ensure compliance with local lighting ordinances, while local property owners worked to improve their lighting.

The 2005 olive ridley nesting season on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica constitutes PRETOMA's (Programa Restauracion de Tortugas Marinas) 10 super(th) consecutive year of conservation and research at the beach of Punta Banco, located on the southern Pacific Coast of Costa Rica, making it the longest monitored solitary olive ridley nesting beach in the world. We present results from the Punta Banco project which represent the first ever decade-long data set regarding nesting characteristics of olive ridley turtles at a solitary nesting beach. Considering HS differences between solitary and arribada nesting beaches, as well as the fact that worldwide there exists a much greater number of solitary than arribada nesting beaches, it is important to include data from solitary nesting beaches to better estimate nesting trends and global populations of this species.

The nesting season generally occurs from May until August. Efforts are made to protect their nests from depredation and inundation in order to increase hatching success. Females reach sexual maturity between ages 25 and 35. The incubation period for loggerheads in Georgia is 660 days. This is somewhat variable due to temperature. Sex determination for hatchlings is also temperature dependent. Approximately 134 nests were deposited in 2001; 177 in 2002; 213 in 2003; 630 in 2004; 196 in 2005; and 227 in 2006. Fifty four identified nesting females were observed in 2001; seventy five in 2002; eighty five in 2003; zero in 2004; seventy six in 2005; and eighty in 2006. Of these females, they were observed to nest from one to six times on Blackbeard Island during a season. However, a female may nest on different beaches within a single season. Nesting trends, including remigration rates, internesting intervals and fecundity rates were measured. The mean remigration rate is 3.02 years for 41 females observed; 61% nested at three year intervals. Each female that nested was measured, identified by inconel and PIT tags, and divided into appropriate size classes.

Recruitment rates will be discussed and well as general demographic patterns for the Georgia nesting population.

High concentrations of metals detected in green turtles (Chelonia mydas) from Magdalena Bay prompted an investigation into the sources of metals in the region. We compared metal concentrations in sea turtle tissues with plant species found in their stomach contents, and with the same species of plants collected inside a sea turtle refuge area known as Estero Banderitas. Differences in the metal concentrations between marine plant species were minimal. Principal components analysis of the percent contribution of individual metals to the overall metal signature of each plant or tissue sample generated three principal components that explained 80.7% of the total variance in the data. When plotted relative to the first and second principal components, the plant samples collected within Estero Banderitas formed a grouping at the left side of the plot while the green turtle tissue samples and the plants from the stomach contents formed separate groupings. The plants in the stomach contents contained greater percent contributions of Cd and Zn than the plants collected inside the bay, while Pb and Mn contributed more to the metal profiles in the bay samples. The metal profiles in the sea turtle tissues more closely resembled the stomach contents than the same species of plants collected within Estero Banderitas, and suggest that sea turtles collected inside Magdalena Bay are using foraging resources outside of the Estero Banderitas region. This work supports the suggestion that metal profiles can be used as "environmentally acquired markers" to determine sea turtle feeding areas and aid in conservation efforts to establish adequate protection for these species based on improved understanding of the extent of sea turtle foraging areas.

We studied this size-class partitioning in waters near the Marquesas Keys, a ring of islands between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, north of the Straits of Florida. Several lines of evidence contributed to our hypothesis that waters near the Marquesas were regionally important for multiple green-turtle developmental stages: 1) a historic green turtle fishery had been formerly based out of nearby Key West, 2) fishermen near the Marquesas commonly observed small sea turtles likely to be juvenile green turtles, 3) large juvenile green turtles satellite tracked from northerly developmental habitats had end points near the Marquesas, and 4) adult green turtles have been satellite tracked by other researchers from nesting beaches to waters near the Marquesas. We studied sea turtles near the Marquesas by making hand captures and observations from small vessels conducting haphazard, unmarked, nonlinear, transect (HUNT) searches. These HUNTs took place with two observers in a 2.5-m tower on a 7.4-m, shallow-draft vessel. Our search paths and times were continually recorded by an onboard GPS, which also stored position locations for sightings and captures. Between 2002 and 2006 we sighted 301 green turtles along 376 km of HUNTs. Of these turtles, 60 were captured. There was a significant difference in turtle size (without overlap) between two principal habitat types near the Marquesas. Small juveniles (27.0--55.2 cm SCL, mean=43.1 cm, SD=7.5 cm, n=31) were captured in shallow (predominantly 0.5-1.5 m) waters with dense Thalassia seagrass surrounded by islands and grass flats. Large immatures (subadults) and adults (69.3--108.5 cm SCL, mean=89.5 cm, SD=10.1 cm, n=29) were captured from deeper (3-4 m) waters with patchy Thalassia and other seagrasses open to tidal currents and seas from the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. Sightings and captures per unit effort (transect distance) indicate that these habitats are grazed by one of the densest aggregations of green turtles in Florida. The open, deeper-water habitat is unique in the southeastern US for having foraging green turtles of subadult and adult sizes. This open habitat shows signs of extensive green turtle grazing, including abundant floating dung and clearly defined, close-cropped grazing plots. The grazing aggregation in both habitats appears to be distributed in a clustered pattern rather than random. We hypothesize that the small green turtles in the shallow habitat benefit from elevated growth rates due to higher water temperature and that the secluded habitat limits access by large sharks known to prey on turtles in the area.

The Zakynthos National Marine Park (ZNMP) in Greece was established in 1999 to protect an important Mediterranean loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) breeding habitat at Laganas Bay, while promoting ecologically sustainable activities for affected communities, in a region with a firmly established mass-tourism industry. Daphni is one of six loggerhead sea turtle nesting beaches found in the ZNMP. Annually, Daphni beach holds on average 11% of the ZNMP region's total nesting effort. Across two decades of monitoring, data collected by the NGO ARCHELON - the Sea Turtle Protection Society of Greece indicated that whenever the illegal businesses at Daphni operated without any form of regulation, a noticeable reduction in sea turtle nesting numbers was recorded at this beach, with nesting effort falling below average. In 2006, the Management Agency of the ZNMP attempted to forestall further degradation of the sea turtle nesting habitat at Daphni through initiating a pilot management programme. The programme aimed to improve nesting conditions for loggerhead sea turtles while simultaneously allowing stakeholder businesses to operate under specific guidelines, i.e. operation during daylight hours only and the incorporation of sustainable activities. The ZNMP presence at Daphni resulted in (1) reclamation of sea turtle nesting habitat lost to beachfront development (2) protective legislation being enforced throughout the nesting period, (3) quantitative monitoring of loggerhead sea turtle nesting activity and associated environmental factors, (4) the introduction of public awareness activities to this area. An increase in nesting numbers was recorded at Daphni beach in 2006, which resulted in it representing 14.5% of total loggerhead nesting effort in the ZNMP during the current season. While a range of parameters may have contributed to this increase, it may at least be partly attributed to the improvement of nesting conditions at Daphni in 2006. Hence, the case study of Daphni indicates that conservation of a sea turtle nesting habitat may co-exist with proper regulation and sustainable operation of stakeholder businesses.

Little beach habitat exists in some areas of Cuba, making it difficult to incubate large numbers of nests. Therefore, areas like Caleta de los Piojos Beach and Barcelo Beach are very important green turtle (Chelonia mydas) nesting beaches in Cuba. During the 2000 nesting season (June-September) at Calete de los Piojos Beach and the 2005 nesting season (July-September) at Barcelo Beach, two methods were used for the translocation of nests that were susceptible to destruction. Nests were moved either: 1) immediately after deposition; or 2) greater than 24 hours after deposition. A total of 81 nests were transplanted immediately or shortly after deposition to a protected area in Caleta de los Piojos Beach. A total of 121 nests were transplanted to a protect area in Barcelo beach 24 or more hours after deposition. Both methods were compared using a non-parametric t-test, because the data obtained from Barcelo beach did not have a normal distribution. The hatching success for nests translocated soon or immediately after deposition was estimated at 71.76% (range=16.54-96.36%, SE=1.80). For nests translocated after 24 hours (121 nests) the hatching success was estimated at 61.02% (range=0-100%, SE=3.15). Statistical analyses indicated a significant difference (t-test, p=0.003) in hatching success between the two transplant methods. Our results indicate that nest translocations should be performed soon after nest deposition in order to ensure the best hatch rates possible.

This proposal was developed with a vision to make T&T a Premiere Turtle Tourism Destination using the leatherback turtles as a flagship species. This initiative was based on the following 3 principles & philosophies: 1. Four community groups: Nature Seekers, Grande Riviere Nature Tour Guide Association, Fishing Pond Turtle Conservation Group and Black Rock Tobago will pool their strengths to support turtle conservation nationally. The main strategy is the development of the Turtle Village Trust to promote the leatherback turtles as a flagship species for economic, social and environmental growth of the area. 2. Broad scale development to the northeast area facilitating the development of Community Tourism as a tool to increase the economic standards of the area. This will be done by developing the cultural and natural attractions of the area, using the Leatherback turtles as the catalyst involving the local community as the main driver in this effort. 3. This project was initiated to address challenges that individuals & organisations face in the area - a. One of these challenges is un-sustained funding for conservation activities. Annually, community groups need to seek grant funding from the limited sources available in the country to continue projects that are similar among the groups, b. Additionally, where these communities are located has the highest incidence of poverty in T&T due to limited training, employment and other opportunities in the area. Thus any skilled or technical workers normally leave the communities for outside opportunities, c. Groups also lack the resources to acquire and finance quality management. As a result, the ability and time to apply for grants, developing research proposal and organization management is not within the scope of all these groups. It was the premise that the Trust will be a feasible alternative to these community organisations for hiring staff in high cost areas, such as Marketing, tourism development, fund raising, writing research proposals etc. that could not be financially sustained by CBO's, d. The lack of infrastructure to operate compounds the weaknesses of these groups as there are few organizations with office space to work from.

Starting in 2004, crawl data was directly recorded in pocket PC's fitted with GPS receivers running ESRI "ArcPad" software. Data collected with the pocket PC's is consistent with data collected since 1988 and recorded in MS Excel spreadsheets so there is no change in the data collected, only how it is collected. Direct entry of data into the pocket PC's virtually eliminated transposition errors that were common when the positions were recorded in field notebooks, then entered in office notebooks, followed by entry into the main computer. Using ESRI ArcGIS 9.1 with the spatial Analyst extension, any aspect of collected data can be visualized on aerials either as discrete points or as density maps where the higher concentration of points is shown as areas of darker color ramping down to lighter colors in less dense areas. Density maps make interpretation of complex data easier to understand by members of the general public, which helps correct lighting or many other beach issue effecting sea turtle nesting. Higher concentrations of false crawls and little nesting are found in such problem areas clearly delineated on the density map. In Boca Raton, a City Park experienced a 75% drop in crawls in 2004 which persists. This lack of activity in an unlit City Park representing nearly % mile of beachfront is most likely due to sky glow from the cities west of the beach. Evidence is shown by the presence if an "island" of activity in front of a set of three 80 foot high Australian Pine Trees whereas, the rest of the dune in the Park is low and even. Loggerhead nesting is seen to cluster in front of tall beachfront condominiums, a phenomenon first reported by Salmon et al (1995). Although nesting in Boca Raton has been declining in recent years, an area that retains nesting densities of the past 16 years is in front of a very wide and tall condominium south of the Boca Raton Inlet. The density maps show consistent activity directly in front of this condominium from year to year. An oblique view using Pictometry clearly shows the amount of beach shaded by this building. Many other aspects of the collected data can be viewed with this technology such as renourished beach areas, predatory mammals, and analysis of false crawl types (such as below the high tide line false crawls). Because nests in Boca Raton where shown to have high levels of pesticide in nests that also had a large number of unhatched eggs (Alva et al, 2003) analyses were made of the locations of nests with greater than 50 unhatched eggs. Inundated nests were not considered in these analyses. Surprisingly in 2006, a large concentration of these nests was found in and area of low nesting with high public access, showing that this technology can open even experienced eyes to new problems.

AN - 20422128; 9094212 AB - Since 1981, intensive nest relocation has been used as the primary tool to minimize hatchling disorientation by coastal lights in Broward County. It has always been recognized that nest relocation is a highly invasive, undesirable management tool but it was thought to be a necessity because only 5 of the 8 cities have lighting ordinances in place and at least 70 percent of Broward County beaches are very brightly illuminated. In 2006, with the partial enforcement of coastal lighting ordinances, this policy was changed by mandate of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission. No enclosed or open beach hatcheries were used and many more nests were left in situ. Preliminary evaluation of the disorientation incident reports from highly developed Fort Lauderdale, Lauderdale by the Sea, and Pompano Beach indicate that the number of disoriented hatchlings ranged between 16,532 and 19,255 in 2006. In 2005, estimated range was 7334 to 9400. Accounting for disoriented hatchling tracks that reached the water, the estimated number of missing hatchlings ranged from 13,020 to 14,447 in 2006 and from 5,198 to 6,382 in 2005. These numbers may be underestimates because hatchling tracks are often indistinct and are easily removed by rain and wind. Of the 45 nests left in situ on the Fort Lauderdale strip, 22 disoriented. Thirteen of these disorientations were inside cages. While the new management procedures may have contributed to the disorientation loss of about 8000 more hatchlings than in 2005, the new protocol also appear to have increased live hatchling production rates of relocated nests, possibly due to wider nest spacing and shorter relocation times and transportation distances. Based on comparison of the increases in overall live hatchling production rates of in situ and relocated nests from 2005 to 2006, we estimate that the new relocation protocol may have contributed to a 12 percentage point increase in the production of relocated nests this year. Comparison of the estimated hatchling production of all nests in 2006 with the projected hatchling production if the old procedures had been used, suggests that the new methods may have contributed to the release of an additional 18,500 hatchings. This compares favorably with the increased loss estimate above. Further reduction of beachfront lighting, from increased enforcement of lighting ordinances and education, has the potential to greatly reduce hatchling disorientation losses and reduce the need for relocation even further.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Ecology of the loggerhead turtles living in coastal waters of Japan AN - 20422125; 9094367 AB - North Pacific loggerhead turtles were considered spending years in the offshore waters along the Pacific coast of California, USA and Baja California, Mexico before return to Japanese waters for reproduction. Studies concerning loggerheads were related to nesting females, their eggs and hatchlings. On the other hand, there was very little information about oceanic turtles. Furthermore, even size distribution of those around the coastal waters of Japan was not cleared. There are two ways to investigate turtles around Japan; examination of stranded turtles and examination of captured turtles. In this study, we investigated 693 loggerhead turtles incidentally captured in three-pound nets around Cape Muroto, Shikoku, to clarify the ecology of the loggerhead turtles living in coastal waters of Japan. Their standard straight carapace lengths (SCL) were measured by a caliper from July 2002 to June 2006. SCL histogram shows uni-modal distribution with a modal range between 740-760mm (751mmc68.3 (SD), range: 563-1050mm). This value was larger than that of the North-Eastern Pacific, which is known to be a major nursery ground for loggerhead turtles breeding in Japan, and smaller than that of nesting females in Japan. This indicates that captured turtles in Japan include immature turtles and that these turtles (SCL>563mm) could return to Japan before reaching maturity. Additionally, turtles were captured all year round. At this point, turtles with SCL over 832mm (i.e. average of Minabe, one of the major nesting beaches in Japan) were considered mature ones. The majority of them were captured from April to September, especially from May to July. This period coincides with the nesting season in Japan.

Rapid captive growth rates combined with bone growth patterns atypical of reptiles have led researchers to propose that leatherbacks might mature in as little as 3 to 6 years. Skeletochronological analysis of marks observed along the lateral edges of histological sections taken from the scleral ossicles of leatherbacks originating from the eastern Pacific Ocean suggested that average age at maturity might occur at 13 to 14 years of age. However, researchers conducting this study were unable to verify that the marks analyzed represented annual cycles instead of resulting from environmental or physiological stressors. Because the marks in Kemp's ridley humeri are known to be annual in nature, in this study we first conducted a comparative skeletochronological analysis of Kemp's ridley scleral ossicles and humeri to validate the annual deposition of marks in ossicles. We then analyzed growth marks in leatherback scleral ossicles obtained from 20 large juveniles and adults ranging from 122.0 to 172.2 cm CCL (mean 147.1 cm), two small juveniles measuring 17 and 27 cm CCL, and 4 hatchlings that were found dead along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the US. We found that the lengths of the first marks deposited at the core of the ossicle were equivalent to hatchling ossicle lengths, demonstrating that this core mark is not an annual mark. Due to lateral compaction and resorption at the ossicle core, the number of marks visible at the tips of ossicle sections was consistently and significantly greater than the number of marks visible along the lateral edges, demonstrating that growth marks counts should be performed at the tips so that age is not underestimated. Ossicles from a small number of leatherbacks exhibited no resorption of early growth marks, allowing direct counts of the number of marks present to obtain age estimates. However, for the remainder it was necessary to use a correction factor protocol that incorporated the trajectory of early growth increments to estimate the number of resorbed marks, which was then added to the number of observed marks to obtain an age estimate for each animal. A generalized smoothing spline model was used to assess growth rates and to obtain an estimate of age at maturity for leatherbacks in the western North Atlantic. The results of these analyses suggest that leatherbacks in this part of the world may not reach reproductive maturity until 29 (95% CI 26 - 32) years of age. This age estimate is much greater than those proposed in previous studies and has significant implications for population management and recovery.

There is significant variation in the composition of the population among years. Mixed stock analyses employing a Bayesian hierarchical model were used to generate estimates of rookery contributions for each year. The proportions of rookery contributions varied among years both for the entire population and for recruits only. We discuss the limitations of one-year samples for characterizing rookery contributions to a foraging ground population. Previously, we published a description of the genetic composition of the Union Creek population based on a one-year sample collected in 1992. The current results change our understanding of the composition of this population and how we evaluate effects of distance to rookery and rookery size on foraging ground composition. Annual variation in recruits may reflect differences in annual survival to recruitment of hatchlings from each rookery or may represent differences in ocean currents directing small green turtles from oceanic to neritic habitats. We will discuss how these possible mechanisms can be distinguished and the implications of variable recruitment on the biology and conservation of green turtles. Effective management of migratory sea turtles requires knowledge of temporal as well as spatial patterns. Studies of initial recruitment patterns could reveal important insights on the distribution and movements of oceanic-stage green turtles.

A pilot experiment was conducted in Pejeperro Beach, Costa Rica, from July to September 2006 to assess the effectiveness of four techniques in preventing predation by white-nosed coati (Nasua narica) and northern raccoon (Procyon lotor) on olive ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) nests. Pepper and human urine were used to mask the smell of the eggs and 1 m super(2) and 0.25 m super(2) flat chain-link screens were placed over the nests to prevent access by digging. Fifty nests were marked, 10 for each technique and 10 more as controls; 25 nests of the total were left In Situ (IS) and the other 25 were relocated on the beach (RB). Nests with 1 m super(2) screen and with pepper were the least predated (6% both n=18) and had the longest mean incubation periods (46.1 plus or minus 15.65 days, mean plus or minus SD) and (39.2 plus or minus 15.66 days) respectively. Fewer RB nests were predated than IS nests. Urine and 1 m super(2) screens were most effective at preventing predation by P. lotor, and pepper was most effective for N. narica. Procyon lotor only predated IS nests. Future studies to evaluate the raccoon and coati populations in the area are highly recommended.

Unfortunately, incidental bycatch and illegal hunting of turtles also appear to be high, by both industrial operations and indigenous Wuayuu fishers. The most heavily affected species in the GV is probably the green turtle, although evidence for the distribution and severity of impacts is presently anecdotal. Between 1998 and 2006 we collected data about artesanal fisheries activities in the western coast of the GV: Net type, time of exposition, size of fishing fleet, geographic coordinates and depth of capture localities, numbers of turtles captured, size and sex (when was possible). We determined that approximately 900-1,000 turtles/year area captured, 2) the main capture areas for green turtle were Castilletes, Porshoure, Tapuri y Parashiou, 3) the months with more capture were between April and August; 4) Subadults were more common, but adults (females) also frequents, some with tags from Costa Rica, Panama and Isla de Aves. These results show that the rate of green turtles captured in the GV is high, and serious conservation programs (nationally and internationally) in this feeding area should take into consideration.

The SNBS program allows for the documentation of the total distribution, seasonality and abundance of sea turtle nesting in Florida. The INBS program is complementary to the SNBS program, and was established to measure trends in population abundance. The collection of nesting data for both programs is accomplished through a network of permit holders who monitor 190 beaches, covering approximately 1300 km each year. From data collected through these two programs, we measured loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and green turtle (Chelonia mydas) hatchling production from Florida beaches between 2001 and 2005 using seventeen sampled beaches from around the state. Following a common protocol, researchers at each site conducted nesting surveys and inventoried a spatially and temporally representative sample of the nests for hatchling production. Sample nests were inventoried to measure hatching success (hatched eggs/total eggs) and emergence success (hatchlings that emerged from the nest/total eggs). Both nesting beach and year had significant effects on the variability in loggerhead hatchling production on Florida beaches. Through analysis of the nest productivity data, we were able to estimate how many hatchlings were produced on Florida beaches during that period, and to identify egg/hatchling mortality factors on Florida beaches. Nest predation and erosion from storms were identified as two principal sources of nest mortality in Florida that varied by beach and year. Because Florida has the largest number of loggerheads nesting in the Western Hemisphere and significant numbers of nesting green turtles, hatchling production is important for both management and recovery planning.

During the nesting season of 2006, several beaches between Panama's border and Uraba Gulf in Colombia were survey by boat. We discovered the importance of Armila as a nesting beach in the Caribbean for leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea). This beach is situated at 839'48.9"N and 77 26'54.7"W, about 15km north of the Colombia-Panama's border, and it belongs to Kuna indigenous territory. This region appears to be optimal for nesting. There is no female or egg exploitation by the native community and there is no depredation by domestic animals. Kuna seems to be very conscious and respectful with nature and conservation of their environment and consider that any damage to a single turtle (including eggs) can negatively affect their ability to find and use natural resources in a sustainable way. All people in the community participate in the protection of turtles and their authorization to conduct our survey was discussed and accepted by all members of the community in the daily evening meeting where they decide their common future. With their help, we recorded a high density of turtle tracks on Armila beach with estimated values between 4,000 and 4,400 in only 5 km of beach between April and late June of 2006. Moreover, we have estimated a very high natural nest survival of 66%. This value is significantly higher than those found on close nesting beaches. For example, in 2006 at Playona (Uraba Gulf), which is together with Acandi the most important leatherback nesting area in Colombia, there was no survival at all (0%). However, this beach had a density of 195 nests and 70 females per kilometer in a study area of 3 km. At Playona, the most important cause of nest lost was from domestic predators and poaching. In contrast, on Acandi situated only 1 km from Playona, we found a nest survival of 69%, nest density of 508 and 181 females per kilometer, in 2.2 km length beach. There were occasional or sporadic nesting at other beaches on the Uraba Gulf with very low density values. In Armila, most nests remain undisturbed and average hatching success was 72% in natural nests. The main impacts on nests on Armila and Acandi were beach erosion and nest flooding. We show a rare case and a perfect model of the conservation and management of nesting beaches, which is possible in ancestral communities, like the indigenous Kuna, that maintain their ancestral social organization. So, Armila in the southeast of Panama, together to Acandi and Playona in the northwest of Colombia, would be one of the most important leatherback conservation and nesting areas in the entire Caribbean area.

While much attention has been focused in recent years on longline bycatch, less is known about incidental take in the rapidly expanding gillnet fisheries in Peru. We present information collected since 2005 by onboard observers on bycatch of sea turtles and other marine fauna such as dolphins, seabirds and sharks in the artisanal (small scale) fisheries in central and southern Peru. Data are from both gillnets and longline vessels. Preliminary results show that Peru's gillnet fleet has a similar frequency of interactions with sea turtles as the longline fleet (CPUE of 0.3304 vs. 0.3326 turtles/set for gillnets and longlines, respectively). At the species level, however, there are differences in interaction rates. Artisanal longline vessels primarily interacted with loggerhead turtles, whereas gillnets had greater take of leatherbacks and greens. In addition to fishing gear impact on turtles, there is also the issue of retained bycatch which tends to be much higher in localities where coastal gillnets operates. From turtles caught in longlines, 98.4% were released with minor injuries or without injuries. Of those turtles captured with gillnets, 70.1% were released without injury or with minor injuries and 23% were retained for human consumption. We discuss relative impacts of gillnet and longline fishing practices, current and planned mitigation measures and implications for sea turtle conservation and management in Peru. We highlight the need to address gillnet impacts on marine fauna - especially in the case of the critically endangered leatherback turtle.

AN - 20421993; 9094381 AB - Virginia is the northern limit of the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) nesting range on the U.S. Atlantic coast. As many as eight to ten nests have been documented in a single breeding season and the majority of reported nests occurred on the state's southern mainland beaches. From 1969 - 1979, Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge, Charleston County, South Carolina engaged in an experimental egg translocation program during which 226 nests (23,309 eggs) were moved from Cape Island and relocated to three mid-Atlantic national wildlife refuges: Pea Island NWR (PINWR), Dare County, North Carolina (55 nests, 5,675 eggs, range of years=1972-1978); Back Bay NWR (BBNWR), City of Virginia Beach, Virginia (78 nests, 7,315 eggs, range of years=1972-1979); and the southern half of Assateague Island which is owned and managed by Chincoteague NWR (hereafter referred to as CNWR), Accomack County, Virginia (93 nests, 10,319 eggs, range of years=1969-1979). The goal of this project was to extend the U.S. Atlantic loggerhead's breeding range to what was then considered its historical northern limit by translocating eggs to federally protected beaches that were physically and ecologically similar to southern sites with well-established nesting populations. This objective was based on rare observances of nesting activity as far north as New Jersey prior to the initiation of the study. Hatch success rates (i.e., percentage of hatchlings that emerged from translocated eggs and subsequently entered the ocean throughout the study period) at the translocation sites varied (PINWR=62%, n=3,509 hatchlings; BBNWR=76%, n=5,577 hatchlings; CNWR=55%, n=5,703 hatchlings) and was correlated with the stage of incubation when translocations occurred and to a lesser extent the geographic distance between Cape Island and the translocation site. Although natural nests were documented at all three translocation sites prior to the study, they occurred with far greater frequency at PINWR and BBNWR. Based on preliminary review of the study's reports, nesting attempts at CNWR were extremely rare (annual mean=0.73 nests, SD=0.79) during the project period. In 2006, CNWR had a total of 7 nests, the highest number reported at CNWR to date. Moreover, the annual mean between 2002 and 2006 increased to 2.6 nests (SD=2.97). Loggerheads exhibit high natal site fidelity and are estimated to reach sexual maturity between 30 and 35 years of age, which coincides with the number of years between the aforementioned increase in nesting activity and the initiation of the translocation project in 1969. In this poster we address the question of whether the observed increase may be the result of past translocation efforts, a natural expansion of the nesting range because of greater protection afforded the species since its federal listing in 1978, or a product of other factors such as increased monitoring or climate change.

This data includes nest location, incubation time, disturbances, and post-hatching counts of all hatched and unhatched eggs in each nest. Field observations suggest that the percentage of unhatched eggs per nest has increased since 1990, and preliminary data analysis of all undisturbed nests for all years support this observation. Hatching success is affected by the temperature, moisture, and gas exchange in the nest, and may also be affected by the nutrition, health and contaminant load of nesting females. My research will examine hatching success as percentage of unhatched eggs per nest for both green and loggerhead sea turtles. I will look at trends for each species individually and will also compare trends between the two species. My hypothesis is that hatching success is decreasing over time, and that this decrease is the result of population-wide effects, rather than the local nesting environment. Boca's beaches are divided into ten zones (A-J) that encompass a wide variety of nesting habitats. Given these differences, one would expect to find significant differences in hatching success for both species for each zone. If nesting success is decreasing for all zones in a similar manner, one can conclude that this decrease is the result of population-wide effects rather than local nesting conditions. If hatching success varies significantly for each zone and shows both increased and decreased success, one can conclude that hatching success is the result of nesting beach conditions. A significant difference in hatching success between loggerhead and green sea turtles may suggest that diet or nesting habits are influencing hatching success. This observational study will not single any one nesting mechanism, local or population-wide, that is impacting hatching success, but will report area trends that may guide future research.

The area is located in the Rocha department (34 degree 20' S; 54 degree 47' W) covering over 53 km super(2) of a marine-coastal ecosystem, which includes 17 km super(2) of mainland and 36 km super(2) of marine surface. This area which is part of the "Eastern Wetlands and Coastal Fringe" Biosphere Reserve, and also a RAMSAR site since 1982, has recently been proposed as the second coastal-marine protected area of the country. Its geomorphologic and biological characteristics such as rocky shores with abundant seaweed beds and forage material make the Valizas-Cabo Polonio coastal-marine area a relevant feeding and developmental habitat for juvenile green turtles. During the summer months of 2005 and 2006, juvenile green turtles were captured along the study area, using an entanglement net. Each individual was measured and tagged in both front flippers. Monthly censuses were conducted along 105 km of the coastline from, from Punta del Diablo (45 km to the North) to La Paloma (60 km to the South). Necropsies of dead stranded sea turtles were carried out searching for cause of death. All the research activities were accomplished with education and conservation activities with Valizas and Cabo Polonio communities. A total of 22 juvenile green turtles were captured. Curved carapace length (CCL) of the turtles ranged from 31.9 - 50.9 cm (mean = 38.5 cm, SD =5.1).Three recapture events were confirmed, one of them was an individual tagged in Valizas, captured eight months later in Espiritu Santo - Brazil (2250 km away), being an evidence of migratory behavior. The other two were recaptured in the study area, one was tagged in Cerro Verde (52 km North) eight days before, and the second individual was tagged and recaptured in a period of fourteen days in the same area Valizas-Cabo Polonio. A total of 50 stranded sea turtles were found during the beach surveys, being 19 green turtles ranging from 29.5 - 56.6 cm (mean = 40.0 cm, SD = 7.7), 25 loggerhead turtles ranging from 51.2 - 83.1 cm (mean = 64.2 cm, SD = 9.2) and 6 leatherbacks ranging from 129.0 - 155.0 cm (mean = 143.6, SD =10.0). Anthropogenic debris was found in the stomach contents of two green turtles. The lethal and sub-lethal effects of this debris still remain unknown. Evidence of drowning due to incidental capture in fishing gear was recorded in 5 loggerheads and 3 green turtles. No cause of death was determined in the rest of the individuals due to high putrefaction state. However, it is estimated that fisheries may be killing a higher number than the evidenced in the survey. Education and conservation activities with the local communities (workshops with fishermen, activities at local schools, beach cleaning with tourists and locals, etc) conducted in previous years enable us to develop all the described activities with the great support of the locals from Valizas and Cabo Polonio.

Recovery of endangered species like the Kemp's ridley (Lepidochelys kempii) depends, in part, on a comprehensive examination of sea turtle use of Texas coastal habitats that relies on in-water data to: document spatial/temporal occurrence; identify essential habitat; assess potential fisheries and non-fisheries threats to survival; and revise outdated recovery plans. STFERL is conducting entanglement netting surveys to assess sea turtle species composition, abundance and distribution in five Texas estuaries - 1) Upper coast: Sabine Lake and Galveston Bay; 2) Mid-coast: Lavaca/Matagorda Bay; and 3) Lower coast: Aransas Bay Complex and Lower Laguna Madre - during 2006-07. This assessment relies primarily on determining relative abundance of sea turtles as measured by catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE = # of turtles/km-hour of netting). The current surveys along with historical sampling by STFERL in the Lower Laguna Madre (1991-94; 2002-03) and Lavaca/Matagorda Bay (1996; 2001-02) provide additional CPUE data with which to assess population trends across time. Entanglement netting during May-August 2006 yielded 36 sea turtle captures, all from mid and lower coast estuaries. Green (Chelonia mydas: 27), Kemp's ridley (8), and loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta: 1) comprised these captures. Green turtles dominated seagrass habitats of lower coast estuaries while mid coast counterparts primarily yielded Kemp's ridleys. CPUE from the lower Laguna Madre and Lavaca/Matagorda Bay in 2006 was approximately three times higher than the overall mean CPUE for previous years in these locations. Recapture of tagged turtles during the 2007 field season will enable assessment of growth and residence trends for estuarine-dependent life stages. Plans for 2007 also include sampling a wider array of habitats and more randomization of netting locations in selected estuaries to generate better population estimates and maximize information retrieval opportunities.

During the past ten years, nesting activity on the island's beaches has risen over 400% to levels exceeding 1,000 nests. Potential factors contributing to this large increase include: regional measures taken to reduced trade in hawksbill products, a reduction in Cuba's managed turtle harvest, and reduced abundance of top-predators. Locally implemented measures such as pig fencing erected on Mona Island designed to reduce turtle nest loss, plus increased vigilance to reduce turtle poaching can be credited with having the greatest impact on promoting growth of the hawksbill population. The results of over fifteen years of monitoring the Mona Island beaches for hawksbill nesting activity are presented and compared with the population trends reported for several other important breeding areas for hawksbill turtles in the Caribbean Sea. Further steps required to ensure the recovery of this species are discussed.

In 2006, a total of 9,018 loggerhead nests and 1,382 green turtle nests were laid within the 21 km of the ACNWR that the University of Central Florida Marine Turtle Research Group (UCFMTRG) monitors. Since establishment of the refuge in 1990, armoring (sea walls, groins, and rock revetments) has been prohibited, resulting in a "natural" beach for nesting marine turtles. In 2005, engineered dunes were constructed to replace the dunes destroyed by the 2004 hurricanes. The 2005 marine turtle nesting season resulted in an increase in nest production compared to 2004; however, the nesting success rates (number of nests over the total number of crawls) were significantly lower than nesting success rates of 2004. In 2006, the engineered dunes were re-shaped to create a gradual slope and to reconstruct damaged dunes from the storms of 2005. Marine turtle nesting activity was monitored again during the 2006 nesting season within the ACNWR by UCFMTRG. Nesting success rates for the engineered dunes and natural beach were determined for loggerheads and green turtles, and compared to the 2005 and 2004 nesting success rates. Compared to the 2005 nesting success rates, the 2006 rates were higher and were similar to the "natural" 2004 nesting success rates. It appears that the more gradual slope that characterized the template of the 2006 engineered dunes is more conducive to marine turtle nesting.

Approximately 1300 fragments of sea turtle were recovered representing plastron, carapace, vertebrae, and other skeletal elements. Sea turtle remains weighed three times more than other vertebrate fauna recovered, which included numerous reef fishes. Utilizing archaeological, historical, and ethnographic records, the role of the sea turtle in prehistoric Caribbean and Lucayan culture is investigated. Zooarchaeologists typically categorize sea turtle only to the family level, but this practice raises the issue of which of the half-dozen or so Cheloniidae are represented in the archaeological deposits. Green turtle (Chelonia mydas) is culturally preferred worldwide, loggerhead (Caretta caretta) has been previously recovered on San Salvador, and hawksbills (Eretmochelys imbricata) are common in the waters of San Salvador today. It is hoped that ongoing stable isotope and DNA analyses will shed light on the identity of the archaeological sea turtles recovered from the North Starr's Lake site and other sites on San Salvador.

Additionally, many turtles were entangled in fishing nets. These were the two main threats which led to concern for the protection of sea turtles in Guyana. The Guyana Marine Turtle Conservation Society (GMTCS) was the first Non-Governmental Organization established for the protection and conservation of marine turtles. Established in April 14, 2000, its vision includes promoting the establishment of a proposed protected area of approximately 90-mile stretch of beach along the north-west coast of Guyana, called Shell Beach and "managing this ecosystem to promote the conservation and sustainable utilization of the resources of the area for the benefit of all stakeholders." Shell Beach is the nesting ground for four of the world's eight species of marine turtles, namely: Leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea), Olive Ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea), Green (Chelonia mydas) and the Hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata). In addition, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-Guyana and GMTCS in August 2003. This collaboration provides for data collection by the GMTCS and joint analysis of this data by the EPA. The objectives of the data analysis are to compare the activities and the number of hatchlings produced by each species of turtle throughout the nesting season (March-August annually). The analysis focuses on the number of turtles observed; number of nests; number of false crawls; number of turtles returned and the number of unseen turtles. Of the data analyzed, the greatest number of green turtle nests was noted in April of 2005 where 46 nests were counted. Leatherbacks are the most commonly observed species, and nesting remained at high levels (eg. 275 nests were recorded for 2005). The number of hawksbills are smaller in representation for this year, 17 were observed as compared to 8 in the previous year. The Olive-Ridley is rarer, only two were observed in 2004, one nest recorded. The month of June is the peak of the season where the greatest numbers of turtles are encountered and the greatest number of nests are recorded as well. Over the five years (2001-2005), the greatest number of turtles was observed in 2005 and the greatest number of nests was seen in 2004. In terms of turtles hatched, the year 2004 had the highest number of turtle hatchlings (3066). However, this number declined to 1,714 in 2005. Of all the species, leatherbacks produced the greatest number of hatchlings over the 5 year period. No hatchlings were observed in 2002. It is our hope that with continued monitoring of the beach by the GMTCS, sea turtles will continue to nest at the beach. With constant research and monitoring, there should be a decline in poaching and slaughter of adult females. The EPA of Guyana and GMTCS will continue to work closely to analyze data from the nesting beaches and to share information for decision-making and management of marine turtles in Guyana and around the world. The EPA and GMTCS would like to express sincere gratitude to the organisations as well as to the Sea Turtle Symposium for your generous donations in order to make this day possible.

Government, academia and the fishing industry are working together to develop fishing gear modifications to reduce the bycatch of sea turtles. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in the Northeast region has recently supported and collaborated on two such projects that have resulted in gear modifications and subsequent rule making that will reduce sea turtle bycatch in two fisheries: the Atlantic sea scallop dredge fishery and the Chesapeake Bay pound net fishery. The scallop dredge modification is a series of chains strung in squares that prevent sea turtles from entering the dredge bag. This modification was tested in 2003-2004 in a paired comparison between a standard dredge and a dredge equipped with turtle chains. A total of 3248 hauls (1624 paired tows) were conducted and subsequently analyzed for differences in the bycatch of sea turtles and targeted scallop catch. Eight turtles were captured in the scallop dredge without turtle chains and there were no catches of sea turtles in the dredge equipped with turtle chains. Scallop catches were variable and differed between vessels. Overall a 6.7% reduction was observed in the catch of scallops. The pound net modification replaced the mesh in the top 2/3 of the pound net leader with stiff vertical lines spaced two foot apart to allow turtles to pass through. Studies were conducted in 2004-2005 comparing two modified leaders fished adjacent to two standard leaders in pound nets of Kiptopeke, VA. In 2004, the modified leader caught a leatherback turtle, while the standard leader caught seven hard shell turtles; the stiffer modified leader tested in 2005 did not capture a single turtle while 15 hard shell turtles were taken in the standard leaders. Although comparison of the fish catch data was problematic, the modified leader appeared to catch similar quantities of targeted species. Both these projects represented collaborations between the fishing industry and NMFS. The gear modifications were suggested by the fishing industry, NMFS supported the work with funding and by designing scientifically defendable sampling approaches to test the modified gear. Additionally, the studies were all conducted using commercial fishing gear operating in the fishery. This approach to gear research improved industry acceptance of the work that was conducted. Because commercial gear and fishing practices were employed, the implementation of the modification was easier and there was more confidence that the gear would work in the fishery.

During the first 10 years, the work focused on nesting areas. Sea turtle interactions with the coastal fisheries have been the focus of Projeto TAMAR/IBAMA field activities since 1990 (Thome et al, 2003), when TAMAR expanded conservation activities for sea turtles feeding areas. Conservation strategies and measures to mitigate sea turtles capture and mortality have been continuously implemented. In 2001 Projeto TAMAR/IBAMA created the Brazilian National Action Plan to Reduce Incidental Capture of Sea Turtles in Fisheries. This federal action plan was designed to fulfill the following objectives: i) Fisheries monitoring, ii) Development of specific research, iii) Mitigation measures, iv) Support to sustainable fisheries, v) Establishing discussion forum. Through this Plan, the pelagic longline fishery has been the main investigated fishery and, in order to effectively manage it and improve the analysis about sea turtle interactions, Brazil's pelagic longline fishery was divided according to 13 parameters, into 4 distinct fisheries. 1) the American model N/NE, 2) the American model S/SE, 3) the Chinese model, and 4) the Itaipava model. In such case, the term "fishery" was defined as the unit upon which evaluation and management of interactions between sea turtles and fishing activity is based. These four different fisheries interact with sea turtles by different ways. Between 1999 and 2005 Projeto TAMAR - IBAMA, with collaboration of some partnership, sampled 11.415.492 hooks, the Chinese model longline was the principal fishery sampled, representing 64,85% of total amounted, followed by the American model N/NE longline (22,6%), American model S/SE longline (12,25%) and Itaipava model (0,3%). Despite the American model S/SE longline represents only 12,25% of total number of hooks sampled, this fishery answers by 71,5 % of the total number of turtles caught, followed by the American model N/NE (15,7%), Chinese model (9,1%) and Itaipava model (3,7%). The interaction of different species with these four fisheries are different too. The American model S/SE longline and Itaipava model catch primarily loggerhead followed by leatherback, green and olive ridley, while the American model N/NE longline catch mainly: leatherback followed by olive ridley, green and leatherback, while the Chinese model longline catch principally: olive ridley, followed by leatherback, green and loggerhead. Considering that the Brazilian coastline has more than 8.500 Km with different climatic and oceanographic conditions, and that sea turtles species interact in distinct ways, both qualitative and quantitative, with different longline fisheries, we believe that to share this fishery, according to homogeneous parameters, in more than one fisheries is an important management tool of the problem; "Sea turtles x fisheries" and, contribute for better comprehension about the interaction between sea turtles and longline fisheries, helping future conservation strategies and decisions.

This investigation was undertaken during the nesting season from March 2006 to June 2006 on Hormoz Island, an important nesting region for hawksbill turtles in Iran. Specific biometrical measurements were taken, such as turtle weight and straight carapace length and width. The number and location of nests, as well as egg number, diameter and weight were also recorded. In addition, beach slope and sand grain size were measured. The results were analyzed using SPSS and Minitab software. During this season, 41 turtles were chosen for biometry with only 49% of them have a success lading. Average turtle weight was 44.9 kg (range=34-54 kg). Mean straight carapace length was 62.5 cm (range=58.5-72 cm). Curve straight length included almost 76% of length carapace. Length and width were significantly correlated at the 95% level.

In North Carolina's sounds, evidence of loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) damage to gear used in the blue crab fishery is mounting. This federally threatened marine turtle causes significant economic problems for blue crab fishermen by damaging crab pots, stealing bait, and overturning crab pots, effectively reducing crab catch. During the summer of 2005 (June 14-August 26), we conducted a collaborative experimental fishing study with commercial crabbers to characterize location, timing, and extent of loggerhead sea turtle damage to their crab pots. We mapped the location, movement, and catch of 100 individually-tagged crab pots throughout the study and recorded GPS linked sea turtle sightings, damage to individually-numbered crab pots, proportion of dead or eaten crabs per pot, and "fate" of individual crab pots (e.g., slightly damaged, damaged beyond repair, replaced, etc.). We observed sea turtle damage on 14% of trapping occasions, affecting 82% of the 100 pots over the fishing season. We measured 40% reductions in crab catch in damaged pots, and crab catch was significantly higher in undamaged pots (p < 0.05), with approximately double the mean catch of damaged pots. Crab catch peaked in mid-July, whereas pot damage peaked between late June through early July, and turtle sightings (N=10 individuals) were spatially consistent with areas of high gear damage. Bycatch consisted of predominantly finfish and other crab species, but also included two dead Diamondback terrapins (Malaclemys terrapin), a NC species of special concern. Our results may guide crabbers away from sea turtle and bycatch "hotspots", to times and areas of minimal overlap with sea turtles where they could concentrate their fishing effort to minimize damages.

AN - 20421781; 9094404 AB - Before 2004, Syrian beaches were of no known importance concerning sea turtle nesting in the Mediterranean. There were only indications from the early 1990s that low-level nesting by loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) existed (Kasparek, 1995). The surprise came in the summer of 2004, that Syria ranked third in the Mediterranean (after Turkey and Cyprus) for green turtle (Chelonia mydas) nesting through discovery of one major and several minor nesting beaches, in addition to verifying the predicted low-level loggerhead nesting (Rees et al, in press). Follow-up work in the summer of 2005 recorded green turtle nesting levels at approximately one third of the previous year (Jony, unpublished data) during what was apparently a 'bad' year for green turtles in the Mediterranean. In 2006, nesting levels recovered and exceeded all expectations. There were 218 nests (seven from loggerheads and 211 from greens) recorded along the main 12.5 km nesting beach, located south of Latakia. The high-level nesting recorded in 2006 sadly does not reflect improved conditions at the nesting beaches, but is part of natural fluctuations in levels of nesting from one year to the next. The nesting beaches are still being misused and degraded. Beach users discard large amounts of plastic litter which ends up on the beach, brought in by the sea currents or blown from the dumps built into the beach dunes. This plastic hinders nest construction and safe passage of the hatchlings down the beach to the sea. Tractors and other 4WD vehicles still regularly use the beach, their tires compressing the sand, crushing nests or creating impassable ruts that act as death traps for the hatchlings. The glow in the sky, behind the nesting beach created by artificial lighting, still lures hundreds of hatchling turtles to their deaths in the dunes. Nesting turtles are still deliberately and maliciously being injured and killed while they harmlessly crawl over the beach. Large populations of ghost crabs, supported by the quantity of litter on the beach, attack many of the hatchling turtles, killing them on the beach or maiming the escapees thus reducing their survival chances at sea. On top of this, packs of feral dogs and wild canids depredate many of the nests, destroying whole clutches after several days of repeated plundering. The nesting levels recorded in Syria for 2006 are encouraging, but the huge loss of nests and hatchlings to anthropogenic factors must be significantly reduced if we are to ensure the population is to survive another generation.

A first group of Fifty-five individual turtles were captured at the fishing area of Patok and one in Velipoje. These sea turtles were measured (CCL and CCW) and the majority of specimens were Caretta caretta (92.6%) and were longer (CCL) than 50 cm, whereas 2 individual Chelonia mydas were observed as juveniles (CCL 30-39 cm) and, consequently, much smaller. Of 54 individuals of Caretta caretta, 36 of them (67.3%) were female, 11 individuals (19.2%) were male and 7 of them (13.5%) were undefined as to sex. Fourty-four individuals of Caretta caretta were tagged. Most turtles were caught during May and August 2006. Results indicate that Patok is a very important area for sea turtles in Albania. All sea turtles observed were carrying various epibiont flora (algae) and epibiont fauna (Crustacea, Mollusca and Polychaeta). The animals were checked for wounds, hooks, epibionts etc. Two individuals of Caretta caretta were missing an appendage. A second group of sea turtles encountered from fishing gear included 24 individual (Caretta caretta) that were tagged during the years 2003-2005 by us at the fishing area of Patok. A third group of turtles included in our study included 189 individuals reported to us by fishermen (through our own inquiries or from fishermen by phone). These reports came from fishing areas in the Adriatic Sea and Ionian Sea: Velipoja, Shengjin, Tale, Patok, Bay of Lalzi, Durresi, Divjaka, Semani, Vlora and Saranda. Thirty-five turtles were dead. All individuals were loggerheads. We have also undertaken activities aiming to raise the level of education and awareness of fishermen and other stakeholders regarding the protection and preservation of sea turtles. The level of education and awareness of fishermen is still an important issue because the Albanian ones are not organized in co-operatives and most of them are poor. A majority of the fishermen have a low education level; some of them were engaged with illegal fishing.

Growing global attention to the accidental capture of sea turtles and other non-target species by fisheries provides an opportunity for the sea turtle community to assist RFMO Secretariats and member states in assessing and addressing this problem. To date, the world's fishing commissions have established 16 Regional Fishery Management Organizations (RFMOs) to regulate and manage high seas fisheries. With the exception of several RFMOs whose regulatory areas are in far northern or southern latitudes, sea turtles can be expected to interact with the fleets of most RFMOs. Because there is an increasing awareness of the need to maintain ecosystem health, RFMOs are an excellent vehicle for promoting sea turtle bycatch reduction on a large scale. Bycatch reduction also should be facilitated by the fact that many countries which participate in RFMOs are members of multiple agreements. At its 26th annual symposium in 2006 in Crete, the International Sea Turtle Society passed a resolution calling on RFMOs to urge their members to adopt and implement the FAO's "Guidelines to Reduce Sea Turtle Mortality in Fishing Operations" and resolutions to reduce bycatch. Subsequently, the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) and the Southeast Atlantic Fisheries Organization (SEAFO) passed resolutions to collect data on sea turtle interactions; other RFMOs are considering similar action. These resolutions are the result of the commitment by governments and RFMO Secretariats to address the unintentional capture of sea turtles, thanks in large part to the pivotal role played by the sea turtle community over many years in raising awareness and generating government support. We should continue to catalyze action by other RFMOs. Research and much work lies ahead as these initial steps, as important as they are, will not resolve the bycatch issue. Once RFMOs adopt resolutions on sea turtle bycatch, the contracting parties must be encouraged to collect data and report their findings. Where interactions must be addressed, support may be needed for research and implementation of changes in fishing gear or fishing methodology. Member states will need to be convinced to couple international protections with identical safeguards within their EEZs. FAO deserves a great deal of credit for its work to reduce the bycatch of sea turtles and other non-target species and raise global awareness about this issue. Since hosting the technical workshop that resulted in the production of "Guidelines to Reduce Sea Turtle Mortality in Fishing Operations" in December 2004, FAO has turned its attention to developing materials on ways to implement them.

Fishing trips were carried out in 2005 and 2006 in the Strait of Sicily, an area of the Mediterranean Sea where the loggerhead bycatch rate in longline gear is known to be high (0.88 turtles per 1,000 hooks). Circle hooks were tested by alternating 1 circle and 1 traditional jig hook along the mainline in both experiments. The 1 super(st) experiment was set to verify the importance of different shape of hooks in reducing sea turtle bycatch. We tested 16/0 circle hooks versus jig hooks with similar gape for a total of 20 fishing trips. Eleven loggerheads were hooked on jig hooks, while 5 loggerheads were hooked on circle hooks. The 2 super(nd) experiment was set to investigate the importance of both hook shape and size. We tested 16/0 circle hooks versus 4/0 jig hooks traditionally used by small fishing vessels. This artisanal gear usually employ jig hooks with a small gape (e.g. 4/0 or 5/0). A total of 15 fishing trips were run. Results show that 69 loggerheads were hooked on smaller jig hooks, while only 2 loggerheads were hooked on larger circle hooks. Our preliminary findings show that: (1) when hook gape is similar, circular shape is effective in reducing loggerhead bycatch; (2) jig hooks with a small gape have a higher bycatch rate than circle hooks with a large gape.

The beach survey conducted on the island only allows for the capture of adult female sea turtles during the breeding state even though females may spend multiple years in the unobservable non-breeding state. The majority of females captured over the last 16 years have never been recaptured at the original capture site. These transients in the data coupled with the unobservable states violate assumptions in most current unistate mark-recapture models. A multistate mark-recapture model developed for leatherback sea turtles will be applied to the data from Bald Head Island. Multistate modeling provides a new technique to estimate sea turtle demographic data in which all model assumptions can be met. The multistate model outputs female survival rates, capture probability, and transition probabilities between breeding and non-breeding states. A correction factor for trap-dependence and transients will be included given that both tested significant in the global model goodness-of-fit tests. A time effect on survival and transition probabilities will also be assessed in the full suite of models run. Model selection will be based on QAIC values and biological meaning of the model parameters. The results from this study and advantages of multistate modeling to sea turtle demographic data and population models will be discussed.

Differences in egg traits among taxa reflect not only phylogenetic differences, but also interactions between biotic (i.e., maternal resource allocation) and abiotic (i.e. nest environment conditions) factors. We examined relationships between egg mass, egg composition, and hatchling size in leatherback turtles because of the unique egg and reproductive characteristics of this species and of sea turtles in general. Albumen comprised nearly two-thirds of egg mass and explained most of the variation in egg mass, whereas yolk comprised only one-third. Additionally, leatherback albumen dry mass was 616% of albumen wet mass. Whereas hatchling mass increased significantly with egg mass (n = 218 clutches), hatchling mass increased by only approximately 2 g for each 10 g increase in egg mass and was approximately 10-20 g greater than yolk mass. Taken together, our results indicate that albumen might play a particularly significant role in leatherback embryonic development, and that leatherback eggs are both capable of water uptake from the nest substrate and also possess a large reservoir of water in the albumen. Relationships between egg mass and egg components, such as variation in egg mass being largely explained by variation in albumen mass and egg mass containing a relatively high proportion of albumen solids, are more similar to bird eggs than to eggs of other non-avian reptiles. However, hatchling mass correlates more with yolk mass than with albumen mass, unlike patterns observed in bird eggs of similar composition.

The recent promotion of ecotourism and the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site nomination planned for 2008 in the area are expected to contribute to increased visitor numbers, which is raising concerns over the potential increase in negative impacts of human activities on sea turtle nesting. Currently, there are no regulations in place on the islands to limit access to important nesting areas or to manage visitor behavior in these areas. In addition, sufficient guidelines for sea turtle viewing have yet to be established on the islands. Given the potential for increases in human-turtle interactions in Ogasawara, management actions to minimize human impacts on sea turtles will likely be needed in the future. Examples of management actions around the world to minimize human impacts on sea turtle nesting include establishment of marine protected areas and regulations prohibiting access to nesting beaches. However, these actions have been implemented in countries such as the United States and Greece, where culture and approaches to wildlife conservation differ from that of Japan. Thus, management actions shown to be effective in these countries may not necessarily be suitable for Ogasawara. It is critical that any management action is not only biologically effective, but also appropriate for the local cultural context. In addition, the success of future management actions may depend on the level of support by the local population as well as visitors. Information about visitor and local resident perceptions of sea turtles and their management in Ogasawara is needed to inform future conservation efforts. The purpose of our research is to provide an understanding of the social dimensions of sea turtle conservation in Ogasawara to aid in minimizing potential negative impacts of human activities on sea turtle nesting. An exploratory phase of this research, involving interviews with a small sample of local residents and researchers, was conducted during the summer of 2006 to enhance understanding of sea turtle conservation issues in Ogasawara. This research confirmed the need for a more in-depth investigation and, in particular, highlighted the need for information to assist with sea turtle education efforts. Our presentation will draw from these findings to provide an overview of the context for sea turtle conservation in Ogasawara. In addition, we will offer a conceptual approach to understanding public support for sea turtle conservation. This approach, rooted in social science theories that have been adapted for use in exploring wildlife and other natural resource issues, will be applied in the summer of 2007 in Ogasawara to examine (1) visitors' and local residents' support for sea turtle management actions, and (2) beliefs that form the basis for visitors' and local residents' attitudes and behaviors regarding sea turtles. This information will be critical to ensuring the success of future sea turtle conservation efforts in Ogasawara and will aid in informing conservation education programs. We would like to thank the Sea Turtle Symposium and their generous donors for financial assistance to participate in the symposium.

Because of the decline in many leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) populations, any possible threat to their reproductive success merits research. The ecological characteristics of dipteran larvae collected from leatherback nests on Gandoca Beach, Costa Rica (935' N, 8234' W) were examined during the 2005 and 2006 nesting seasons. The relationship between nest productivity measures and larval infestation rates was investigated at both the rookery and individual nest levels. Our objectives were to assess if flies pose a threat to the overall reproductive success of leatherbacks, identify the fly species infesting nests, estimate infestation timing, determine nest entry mechanisms and ascertain which nest factors affect infestation rates. Post-emergence nest excavations revealed that dipteran infestation exceeded 75% of nests in both nesting seasons, but levels were much lower when evaluated as the proportion of the clutch infested. This suggests that fly larvae preferentially scavenge necrotic tissue within the nests, but the fact that several live hatchlings were attacked by larvae indicates that flies also act opportunistically as predators. Larvae were collected from infested nests, reared to adulthood and identified. Several species infested clutches with Eumacronychia sternalis from the Sarcophagidae being dominant. Gross estimates, utilizing the known development timeframe for E. sternalis showed that infestation was taking place shortly after hatchling emergence. Odors emanating from decomposing eggs are probably carried to the surface by emerging hatchlings and attract flies to the nest. Subsequently, gravid female flies deposit larvae on the sand surface and the larvae burrow through the sand column to reach the nest chamber. Experimental burrowing trials with larvae collected from leatherback nests showed that fly larvae were able to burrow to average leatherback nest depths. Negative binomial regression models were used to assess which nest factors influenced fly infestation rates. The variables that best predicted the incidence of larvae within nests were: sampling year, bacteria or fungus invasion, and the interaction between nest depth and the number of dead hatchlings. Infestation levels in egg hatcheries were not higher, possibly because of protective net baskets covering the clutches. Our results suggest that flies do not seriously threaten leatherback turtles. However, they cause incidental hatchling mortality and we suggest that measures be taken to protect nests against dipteran larvae infestation.

AN - 20421705; 9094270 AB - We assessed the genetic structure of green turtle populations, Chelonia mydas, in the Southwestern Indian Ocean (SWIO) by sequencing the control region of mtDNA and using 6 microsatellite loci. About 800 samples (females, males, juveniles and hatchlings) have been analysed, from 15 sites of SWIO. Both nesting and foraging zones have been selected. The preliminary results revealed a new haplotype and allowed us to identify 2 Management Units (MUs) of important interest for the conservation of green turtles. Thus, Reunion green turtles constitute a very specific population. Furthermore we examined the influence of Atlantic green turtle populations on genetic structure and composition of SWIO populations. Confrontation between results from mtDNA and microsatellites allowed us to have a more complete vision of the global population structure in our zone. Our results provide useful elements for management and conservation of green turtle in SWIO, and so they would participate in the global conservation of this species. Finally, this study shows that genetics constitutes a useful tool for population structure study, especially in association with other techniques like satellite telemetry and tagging campaigns.

A mark-recapture study was conducted using nets fished near the mouth of the Potomac River from 1980 to 2002. Five to seven nets were fished each year, incidentally capturing 14 to 92 live sea turtles annually. A total of 436 individual turtles were caught in these nets between 1980 and 2002. Of these, 403 turtles were originally captured and tagged from these nets, including 354 loggerheads (Caretta caretta; 87.8%), 48 Kemp's ridleys (Lepidochelys kempii; 11.9%), and one (0.3%) juvenile green turtle (Chelonia mydas). Of the loggerheads, 333 (94.1%) were sub-adults, 13 were adults (3.6%) and eight (2.2%) were of undetermined stage. Three Kemp's ridleys (6.25%) were adult-sized. An additional 33 turtles originally captured and tagged by other fishermen in the Chesapeake Bay were subsequently recaptured in the Potomac River nets. Among the total individual loggerheads captured and tagged for the first time in the study nets (n=333), 74 were recaptured by the same fisherman representing a 20.9% return to the original site of capture. A total of 116 recaptures of these turtles were reported including one to thirteen recaptures of the same turtles within a season and/or among seasons. These data suggest that some loggerhead sea turtles exhibit strong site fidelity to pound nets, with several individual turtles returning to the same net year after year for periods of one to eleven years. Of 48 individual Kemp's ridleys tagged, only two were recaptured in the study nets. Satellite telemetry was also used to track the movements of an adult female loggerhead captured multiple times in the Potomac River nets from 1999 to 2002. Monte Carlo random walk simulations indicate significant site fidelity to the mouth of the Potomac River.

A four kilometer stretch of beach at Kosgoda provides nesting habitat for all five species of marine turtles. A section of beach about 1050 m long on the project site was marked by wooden posts at 50 meter intervals starting from 0 to 21. Nesting activities were recorded from the time a turtle emerged from the sea until the turtle returned to the sea, and nests were protected until the eggs hatched. A total of 367 individual nesting turtles visited Kosgoda Beach during the study period from August 2003 to July 2006: 83% were green turtles and 17% were olive ridley turtles. In addition, one leatherback turtle nested during the study period. A total of 1089 nests were deposited by the three species, of which 90% were from green turtles and 10% from olive ridleys. No loggerheads or hawksbills nested on Kosgoda Beach during study period. Green turtles were the most common species nesting on Kosgoda beach. Individual green turtles deposited an average of two nests per season, and olive ridleys averaged one nest per season. The average number of eggs per nest was 111 eggs for green turtle nests and 114 eggs for olive ridley nests. These values were very similar to the figures obtained for Rekawa Beach. Observation on nesting frequency throughout the year shows that the peak season occurs during March, April and May. However, only one kilometer of beach was monitored on Kosgoda Beach during this study. Thus, there is a possibility that some nests were missed on Kosgoda Beach and that turtles could have deposited outside the monitoring area within the same nesting season. Both Kosgoda and Rekawa sites show similar nesting frequencies of the two most commonly visiting species.

There remains some disagreement, for example, as to how many species, or subspecies, constitute a "green sea turtle". In the past, the placement of taxa such as the flatback (Natator depressa) and the hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) has been questioned. In addition, the exact phylogenetic position of sea turtles within Cryptodira has not been irrefutably recovered, and the monophyletic relationship of sea turtles bears further investigation. Previous research addressing some of these questions focused primarily on mtDNA and morphological analyses. In this study, we analyze approximately 6200 bp of DNA from five nuclear genes in the seven widely recognized sea turtle species, as well as in Eastern Pacific "black" turtles, to determine whether they represent distinct evolutionary lineages. Further, we rigorously test the monophyly of all sea turtles, and resolve their phylogenetic position by analyzing 12 taxa of cryptodire turtles, which represent all major lineages of this suborder. We use current methods to estimate divergence dates of nodes in the resulting cladogram using minimum ages of available fossil taxa as calibration points. In this approach, we estimate the timing of dispersal and vicariance events, and identify their links to other geologic and climatic episodes. We analyze our dataset using various phylogenetic methods and a total evidence approach, and compare our results to those of previous studies. Additional and previously uncharacterized mitochondrial markers will also be considered in future efforts. Clarifying taxonomic issues is the first step in systematically characterizing organisms, and determining the precise position of sea turtles with respect to other Cryptodires helps elucidate their biogeographic origins. As well, incorrect taxonomy has had severe repercussions for conservation in other reptiles, underscoring the importance of investigating these issues to inform conservation prioritization in sea turtles. Our findings to date are presented in this poster.

For the past twenty-two years, leatherback nesting areas have been monitored at Culebra Island suggesting their importance and local contribution to the Caribbean population. The objective of this study is to report nesting activity recorded during the last three nesting seasons and compare data to that of previous years. Since 2004, an Index Nesting Beach Survey has been implemented on the main nesting beaches of the island. A total of 110 nests were recorded during the index peiod in 2004 with a season total of 173. Results from the 2005 season were similar, with 116 nests recorded in the index nesting period and a total of 257 nests for the season. A total of 100 nests were counted during the index survey in 2006, and 133 nests were recorded for the complete season. Peak nesting density occurred early in the index survey period each year. The total number of nests reported from 1984 to 2006 indicates a decrease in number of nests. However, since 2004 (date the decrease was reported), a simultaneous increase in nearby areas such as Fajardo (mainland Puerto Rico) and St. Croix (US Virgin Islands) was detected. Past reports suggest inter-nesting of leatherbacks on those beaches and others in the nearby areas. Therefore, we suggest this may be one of the factors for such low numbers of nests in recent years at Culebra Island. Finally, tourist and urban development continues to be a major threat to the leatherback nesting population of Culebra Island and mainland Puerto Rico, which constitutes an important rookery for the Caribbean Region.

It is the role of Environmental Education to ensure the transformation that will make life better now and in the future. It means, also, to look at nature with passionate eyes and to respect all forms of life, considering the interface and interdependence among all its elements. Therefore, the sea turtle project, carried out by the NGO NEMA in the Coast of Rio Grande do Sul/ Brazil, seeks to reduce the incidental capture and mortality of sea turtles, caused by indiscriminate fishing and dumping, by engaging the fishing communities of the municipalities of Rio Grande, Sao Jose do Norte e Torres located in the Rio Grande do Sul state in its conservative and educational practices. It is we believe that the maintenance of biodiversity depends more on communitarian engagement than on the current means of protection. In this effort, Environmental Education is being taught in local schools, during popular events, upon the boarding of the onboard watchers, in the interviews with fishermen and in the craft courses offered to their wives. The EE methodology applied relies on the arts, on the environmental sciences and on the psychophysical education to bring about and to value the reasoning, the intuition, the feeling, the imaginary and the symbolic elements that constitute every human being. This work also contributes by showing different ways of understanding and expressing life in the world, producing a critical understanding of reality and aiming at the building of environmental awareness and the participation of all in solving and preventing social and environmental conflicts. These actions are making possible the rescue of values and culture together with the motivation to critical thought, as well as the development of a systemic view of society and environment in these communities. The educational activities gave possibility to the insertion of diverse social, economical, political and cultural themes that are associated to ecology. Through its actions and the community engagement the project established partnership with many fishermen that, from then on, collected data about incidental capture; formed the Craftswomen group of Barra, located in a fishing community and composed by local women and family members, representing an alternative income to these families; emerged children's interest in the conservation of sea turtles and marine biodiversity. This project took a big step ahead in the conservation of sea turtles and in raising ecological awareness of the local fisherman and their families. Furthermore, it also indirectly contributed to the empowerment of these communities, their culture and their beauty.

Studies to date using mtDNA have confirmed that juvenile and adult loggerheads encountered across the North Pacific belong to the Japanese genetic stock. Currently, three distinct haplotypes have been identified in the North Pacific based upon 350 base pairs (bp) of mtDNA sequence. Haplotype A, common in the southern hemisphere stock is relatively rare in the Japanese nesting stock, while haplotype C represents 10% of the Japanese animals sampled, and haplotype B is the most common and makes up 89% of the Japanese nesting stock (Hatase et al. 2002). MtDNA analysis was performed on 250 genetic samples which are routinely collected from loggerheads in the eastern Pacific foraging areas (including the eastern tropical Pacific and Baja California, Mexico), stranded animals in the eastern Pacific (mainly Mexico), and fisheries by-caught animals in the eastern and central Pacific. Sequencing analysis was performed using new mtDNA primers designed to target 800 bp of the control region which includes the original 350 bp region (Abreu-Grobois et al. 2006). Based on analysis of the longer 800 bp fragment, we have identified at least 3 new haplotype variants among the individuals identified as B haplotypes with the shorter (350bp) sequence. We will also use the longer sequence to detect further variation among individuals identified as having haplotypes A and C. These findings suggest the potential for detecting finer scale population sub-structuring among nesting populations. Given that some nesting populations appear to be increasing while others remain depleted, ability to improve detection of relative contribution rates from nesting populations to loggerhead aggregations and among fisheries bycatch is relevant to conservation and management of this species in the Pacific.

The Centre for Environment Education (CEE), Ahemedabad, a National Institute mandated for environmental education, initiated a Turtle Conservation Education project in 2001 targeted at school students and teachers, tourists and enforcement organizations. Between 2001 to 2006 the following activities have been conducted: a. Seven three day teacher training workshop to orient teachers on the issues related to turtle conservation and conservation education methods; b. Twenty-five slide shows on sea turtle conservation, activities like quizzes, essay competitions, and clay modeling have been made availaiable to the students; c. Students in Galgibaga and Agonda, with the help of the local community and Forest Department, guarded nests and put up signs indicating 'save our sea turtles' during the years of 2003-04; d. Four one day turtle fairs involving about 500 students and 40 teachers from the nesting areas were conducted in which students displayed posters, signage and performed a skit on "The Importance of Sea Turtles'. A film 'Ridleys Last Stand' was screened for the students and general public. Rallies in the village were instigated to create awareness about sea turtles; e. A teachers manual Turtles in Trouble' and a set of 10 posters were prepared under the project and have been distributed to all the schools along the coastline of Goa. The education awareness programmes have reached more than 400 teachers and 5000 students in Goa and they have become aware and sensitive to the issues related to sea turtle conservation. Students along the Goa coast are now reporting turtle poaching, nestings, or the occurrence of dead turtles on the beach to their teachers. Two turtles, one with both the fore flippers injured, were found and were rescued by the locals and later released in to the deep sea with the help of Goa Forest Department and Indian Coast Guard. Four meetings with the villagers and two meetings with the owners of make-shift tourist shacks on the beach were held to discuss their role in sea turtle conservation. A one day multi-stakeholders consultation was organized to develop short term and long term strategies for turtle conservation in Goa. The Goa Forest Department has now set up a Sea Turtle Information Centre and displays posters, manuals and other materials developed by CEE. CEE also helps the department in conducting educational activities and other conservation issues. Information on the number of nests on the beach and probable dates of their hatching are displayed during the nesting season as information for tourists and visitors. Several interested tourists came to see the hatchlings on the day of hatching. Every year more than 2000 foreign tourists visit the sea turtle information centre.

Here, we show an example related to their mating systems, which can be polyandrous or monogamous. The multiple paternity (MP) phenomenon has been verified in the olive ridley Lepidochelys olivacea with values up to 92 % in Costa Rica (Jensen et al. 2006) and values of 20 % (Hoekert 2002) in Suriname. This may be due the population nesting behavior (single females vs arribadas) as suggested by Jensen et al. (2006). La Escobilla beach in Oaxaca Mexico is one of the most important nesting beaches for the olive ridley turtle were arribada behavior is present. Here we show a MP analysis of this nesting population. The analysis was carried out with two microsatellite loci of 103 samples of embryonic tissue gathered from four nests. We use PARENTAGE software (Emery, 2001) in order to infer the maternal and paternal genotypes for each hatchling. MP was found in 100% of the sampling nests, with a minimum of two and a maximum of four paternal genotypes involved in the fertilization of the progeny. There is not just one paternal genotype involved in the fertilization of progeny from more than one female. This high MP support the Jensen suggestion.

This program later expanded to other countries bordering the eastern Pacific Ocean, from Peru to Mexico. One of the main objectives of the program is to test the efficacy of circular hooks, by performing a comparative study of turtle hooking rates, turtle entanglement rates and fish catch rates between different sizes of circular hooks and "J" hooks. The program places observers aboard fishing vessels to collect data on the amount of bycatch and catch, turtle entanglements, and gear characteristics, including mainline and buoy materials and configuration. Here we report our findings about sea turtle entanglements based on data collected during the first years of the program. During this period data were collected on over 660 fishing trips, and close to 1.5 million hooks. The data represent surface longline fisheries targeting tunas, mahi-mahis, billfishes and sharks. Understanding the characteristics of turtle entanglement is an important aspect of reducing the impact of longine fisheries on sea turtle populations because entanglements can lead to mortality. We present the results of an analysis of data on over 400 entanglements involving five species of turtles. Preliminary results showed very large differences in entanglements rates (in turtles per mile of line, or per number of hooks) between Peru and Ecuador (high rates), and Central America (lower rates). We present details on entanglement rates, and size composition of entanglements by turtle species. We compare entanglement rates with hooking rates for the five species, and we summarize the different locations of entanglement of turtles in the longline gear. We also discuss characteristics of the longline gear that appear to attract sea turtles or that facilitate entanglement (e.g., materials used, length of mainline, characteristics of floats, etc.). We close with a discussion of proposed and existing experiments on gear modifications intended to mitigate entanglement.

Within this area, a large proportion of Indian River County's coastline has been classified as critically eroded (70%). In an effort to save their properties, beachfront owners have placed seawalls on approximately 7.6% of the County's 36 kilometers of coastline. There is growing evidence that seawalls inhibit nesting and result in more abandoned nesting attempts. In this study, we looked at whether loggerhead nests deposited in front of seawalls had lower reproductive success than those on the natural sections of beach. We marked a random sample of nests on the natural beach and all nests in front of seawalls in the southern half of the County. Marked nests were followed through incubation and excavated either 3 days after emergence or 70 days post-deposition. Mean hatching success for nests in front of seawalls (mean=0.854, SD=0.17, n=49) was not significantly different than nests on the natural beach (mean=0.881, SD=0.15, n=52; t-test, p=0.40). The mean emergence success was also not significantly different between seawall and non-seawall nests (t-test, p=0.91). One explanation for these results was the low tropical storm season this summer. Seawall nests averaged 3.9 meters from the base of the wall, but most (55%) were within 3 meters. Higher storm tides would have washed over these nests and repeated wash-overs probably would have reduced their hatching success. But, for the most part, this did not occur. Also, many of the most recent seawalls were a reaction to the hurricanes of 2004. Since that time the beach has recovered in many areas and during this summer we experienced significant sand accretion. We believe long-term monitoring of nesting in front of seawalls is necessary, especially since many of these areas have a net loss of sand over time and the beach will likely become narrower than it is today.

Between 1992 and 2005, 7007 longline sets were observed, and of these sets, 771 (11%) caught turtles, mostly loggerheads and leatherbacks. Spatial and effort analyses found that effort and catch were seasonally variable. Loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) bycatch in the Northeast Distant area was higher than the expected effort and did not follow the overall regional fishery pattern. Leatherback bycatch in the Gulf of Mexico had little seasonal variation, and this constant effort may have a larger impact than previously recognized, especially for juveniles. Nearly all NMFS regions had bycatch of both loggerhead and leatherback turtles from pelagic juvenile to adult ontogenetic stages in waters ranging from 12 to 31 C.

These turtles also occur in coastal waters of the Canary Islands and North America. The linkages among loggerhead sea turtles occurring in these areas are a focus of our ongoing genetic research. Elucidating relationships among populations throughout a species' range is important for conservation purposes, and for understanding their biology. In studies using previously available mtDNA control region primers, the CC-A1 haplotype was commonly found at our study sites. In the present research, we examine the utility and applications of newly designed primers that amplify a longer segment of the mtDNA control region (Abreu et al. 2006), particularly in distinguishing among these CC-A1 haplotypes. To this end, we analyze control region sequences (804 bp) from adult females nesting at Cape Verde (n=50) and Georgia USA (n=20), and from individuals sampled in the waters of the Canary Islands (n=30) and North Florida USA (n=24). The number of haplotypes, haplotype diversity (h), nucleotide diversity (Pi), haplotype frequencies and fixation indices (Fst) were obtained and compared with results using shorter sequences. We discuss new insights into population connectivity from the analysis of the longer mtDNA sequences.

Over the last 14 years, we have responded to over 800 sea turtle strandings along the central southwest coast of Florida, with an average of 39 sea turtle strandings per year through 2004. The years of 2005 and 2006 presented more than a three-fold rise in sea turtle strandings in Sarasota County, as two distinct Red Tide blooms affected our waters, one in 2005 and one in 2006. Karenia brevis, a dinoflagellate, is a naturally occurring organism in the Gulf waters off the southwest coast of Florida and is responsible for local "Red Tide" blooms. While background levels of this organism generally remain under 10,000 cells/liter, concentrations above 100,000 cells/liter result in fish kills and are considered a substantial bloom. Karenia brevis produces the neurotoxin, brevetoxin, and this toxin has been shown to cause morbidity and mortality in marine animals and sea turtles. In both 2005 and 2006, Karenia brevis levels in Sarasota County coastal waters reached in excess of 5,000,000 cells/liter of water, causing fish kills and murky coastal waters. Coinciding with these blooms was a substantial increase in sea turtle strandings along the central southwest Florida region. In 2005, the Stranding Investigations Program far surpassed the average of 39 sea turtle strandings per year, responding to a total of 174 stranded sea turtles, and as of December 5, 2006, we have responded to a total of 146 sea turtle strandings for the year of 2006. In this poster, we will compare and contrast the sea turtle strandings responded to in the years of 2005 and 2006, two consecutive Red Tide years, with respect to species, size, and location of the stranded sea turtles.

Since 1995, before the embargo, Costa Rica has been visited by National Marine Fisheries Service officers to perform technology transfer workshops and confirm efficient implementation of TED regulations. Furthermore, the local shrimp trawl industry, together with local conservation groups, developed modified TEDs specially designed for Costa Rican fishing conditions, called the Tico TED. Sinkey Boone, the inventor of the TED, visited Costa Rica in 2004 to work with the local fishermen and improve acceptance. Unfortunately, since 1999, Costa Rica has suffered three embargoes. On May 1 of 2006, the last embargo was lifted after one year, and Costa Rica was allowed again to export shrimp to the Untied States. However, shrimp trawlers are still commonly reported fishing within the waters of Marine Protected Areas designated as such to protect nesting turtles, such as the Ostional Wildlife Refuge and the Caletas-Ario Wildlife Refuge. During September of 2006, over 200 turtles stranded in Ostional. An evaluation by PRETOMA discovered that in spite of efforts by the Coast Guard to apprehend infractors, Fishery authorities were reluctant to impose any measures, such as canceling the fishing license, impunity reigning in the administrative process. Without government subsidisations the industry would perish, as shrimp is overfished, with catch rates dropping 7.7% yearly since 1985, reaching record lows in 2005-2006. We propose a serious reduction of up to 70% of the Costa Rican fleet, a prohibition for the remaining vessels to trawl in the Golfo de Nicoya and the Golfo Dulce, as well as one mile from the coasts. PRETOMA will build a Supreme Court Case to persuade government officers to take measures and regulate the shrimp trawl fleets, and Costa Rican consumers will be educated to consume artisinally caught shrimp.

The lagoon was historically a freshwater lake, but it has been severely altered by human activities since the late 1800's. Today, the LWL is a moderately polluted estuary and is the site of extensive environmental enhancement. Five species of sea turtle have been reported in the LWL, largely from stranding reports and anecdotal observations. This study seeks to characterize the size, diversity, and health of the LWL Chelonia mydas (green; CM) and Caretta caretta (loggerhead; CC) populations using a combination of netting activities and visual transects. Seven three-day, quarterly sampling events have been conducted since March 2005. These events have yielded 34 captures (33 CM and 1 CC) during 45 net sets, for an overall Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE) of 2.51, and over 150 sea turtles sightings on 179 km of visual transects. Straight carapace length (SCL) averaged 42.6, and ranged 29.8 - 54.9 cm. Moderate or severe cases of fibropapillomatosis (FP) have been documented in 63% of the captured CM. Sightings, captures, FP rates, and FP severity were higher during the winter sampling months, while SCL was highest during the summer. The seasonality of captures and sightings, CPUE, FP rate, and SCL range are all similar to sampling sites in the Indian River Lagoon (IRL), a well-documented sea turtle developmental habitat located 50 km north of the LWL. Though more data is needed, based on these preliminary comparisons, the LWL likely also functions as an important developmental habitat for juvenile green sea turtles.

For example, the Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network reports 16,879 strandings on the shorelines of all states between Texas and Maine between 1998-2002 (STSSN). In addition, various research studies are underway in an attempt to understand the leading causes of mortality in sea turtles, including fisheries observing, PIT tagging (Spotila et al. 2000), satellite telemetry (Hays et al. 2003), and carcass assessment (Panagopoulos et al. 2003; Koch et al. 2006; Balazs 2006). Studies suggest the deployment of gillnets, longlines, trawls, and hook and line gear as the main cause of sea turtle mortality. As strandings accumulate on beaches, coastal ecosystems are the recipient of this resource allocation. The terrestrial implications of sea turtle strandings have yet to be studied; therefore, this preliminary review is a compilation of data regarding scavenger and stranded turtle interactions, obtained through literature review and personal communication with field researchers. Among other species, black vultures (Coragyps atratus), turkey vultures (Cathartes aura), ghost crabs (Ocypode quadrata), dogs (Canis lupus familiaris), fire ants (Solenopsis invictiva), crocodiles (Crocodylus sp.), coyotes (Canis latrans) (Nichols, pers. obs.) and black bears (Ursus americanus) have all been observed feeding on stranded turtles (eg: J.P. Martinez, pers. comm.; P. Plotkin, pers. comm.; S. Murphy, pers. comm.; M. Lamont, pers. comm.). At some locations, the majority of strandings are due to anthropogenic causes, and an unnatural accumulation of carcasses on coastlines may have an ecological effect. For example, an increasing number of scavengers in coastal areas may affect ecosystem equilibriums by altering species interactions or through the reallocation of resources. Future studies in this theme should be considered in order to understand the ecological relationship between scavengers and stranded turtles, and to distinguish any resulting ecosystem impacts.

Estimating relative abundance of sea turtles captured during longline operations, as well as yearly trends, is critical to understanding the magnitude of the problem as well as the natural fluctuation of the numbers of turtles in the EEZ of Costa Rica. It is important to understand these fluctuations when performing research on gear modification to mitigate the impact of longlining on sea turtles, and comparing results between seasons.

Our understanding of this complexity has increased with the incorporation of recent stable isotope data and new genetic information. Our objective is to evaluate the North Atlantic loggerhead population within the context of current metapopulation theory and to explore a novel method to quantify the strength of connectivities among rookeries and foraging grounds. We approach these questions with analyses of new mtDNA haplotype frequency data for rookeries and foraging grounds (both oceanic and neritic). The frequencies of the two most common mtDNA haplotypes, which when combined account for approximately 92% of individuals sampled, represent a classical cline north to south along the SE USA. We discuss the problem of assigning rookery sources when the rookeries exhibit a clinal change. In addition, we test whether the oceanic developmental stage is genetically unstructured and whether there is juvenile homing for the neritic foraging populations. A Bayesian model is applied that allows us to analyze multiple oceanic and neritic foraging grounds simultaneously with respect to source rookery contributions. The results of our study have both theoretical and conservation implications. We discuss the conservation implications of our metapopulation analyses and the clinal composition of rookeries.

While a few high profile beaches reap the rewards of income, jobs, and strong local support that ecotourism can bring, many ideal spots are overlooked while people look elsewhere for entertainment. Most turtle conservation projects lack training in marketing, resources to advertise, and the ability to reach the prized ecotourism market. The goal of this project is twofold: to augment field conservation projects by increasing income for both local communities and for the local project itself; and to elevate sea turtles into the realm of top wildlife attractions while educating visitors on their threats and how to help. The initial sites will be chosen by several criteria including the benefit to turtle conservation; benefits accruing to the local community; the need for alternatives; basic tourism infrastructure; and the relative importance of the site for turtles. Initial sites under consideration include Baja Mexico, Costa Rica, the US Virgin Islands, Hawaii, and Florida. The Ocean Conservancy and its partners will reach this market by building interest through outreach to key travel and media outlets; providing information through our magazine, e-newsletter, and a central web site; and connecting people to responsible options through various outlets including tourism operators and partnerships with conservation groups. We have developed a set of criteria that we are using to assess the first sites that SEE Turtles will feature and will offer. The program will expand to offer diverse options in terms of sea turtle species, accommodations and infrastructure, geographic location (starting in the Western Hemisphere), and turtle activities (swimming, nesting, participation in research efforts if possible).

This is largely because attention has been focused largely on its direct physical impacts. Similarly, reports on marine turtles have looked at impacts on nesting beaches. These reports definitely provide a useful compilation of the short term impacts of the tsunami itself. Studies of sociological impacts have also documented fairly thoroughly loss of lives and livelihoods, damage to houses and boats, etc. Subsequent to studies of physical impacts, many commentators have spoken of the tsunami of assistance, the tsunami of nongovernment organizations, the tsunami of developmental aid and organizations. Which of these will have the most impact on the coast and its environment? For example, large scale planting of Casuarina as a bioshield has been initiated along the coast without a careful analysis of whether such plantations are indeed beneficial in the long term. Coastal features such as sand dunes which may be critical to coastal integrity have been given scant attention, and used for reconstruction or plantations. Similarly, many boats have been replaced after the tsunami and the proportion of mechanized and motorized boats may actually increase. Given that the fisheries and marine habitats were already detrimentally affected by bottom trawling, these actions may further aggravate both ecological and livelihood issues on the coast. In both cases, marine turtles or their habitats are directly impacted; loss of sand dunes and beaches affects the nesting grounds of olive ridley turtles, and an increase in mechanization will result in an increase in incidental mortality in trawl and gill net fisheries. Environmental and socio-ecological issues on the coast clearly preceded the tsunami. It is against this background trend that one must assess the impacts of the tsunami and responses to it. To address issues of environment sustainability, the UNDP launched the 'Post-Tsunami Environment Initiative', a project jointly executed by the Nature Conservation Foundation (NCF), Mysore, the Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (ATREE), Bangalore and the Citizen, consumer and civic Action Group (CAG), Chennai. This project aims to understand coastal vulnerability and resilience in the face of such natural disasters within the Indian context, establish participatory monitoring systems, critically analyse developmental policy, and develop management models for key ecological sites along the coast. Marine turtles have served as a flagship for coastal and marine conservation; here also, they can be used to bring attention to important habitats, as well as to modify or mitigate certain post-tsunami development plans. Future research and detailed review based on primary and secondary biological, legal and sociological information is required to guide policy changes, accompanied with monitoring along the coast. Long term impacts of interventions, especially for species such as marine turtles, needs to be carefully evaluated before implementation. Coastal conservation and management, both within and outside the context of the tsunami, needs to take into account a full range of issues if it is to be successful in the long term.

Expanding upon the "SWOT Team," the network of data providers who collectively documented these nesting sites, SWOT Report (Volume II) has as its centerpiece the loggerhead nesting beaches of the world, with nesting data from every available beach in 2005, as well as a second year of leatherback nesting data, also from 2005. Building upon lessons learned in developing Volume I, the SWOT Scientific Advisory Board refined the data-gathering procedures to allow for greater analysis of the nesting data presented in Volume II. Furthermore, as part of SWOT efforts to create a tool for global outreach and education, five small grants were provided to members of the SWOT Team network to conduct outreach and educational activities using SWOT Report (Vol. I). These projects were located in Bangladesh, Guyana, Malaysia, and Sierra Leone and covered a wide range of communications themes including outreach to politicians and local communities. Of these five, the outreach project implemented by Conservation Society of Sierra Leone (CSSL)--a workshop specifically designed around SWOT Report (Vol. I)--stood out as an exemplary use of the publication as a means to examine the worldwide status of sea turtles and Sierra Leone's place within that global view. That project will be highlighted in this presentation as a successful outreach project and one of many possibilities for employing SWOT Report as an educational tool. This paper explores the merger of science with education and outreach under the SWOT initiative, presenting the findings of SWOT Report (Vol. ll)'s collaboration on global loggerhead and leatherback nesting data, in addition to the results of the outreach and education campaigns that were based on SWOT Report (Vol. I).

Therefore, the majority of conservation plans for sea turtles include a strategy for public education and outreach. From a sea turtle management and conservation standpoint, there are two main goals of public education: the first is to make people aware that they have an impact on the survival of sea turtles, and the second is to provide people with accurate knowledge about sea turtles. Once these two objectives have been met, people can then make informed decisions concerning their behavior towards sea turtles, evaluate and choose among management options, and participate meaningfully in local and national policy discussions. The South Carolina Aquarium's "Sea Turtle Rescue Program" sponsors outreach activities in support of public education. With an aim to expand these activities to embrace formal curricula designed for elementary school children, I [EC] developed a sea turtle activity guide designed to implement the state of South Carolina education standards for children ages 9 to 12. The guide provides students with knowledge of sea turtles, as well as the causal factors in population declines, and seeks to cultivate an informed citizen by communicating information to young people concerning the impact various human behaviors have on sea turtle survival. By gaining this knowledge early in life, the hope is that students will make more environmentally informed decisions about their own behavior(s) as they mature. The activity guide consists of six sections: Introduction to Sea Turtles; Adaptations; Life Cycle; Nesting; Sea Turtle Rescue and Care; and Conservation and Policy. Each section includes five activities, resulting in a total of 30 activities created using a standard lesson plan format. Each activity features a title, focus question, activity synopsis, time frame, key terms, objectives, standards, background, materials, procedures, and assessment. Selected activities were classroom-tested at the aquarium during the summer of 2006. Hard copies of the activity guide will be distributed to the aquarium, to South Carolina educators, and, in partnership with the Wider Caribbean Sea Turtle Conservation Network (WIDECAST), to Caribbean educators. In addition, an on-line version will be available on both the South Carolina Aquarium's website and at WIDECAST's website.

Solitary nesting populations? Both? AN - 20421242; 9094214 AB - Olive ridley sea turtles are best known for their distinctive reproductive behavior of synchronized mass nesting known as the arribada. Hundreds to tens of thousands of ridleys may emerge synchronously from the ocean in just a few days to nest in close proximity. Arribadas occur at only a few beaches worldwide in the eastern Pacific, western Atlantic and northern Indian Oceans. However the nesting range for the olive ridley extends far beyond these select beaches. For example, in the eastern Pacific, arribadas occur annually at several beaches in Mexico, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama from June through December. During the same time, solitary olive ridleys emerge individually to nest along nearly the entire coastline from Mexico to Colombia. Very little is known about this behavioral polymorphism. The study of the arribada phenomenon has dominated most aspects of research on this species and comparatively little attention has been given to the solitary nesting strategy. This is reflected in the literature wherein solitary nesting is not even mentioned in most review papers despite the fact that its extent was well known and described many years ago. Recognizing these different phenotypes, and acquiring data on the abundance, status of, biology and ecology of each is critical to managing and recovering the species. Nearly all of the research, population censuses and conservation efforts have been directed toward arribada nesting populations. But focusing attention on just a few nesting populations is a risky strategy and sea turtle conservation programs need to study and protect both large and small nesting populations within a region. This talk will provide a summary of our knowledge of these two nesting strategies, discuss the significant life history and genetic differences between them, its potential impact on population growth of the species and it will underscore the need to conserve solitary nesting ridleys as well as arribada nesting ridleys.

Educational outreach in coastal grade schools since 1998 has helped mitigate some of these factors, but it became clear to us that the best avenue for reaching a relatively fresh audience that had first-hand opportunities to conserve leatherbacks at sea was to address high-school students. Not only do they represent the upcoming generation of resource users, but many already work as helpers in their families' fishing enterprises. High-school students are a challenging audience in their own right, and attempts to engage them in school-related activities that they consider "cool" enough for their attention, and that meet curriculum needs while promoting the conservation of sea turtles require careful planning. The Canadian Sea Turtle Network developed a high-school outreach program designed to teach students basic sea turtle biology, engage them in philosophical discussion about the intrinsic importance of endangered species, demonstrate the difference local action makes in conserving sea turtles, and encourage them to think critically about the role they and their communities play in protecting sea turtles in Canada. In its pilot year, the program targeted four coastal community schools in Nova Scotia, Canada, reaching more than 150 students. Program feedback was collected from both teachers and students, with students surveyed both at the beginning and end of the program period. Post-program evaluations indicated a marked increase in all areas, including students' understanding of sea turtle biology and factors contributing to species decline, students' interest in sea turtle conservation, and students' knowledge of ways in which resource users can directly contribute to conserving marine turtles at sea. Our findings suggest that programs such as this one may be key to reaching the next generation of resource users in a context that allows a thorough exploration not only of the scientific facts about sea turtles and the threats they face, but also of the responsibility of the fishing industry to act as stewards of the marine environment.

It is considered critically endangered by the IUCN and in Brazil, due to fisheries, killing and egg collecting, there are few hatchling sites left. The loggerhead turtle, Caretta caretta, is distributed in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans and tropical waters of Mediterranean. It is considered endangered by the IUCN and by the Brazilian environmental agency Ibama. Hybridization between these two species has been known for many decades from morphology studies. Recently we used mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis to detect hybrids on Brazilian nesting beaches and feeding grounds. In this study, we aimed to investigate the hybridization process between E. imbricata and C. caretta though analyses of three autosomal markers. Here we present research data produced in cooperation between LBEM, Projeto Tamar-lbama, and PETROBRAS/CENPES as part of the project "Mamiferos e Quelonios Marinhos". A total of 42 individuals from Bahia State in Brazil, with morphology more similar to E. imbricata and bearing a C. caretta mtDNA, and 120 individuals identified as E. imbricata by morphology and mtDNA were analyzed with these autosomal markers to detect likely C. caretta genomic ancestry in this population. In all individuals tested, three anonymous regions of nuclear DNA were amplified by PCR with primers previously described to Chelonia mydas, and the inter-specific variation was identified using one or two restriction enzymes. Among 42 previously detected hybrids, four (15.1%) showed both specific alleles of E. imbricata in at least one locus, but no hybrid presented both C. caretta alleles in any locus. Furthermore, another eleven hybrids, with incomplete genotyping, have also occurred in 4 individuals with at least one E. imbricata homozygous locus. Additionally, in the 42 hybrids 52.4% of the alleles belonging to E. imbricata and only 47.6% to C. caretta were observed. These data indicate some introgression between parental species and hybrids due to the existence of hybrids of generations >F1. It would also indicate a likely bias to preferential mating with E. imbricata. This unidirectional introgression can be an evidence of the incapacity or failure in meeting of F1 female hybrids to mate with males of the parental taxa C. caretta. This apparently unsuccessful introgression with C. caretta could be due either to the low mating success of this species with hybrids or low survival/fecundity of >F1 hybrids with C. caretta, since all hybrids analyzed were females in oviposition. It is interesting to note that F1 female hybrids with C. caretta mtDNA are result of the mating of a female C. caretta with a male E. imbricata and we do not observe any evidence of opposite gender pairing. Likely, this hybridization process can be biased by the gender of the parental species, and can be an important factor in introgression. The hybridization observed in sea turtles can be due to the inexistence of pre and post-zygotic barriers allowing interbreeding. The detection of this intensive hybridization process and the sex biased introgression can direct differential management strategies for conservation of this species in Brazil.

The Kemp's ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys kempii) is one exception to this generality. Because its population declined to very low levels from 1947 through the 1960s, Kemp's ridley was listed as an endangered species in 1970, and a 'head-start' experiment was initiated in 1978 as an ancillary part of the Kemp's Ridley Restoration and Enhancement Program, conducted jointly by Mexico and U.S. agencies. The purpose of the experiment was to captive rear and reintroduce Kemp's ridleys into the wild, in part as an effort to preserve the species in case all other conservation efforts failed. This experiment resulted in the release of 22,255 yearling Kemp's ridleys comprising the 1978-1992 year-classes. To date, close to 1,000 of these turtles have been 'recaptured', including strandings (dead or alive), captures, and directly observed nesters. Recoveries were from both the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico. For this analysis, we restricted the data set to include only recoveries from the Gulf of Mexico. Of those recoveries, 228 had their carapace lengths measured and could be assigned to a year class, making this a unique set of size-at-age data for sea turtles. To analyze the size-at-age data, we first fit a Loess smoother to observe the trend. This showed a generally linear trend up to about 50 cm straight carapace length (SCL) and 4 yr of age followed by an asymptotic curve similar to those observed in fish populations. We then fit a new growth model that has been developed to better describe indeterminate growth in fishes (Lester et al., 2004, Proceedings of the Royal Society of London B 271:1625-1631). Because of the difference in energy allocation pre- and post-maturation, it has been suggested that the von Bertalanffy growth curve cannot describe lifetime growth and the new model, the biphasic von Bertalanffy growth model, divides growth into these two compartments. The biphasic model described the data well; however, rather than the shift between phases occurring at maturity as in fish, the break occurs earlier, potentially marking the subadult stage when gonadal maturation begins which can be several years prior to first reproduction. For the head-started Kemp's ridley, the model indicates that the average shift between the growth compartments occurs at 4.3 yr of age and at 52.2 cm SCL, and we suggest that this marks the beginning of a subadult stage for this species. The information we have learned from this unique dataset will likely increase our general understanding of sea turtle growth rates.

Here, we use long term nest site data to assess patterns in individual clutch placement within and among seasons. We test for nest site fidelity as defined by distance to high tide line, distance to vegetation edge, and distance parallel to the shore. Additionally, we calculate within season repeatabilities for individual nest site choice to test the prediction that repeatabilities, which (over)estimate heritability, vary from year to year in the same population. We discuss how variation in beach characteristics between seasons, and between nesting beaches, may impact nest site patterns in hawksbill turtles, and if those features have value as predictors of nest site specificity in a given year.

Such threats occur at various life stages at different intensities. Being aware of the situation of sea turtles in Tumaco, we started in 2004 and during 6 months a project in which we worked with fishermen groups who reported sea turtle bycatch and liberations in the water during their trips. This project had the objective of learning about the state of sea turtles populations in this area and the pressure over this resource, mainly by interviews and surveys with traditional fishermen from this area. We have also been performing meetings and workshops aimed at traditional fishermen from Tumaco. These talks had the objective to inform about bycatch of sea turtles and to raise awareness about the state of the sea turtles populations. The results showed that a moderate human and bycatch pressure exists, which increases from November through May (the season of mahi mahi - Coryphaena hippurus), especially over adult individuals of Chelonia agassizii or black turtle, however, sex of these individuals caught were not identified. Although Eretmochelys imbricata or hawksbills are captured as well, it is only in fewer proportions and mostly individuals in the juvenile stage. Environmental education activities reached especially fishermen and children, as well as salesmen in the central market, in which we performed interviews. We identified that the turtles are used for familiar consumption and local commerce in the central market for the community. The most important problem in this area is the local consumption and ignorance of the actual situation of sea turtle populations around the world in addition to pollution as most of the time turtles mistake plastic bags for food. We accomplished the liberations of some turtles caught and found in the local market thanks to Contamination Control Centre of the Pacific (CCCP) and the Captain of the Port. Awareness campaigns were carried out in collaboration with different governmental institutions: Environmental Police, INCODER, and local communities and organizations (RECOMPAS, FUNDAPESCA) as well. We found it necessary to continue the campaigns and environmental education in this region, and to keep working with traditional fishermen and the local community. This project was made possible by awards from "Endangered Species - Jorge Ignacio Hernandez Camacho".

In the context of the European Marine Turtle Project co-funded by DG Fisheries (1999-2002), it has been possible to estimate the catch rate for bottom trawlers (400 turtles/year, with no direct mortality) and surface longlines (1,200-5,500 turtles/year with negligible direct mortality). This information is quite accurate as it is based on on-board observations and the data are comparable to the total fishing effort. On the other hand, small-scale fisheries represent a challenge when it comes down to assessing the extent of their interaction with sea turtles, as there are no available data on the fishing effort, and further, there are an unknown number of vessels using professional gear under non-professional licenses. However, there are strong indications that small-scale fisheries are responsible for high percentages of turtle deaths/injuries. These are (a) communications with fishermen, in the course of LIFE-Nature projects undertaken by ARCHELON in the Bays of Lakonikos, Kyparissia and Amvrakikos (b) Causes of death for many of the stranded turtles suggest that they were the result of their capture in small-scale fisheries and (c) the fact that the majority of sea turtles admitted to ARCHELON's Rescue Centre (67.2%) suffer from fisheries induced injuries, while 41.6% have head injuries, known to be caused by coastal fishermen (n=469, 1994-2005). The above led to ARCHELON implementing another LIFE-Nature Project, focused on coastal fisheries, aiming to reduce mortality of turtles at sea. The activities focused in areas accountable for 79% of the stranding reports: Crete, Western Greece, the Bays of Messiniakos and Argolikos in Peloponnesus, Kavala Bay and Rodos Island. Information was collected by developing contacts with Fishermen Associations as well as individual fishermen in these areas, filling in representative questionnaires. A total of 285 fishermen were contacted, belonging to 54 different Associations, while 42 representative questionnaires were filled. Some qualitative results of this study reveal that turtles are captured in small-scale fishing gear at least once a year; most captures occur close to river deltas, lagoons and vegetated areas; damages to fishing gear are usually in the form of holes in nets that can be mended; when captured, sea turtles are sometimes released by the fishermen, while others will deliberately attack them, usually by hitting them on the head. The reasons for this are anger at damages caused by marine animals, as well as the fishermen's belief that they will keep turtles off their fishing ground, in opposition to measures that sometimes have a negative impact on their finances or even superstition. The above suggest that in Greece, a significant number of turtles are captured every year in small-scale fisheries. It is therefore necessary that collaborative programmes with small-scale fisheries should be established and expanded, in order to ensure a reduction of turtle mortality at sea.

There are few area-specific sea turtle density data for the Navy's operations areas (OPAREAs), including the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Cherry Point OPAREAs, which encompasses portions of Core and Pamlico Sound, North Carolina. We documented the seasonal distribution and estimated density of sea turtles within Core and Pamlico Sound, and adjacent coastal waters extending one mile offshore. Sea surface temperature data (SST) extracted from 1.4 km/pixel resolution Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer satellite remote imagery were used to estimate water temperatures for each survey. Due to the difficulty of distinguishing species at high altitudes, we did not identify turtles to species except in the case of leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) sightings. A total of 92 turtles were sighted during 41 aerial surveys, conducted from July 2004 to April 2006. In the spring (7.9C to 21.7C), the majority of turtles sighted were along the coast, mainly from the northern Core Banks northward to Cape Hatteras. Two turtles were sighted just within the eastern Pamlico Sound, and one was within the vicinity, of the OPAREA. By the summer (25.2C to 30.8C), turtles were fairly evenly dispersed along the entire survey range of the coast and Pamlico Sound, with only a few sightings in Core Sound. The only leatherback turtle sighting occurred in the summer, just south of Cape Hatteras. In the autumn (9.6C to 29.6C), the majority of turtles sighted were along the coast and in eastern Pamlico Sound; however, fewer turtles were observed along the coast than in the summer. The greatest number of turtles sighted within Core Sound occurred in autumn, with four individuals being seen. No turtles were seen during the winter surveys (7.6C to 11.2C). For the entire survey area, the estimated density of turtles was greatest along the coast in the summer (40.6 turtles/100 km super(2), SE = 55.2) and in Core and Pamlico Sounds in the autumn (0.87 turtles/100 km super(2), SE = 1.56). The range of mean temperatures at which turtles were sighted was 9.7C to 30.8C. The majority of turtles we sighted were within water . 11C. As poikilotherms, sea turtles distributions are generally limited by water temperature. Based on the findings of this study, sea turtles are more likely to be encountered within Cherry Point OPAREAs during the summer, and when SST is . 11C.

They possess temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD) which can result in a variety of hatchling sex ratios. Thus, hatchling sex ratios are of conservation and ecological interest. French Frigate Shoals (FFS), part of the Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge is an atoll where approximately 90% of Hawaiian green nesting occurs. The purpose of this study was to predict hatchling sex ratios produced on East and Tern Islands at FFS based on both nest and beach temperature data from 1998-2005. Data loggers were placed into nests and in beach locations at mid-nest depth (approximately 45 cm) to monitor temperatures. Sex ratio predictions were based on the average temperature during the middle third of incubation. The nest temperature data suggested relatively cool temperatures compared to green turtle populations in other areas of the world. The sand temperatures were also relatively cool. These data suggest that either male sex ratios predominate or that the Hawaiian green turtle has evolved a lower pivotal temperature in its TSD. We have recently been addressing these hypotheses. Gonadal histology was employed to verify the sex of hatchlings that were found dead in nests after all of the live hatchlings emerged from the 2004 nesting season at FFS. The kidney and gonad tissue were preserved and processed using standard paraffin histological procedures. Each gonad was then examined using microscopy to determine if it was an ovary or a testis. Both male and female hatchlings were identified from FFS during 2004. Additionally, we are currently evaluating the pivotal temperature experimentally in laboratory incubators. The results of these studies will determine if Hawaiian green turtles have evolved a lower pivotal temperature than other populations of green turtles to coincide with cooler nesting beach temperatures.

The Park has been designated an International Biosphere Reserve, a World Heritage Site, and a Wetland of International Importance in light of its ecological significance. However, relatively little is known about the ecology of sea turtles in the coastal Everglades. We therefore recently initiated a comprehensive program focusing on mark-recapture, satellite tracking, foraging ecology, health, and genetic research in the Big Sable Creek complex (BSC) of the ENP on the southwest Florida coast. Thus far, we have recorded subadult green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) ranging from 10 to 60 cm carapace length in an unusual habitat--mangrove tidal creeks. We collected GPS coordinates of 36 different green sea turtles sightings. Many of these have been in isolated and shallow headwater regions of tidal creeks, approximately two kilometers from the Gulf coast. We mapped habitat features in the BSC tidal-creek complex, including submerged algal-covered logs that are remnants of old red mangroves (Rhizophora mangle) and clear, salt-water seeps. In a GIS analysis, we then overlaid the locations of the sea turtle sightings on these habitat feature maps to assess fine-scale associations of turtles and their habitats. As well, we took straight and curved carapace measurements, affixed inconel flipper tags, inserted PIT tags, and sampled for genetic analysis. Genetic samples collected from these turtles are being sequenced at the mtDNA control region and genotyped at microsatellite loci. We plan to elucidate levels of genetic differentiation between the ENP and other Atlantic populations, as well as among temporal periods at the study site, and the natal origins and dispersal patterns of these turtles. We present preliminary results of these analyses in this poster.

This park has the largest and most important coral reef area of the country (600 ha) and is an important feeding and developmental area for three species of sea turtles: Caretta caretta, Eretmochelys imbricata and Chelonia mydas. This protected area was created in 1970, and in its declaration the loggerhead is included in the existing sea turtle species; however, no scientifically validated nesting or sightings have been recorded since. In 2004 the remains of an adult specimen were found in the sector of Puerto Vargas. During September and October of 2005 and 2006, observations were made by setting up entanglement nets in various parts of the reef and by monitoring using transects and reef surveys. Two juvenile individuals were identified in Liki Shoal (Puerto Vargas) in 2005, and one other individual was observed both seasons in Punta Cahuita, where it possibly resides. In 2006, one adult male was captured and tagged at the same site, while another identified loggerhead, possibly a female was observed nearby the capture area. The physical condition of the animals was evaluated and the habitat where they were found was described. One of the captured turtles had tags that were placed during the 2005 season in Pearls Cays in Nicaragua. This and other observations not only prove the presence of C. caretta in CNP, but also suggest ecological links between the coral reef systems of Nicaragua and the south Caribbean of Costa Rica.

Based on these characteristics, life history theory is used to make predictions about a population's response to disturbances caused by environmental or anthropogenic factors. Here we consider how well life history characterizations facilitate our understanding of population responses to disturbances, in particular sea turtles in the Atlantic and Pacific. Human-mediated disturbances that have occurred in the past 30 years provide a 'natural' experiment to test these theoretical predictions. To consider the utility of demographic profiles in tracking population responses, we construct standard population models for sea turtle populations with different demographic profiles that experienced and continue to experience a suite of anthropogenic disturbances. We then compare model-predicted responses and observed population trends across the demographic profiles. For cases where the model projections and empirical data diverge, we test alternate hypotheses to explain observed trends. Our simulations support the utility of demographic modeling and historical reconstruction as an important tool in setting realistic expectations and measurements of success for management actions, as well as a means of testing alternate hypotheses to explain population recoveries and declines.

Nonetheless, the population has received virtually no attention from the sea turtle conservation community and directed, systematic studies to evaluate current status and abundance are non-existent. In 2007 a directed effort to generate information and awareness regarding this neglected population will be undertaken in the Gulf of California, Mexico, which provides a confined foraging habitat for juvenile individuals and where many of the more recent reports regarding this population have taken place. The project will include the following: 1) evaluation of historical abundance through a compilation of historical literature and interviews with fisher elders; 2) evaluation of current distribution and abundance through a regional hawksbill sighting network, interviews with fishers, in-water sampling, and satellite telemetry of 2 or more turtles; 3) stock assessment through genetic sampling; and 4) education/outreach to raise awareness of and reverse the largely unnoticed decline of this critically endangered population. The study will provide much needed information on this data deficient population of sea turtles, thus assisting in its classification, conservation and management.

The turtles can be entangled in the lines, accidentally hooked, or hooked in the mouth, throat or gut after consuming the bait. Contact between the turtles and fishing gear could in some instances be accidental, or a consequence of attraction to the gear, baits, or lights that are used at night to attract intended prey (swordfish, bigeye tuna, sharks) that feed during the dark period. Studies to date have been conducted on loggerheads (Caretta caretta) that are easily maintained in captivity, and which are known to consume the bait. These have revealed that the turtles are attracted to the gear, baits, and lights (colored lightsticks and battery powered electralumes). No comparable studies have been done with leatherbacks (Dermochelys coriacea) because this species is difficult to keep in captivity. We reared leatherbacks, making it possible for the first time to do experiments that test their response to lights, presented at night. Sixteen juvenile leatherbacks, 55 to 90 cm in straight-line carapace length and 5 to 42 days in age, were subjects. All were in excellent condition. The study took place at the Florida Atlantic University marine laboratory, in Boca Raton, Florida, U.S.A. Turtles were tested in large, circular pools and tethered to a horizontally-rotating lever arm so that their orientation as they swam was continuously recorded at 10 s intervals for 10 min trials. Data were stored on a computer using a software program that calculated a mean angle of orientation for the trial. Half of the turtles were tested twice (at intervals ranging between 5 and 16 days) to measure their response to both lightsticks and to electralumes; the remainder were exposed either to lightsticks or to electralumes. Each turtle was exposed to four trials on a given night: blue, green, orange or control (lightstick or electralume that emitted no light), presented in a random order. The turtles were given a 3 min acclimation period with each light or control before the 10 min trial began. After each trial, the turtles were given 5 min of darkness before the next trial began. As groups, leatherbacks (with one exception) showed no significant orientation toward any color. However, individuals behaved differently, with some orienting toward the lights and others, orienting at an angle (115 degree - 152 degree ) away from the light where it probably remained within their visual field. These responses indicate that the turtles detected, and responded to, the lights. We conclude that reactions of juvenile turtles to lights are behaviorally complex, and show elements of attraction and repulsion. Whether these responses are also characteristic of larger, and older, turtles remains unknown. What is evident, however, is that responses differ from those shown by loggerheads that consume the baits. Leatherbacks are more often entangled, suggesting that in the field, lights used to attract and direct predatory fishes to the baits may fail to elicit a similar response from these turtles.

In the early years data were collected on debilitated and deceased sea turtles within the five-mile city limits of Boca Raton. Overtime, efforts expanded to include southern Palm Beach County (from the Palm Beach County Line 2619'15"N -8004'29"W, north to the Boynton Inlet, 2632'43"N -8002'35"W). In this presentation, we will present an analysis of data collected from 1980-2006 with emphasis on data collected within Boca Raton city limits. Analysis of species distribution, size-class, seasonality, and disease occurrence will be conducted using Microsoft Excel 2000, ArcGIS 9.0 with the extension Spatial Analyst. Strandings overall occurred most often during the height of the nesting season (May, June and July). During the non-nesting months, the sub adult turtles were found stranded more often than other size classes. Leatherback strandings (n=14), however, occurred only in the fall and winter months. We find it interesting that strandings of this species have not occurred throughout the leatherback nesting season (March to June in Boca Raton). The green turtle (Chelonia mydas) stranded at the highest frequency (n=197), followed closely by the loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta, n=186). As expected, the stranding densities of both the green and loggerhead turtles were higher within the city limits of Boca Raton. This can be explained simply on the increased likelihood of a stranded turtle being reported within the city limits, where significant effort has occurred to educate the public on the proper reporting procedures. To the north of the city, there are a greater percentage of private lands where we expect the larger turtles to be reported by the public more often then the smaller turtle strandings. Analysis of stranding data using GIS and Spatial Analyst has greatly simplified data interpretation. Trends that are understood (e.g. greater strandings reported in areas of greater effort) are easily expressed visually in density maps. Presenting data in this way can assist managers and conservationists to focus resources using visual, data supported documentation.

The primary focus of the GIS is to provide technical support, mapping, and analysis on all manner of spatial and temporal GIS data and aerial imagery. One aspect of this support involves the use of Global Positioning Systems (GPS). The Code Enforcement officer for the Town of Hilton Head Island communicated the need for additional technical support in order to properly enforce the Sea Turtle Protection Ordinance. The Sea Turtle Protection Ordinance was adopted to help reduce the disorientation of sea turtles during nesting and hatching season. Due to previous lack of enforcement, the number of hatchlings disorientation has been on the rise. The link between artificial light and hatchling strandings has been well documented in the research literature. With over 740 addresses along the beach, the enforcement of the light violations has historically been a major obstacle for proper enforcement and record keeping. The lack of adequate technology and those capable of using it has posed a significant challenge for proper enforcement and record keeping. With the aid of a mapping grade GPS, a laser range finder and a compass, it becomes possible to travel the twelve miles of beach at night and capture the addresses of homes in violation. Upon returning to the office, the analyst is then able to generate user friendly maps that evening. The maps are created using ESRI software known as ArcGIS. The maps are then relayed to the enforcement officer which allow for warnings to be served the following day. The implementation of the technology and the development of this process allows for efficient code enforcement. With the development of the model, the methodology has potential applications for other sea turtle conservation projects. Given available technology, this process can be shared and the methodology duplicated throughout other coastal communities. The principal driving force behind a proper process is to maintain consistent GPS accuracy and documented methods that can and will be used to support legal cases. With an established sea turtle protection ordinance, consistent enforcement, and record keeping; conservation efforts can be strengthened. The results of the 2006 nesting and hatching season have yet to be completed, but preliminary data suggests that this technology has significantly decreased nesting and hatchling disorientation. The Town of Hilton Head issued 588 warnings with supporting documentation for lights this season. The number of warnings is 270 more than the last four years combined. The 2006 year showed 185 document nests on Hilton Head Island. The number is up from last year's 166 nests and up more than 25 percent from the 10-year average of 146.

The United States government, as required by the Endangered Species Act, issues permits which authorize the "take" of sea turtles incidental to commercial fishing operations. These permits allow for fishing activity while ensuring that interactions with sea turtles do not jeopardize the health or recovery of turtle populations. The government is required to consider the cumulative impact of all activities before issuing such authorizations. However, the U.S. government has never added up the total number of sea turtles it allows commercial fisheries to catch, thus failing to ensure that the total activity by all fisheries is not pushing turtles to the brink of extinction. By analyzing all Incidental Take Statements for all U.S. commercial fisheries, it was possible to obtain the number of sea turtles the U.S. government authorizes U.S. commercial fishing operations to take. The analysis showed that the government authorizes more than 340,000 sea turtles to be injured and nearly 10,000 sea turtles to be killed each year. Worse yet, when most commercial fisheries catch their authorized number of sea turtles, the government allows fishing activity to continue even if more turtles are caught. The U.S. government needs to implement a system to ensure that permitted fishing activities are not driving threatened or endangered species to extinction. To solve this problem, the government must determine how many sea turtles of each species and in each region of the United States can be harmed and killed without jeopardizing the continued existence of their populations or their recovery, issue authorizations to interact with turtles based on these numbers, and then actually enforce the limits that they create.

The loggerhead (Caretta caretta) life cycle consists of developmental stages which can be segregated spatially and temporally. In the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean, the waters of Uruguay are an important foraging and migratory habitat for immature and mature loggerhead sea turtles. In general, juvenile loggerheads inhabit offshore waters, while mature turtles are present along the continental shelf. These turtles are taken as bycatch in the industrial fisheries that operate in the area; the pelagic longline fleet operates over the shelf break and oceanic waters, and the coastal bottom trawl fleet operates over the shelf, at no more than 50m depth, mainly in the Rio de la Plata estuary. In order to characterize the haplotype composition, possible natal origins, and dispersal behavior of loggerhead turtles incidentally captured by these fisheries, we carried out preliminary genetic analyses. Following DNA extraction, we sequenced a 340 base pair fragment of the mitochondrial DNA control region. Sequence editing and alignment revealed three haplotypes previously described for loggerhead turtles. All of the loggerheads caught in coastal bottom trawl fishery were large, classified as adults or medium to large juveniles, and shared the single "D" haplotype (n=10). This haplotype is only found among sources in Brazil, the rookery closest to Uruguay. In contrast, the animals caught in longlines were smaller (mostly small and medium juveniles), more genetically diverse, and some were traceable to distant rookeries. Three different haplotypes were revealed in the longline sample (n=10): Haplotype "B" present among rookeries in the USA, Mexico and Greece; Haplotype CC-A34 found only in the Pacific, and Haplotype "D". These results suggest that larger turtles may forage closer to their birthplace in Brazil, while some smaller turtles from distant rookeries may disperse and utilize southern Atlantic waters during their developmental stages before returning to their natal rookeries. Correspondingly, the coastal bottom trawl fishery may primarily affect turtles breeding in Brazil, while populations as distant as Australia may be impacted by longline activities. Marine turtles are highly migratory and often cross national borders throughout their life cycles. Therefore activities in one jurisdiction can affect the status of the species in another. This study furthers our understanding of the distribution and migratory behavior of loggerhead turtles in the southern Atlantic and confirms the importance of international cooperation in managing these species. Further research is needed, and monitoring of Uruguayan fisheries should continue in order to provide the information necessary for devising appropriate international conservation measures.

Empirical data on the bycatch of turtles are lacking in artisanal fisheries. For 10 days we conducted informal interviews with fishers, fishing net surveys, searched for strandings, and deployed fishing nets to directly quantify turtle bycatch in an artisanal fishery from the Dominican Republic. Our study area was a major feeding ground for hawksbills turtles within a Caribbean UNESCO Biosphere Reserve with artisanal fishers soaking nets daily. We calculated a catch per unit effort of 0.03 turtles/h (SD c0.04) and estimated an alarming bycatch rate of c1 turtle/day from surveys and experimental fishing trials. We call for other rapid assessments that would aim to quantify turtle bycatch from artisanal fisheries to facilitate policy and management action protecting this critically endangered marine species.

However, scientists have argued that in general, the IUCN Red List criteria are inadequate for determining the status of sea turtles; largely because the global approach does not adequately reflect the status of regional or local subpopulations. As part of its Sea Turtle Assessment Strategy, the MTSG will launch a regional sea turtle assessment initiative for all species in all regions in an effort to accurately describe abundance changes at these smaller spatial scales. To ensure that the strategies employed in this effort are reflective of the attitudes and ideas of its membership, the MTSG leadership circulated a Red List Questionnaire to membership during the second half of 2006. A total of 12 questions were included, inquiring about aspects such as how members felt about MTSG's obligation to undertake Global Red List Assessments, what components they believed were important for a regional assessment strategy, and what format a regional assessment final report should adhere to. The survey had over 50 respondents from more than 20 different countries. This paper summarizes the results of this MTSG Red List Questionnaire and highlights some of the key aspects that MTSG members believe are necessary for developing the most effective regional assessments for sea turtles.

The Diet Of Planes Cyaneus And Their Association With Loggerhead And Olive Ridley Turtles Off The Pacific Coast Of Baja California Sur, Mexico AN - 20420859; 9094236 AB - In the Pacific Ocean, both loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) sea turtles host a variety of epifauna, including a species of grapsid crab, Planes cyaneus (Dana, 1851). This study examines the ecological role of sea turtles as hosts using Planes as a model interacting species. Although this relationship is currently being studied in the Atlantic, little is known about the diet of P. cyaneus and their association with sea turtles in the Pacific. In Bahia de Ulloa, Baja California Sur, Mexico, 87 loggerheads and 14 olive ridleys were examined for crab presence. A total of 85 crabs were collected from both species of turtles sampled. Previous studies have indicated that Planes species may be foraging on the epibiotic organisms that are commonly found on sea turtles, but the diet and ecology of these crabs is poorly understood. Because olive ridley turtles have much lower abundance and diversity of both epi-flora and -fauna than loggerheads, we hypothesized that crab abundance would be lower on olive ridleys due to food limitation. However, a higher proportion of crabs were found on olive ridleys (50%) than on loggerheads (42%). In order to understand this discrepancy, we analyzed the number of crabs per turtle, percent cover data from turtle carapace photographs, and diet of crabs via stomach content sampling. Social structure of crabs found on turtles was also studied. Female crabs had significantly longer carapace lengths than males and 57% were ovigerous. Most of the crabs present on turtles were found in male-female pairs or as singletons with more than two crabs per turtle rarely occurring.

Reversing the decline of loggerhead turtles is a priority clearly articulated in US, Japanese and Mexican environmental policy, as well as by local, national and international NGOs and intergovernmental agencies. Unfortunately, efforts to protect loggerheads have been hampered by poor pan-Pacific coordination among agencies, organizations, scientists, and fishers. Because fisheries bycatch is the greatest known threat to loggerheads, it is clear that conservation action must be coordinated in all three countries. Fisheries conservation initiatives in Mexico and Hawaii and nesting beach protection in Japan have resulted in reduced turtle mortality, but loggerhead turtle bycatch remains problematic in some fisheries. Preliminary social research indicates that fishers can be motivated to take conservation action by their appreciation for turtles' transpacific migrations and consequential vulnerability. We have assembled a pan-Pacific team from the U.S., Japan, and Mexico to share their knowledge towards understanding the cultural, social, and economic conditions that threaten loggerhead turtles in each country and for developing joint solutions to this shared problem. Through international exchange and capacity building, we are empowering fisher leaders and policy makers from Mexico, the US, and Japan to convey the transpacific migration and vulnerability of loggerhead turtles to other fishers and their families in bycatch hotspot communities. A delegation of Mexican, Japanese and US fishers, conservationists and scientists traveled to Japan, Mexico, and the US (this Symposium) to: 1) gain a pan-Pacific conservation perspective by experiencing trans-Pacific traveling loggerhead turtles in Japan; 2) share local bycatch concerns and develop solutions with international counterparts at the annual meeting of the Sea Turtle Association of Japan and at the annual meeting of the Grupo Tortuguero; 3) inspire and empower fishers to reduce bycatch by sharing the exchanges through community enrichment programs and a short documentary film; and 4) to share new knowledge of loggerheads to develop a tri-national conservation strategy to recover the North Pacific population.

One contributing factor to this decline has been identified as turtle bycatch associated with pelagic longline fisheries. Recent estimates indicate that thousands of sea turtles interact with pelagic longline fisheries each year. The focus of our experiments was to develop methodologies for testing potential strategies aimed at reducing sea turtle interactions with fishing gear. Using tangle nets set in the Estero Coyote near the town of Punta Abreojos, Baja California, Mexico, we examined the catch rates of green turtles (Chelonia mydas). Two exploratory experiments were conducted. During the day, we examined the effects of shark shaped silhouettes on turtle catch rates. During the night, we tested the effects of light sticks used in pelagic longline fisheries on turtle catch rates. Previous experiments with captive raised sea turtles indicate turtles have an innate avoidance behavior to shark shapes. Using similarly sized shark silhouettes, our preliminary results showed a decrease in turtle capture rates when shark shapes were present. This initial result suggests that shark silhouettes may work as a deterrent to sea turtles in certain fisheries. Recent laboratory experiments suggest that lightsticks used in the longline fisheries are one of the cues that attract turtles to the longlines. Our initial field experiments in Baja California, MX, however, suggest that turtles are caught less when lightsticks were present. This may be due to the lightsticks illuminating the nets and allowing turtles avoid becoming entangled. If so, this methodology could be used to test lightsticks designed to be less visible to sea turtles.

The objectives of this project are: 1) to build a diverse network of fishermen, students, teachers, activists, researchers, funders, managers, indigenous community members and other coastal citizens.; 2) draw on these relationships to understand threats, generate new knowledge and develop locally-appropriate solutions and 3) empower local leaders to communicate the conservation message and share these solutions widely. One of the main challenges in the field of marine conservation is the progression from field research to knowledge to the modification of detrimental behaviors. Recognizing this, a comprehensive education, outreach and communications plan remains a major part of our conservation strategy. Based on our research and work in communities we implement solutions and share our findings widely through a variety of media outlets, educational programs, festivals, symposia and public meetings, with the goals of defining policy and modifying detrimental behaviors. Using the five species of sea turtle found on the Baja California peninsula (Caretta caretta, Chelonia mydas, Dermochelys coriacea, Eretmochelys imbricata and Lepidochelys olivacea) as flagship species for environmental conservation, we are encouraging sensitivity and appreciation of local natural resources. We have developed a methodology to identify the main environmental challenges in the region, and have developed various activities such as cleanup campaigns, festivals, sporting events, and outreach using stickers, posters and t-shirts that have become a permanent message of conservation and protection of sea turtles.

To date, most nesting inventory evaluations of beach nourishment impacts compare total emergence or nest counts from the project area to 'control' areas or other natural beaches geographically removed from the nourishment project. Using detailed global positioning system (GPS) coordinates for each documented emergence in the 1999-2002 nesting seasons from Juno Beach, Florida, we apply spatial statistical techniques to describe and compare local emergence patterns within and adjacent to a nourishment project conducted between the 2000 and 2001 nesting seasons. More specifically, we compare the spatial intensity of emergences (number of emergences per unit distance) between the two years prior and the two years after the nourishment project. We report pre-/post-nourishment comparisons for all emergences, nesting emergences, and non-nesting emergences for both loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and green (Chelonia mydas) turtles. The detailed location data and statistical approach not only identify locally varying reductions in all emergences (nesting and nonnesting) per unit distance in the nourishment zone for both species, but also reveal different species-specific increases and decreases as one moves north and south to areas immediately adjacent to the nourishment zone. Loggerhead emergences are significantly reduced in the two-year post-nourishment period compared to the two-year pre-nourishment period for a continuous interval beginning approximately 2,000 feet north of the northern end and ending approximately 5,000 feet north of the southern end of the approximately 15,000 foot nourishment zone. That is, moving from north to south, the observed interval of significant reduction begins before entering the nourishment zone and ends prior to reaching the end of the zone. In addition, significantly increased loggerhead nesting intensities are observed to the north (for areas further than 3,000 feet north of the nourishment zone) and also to the south (beginning coincident with the southern border) of the nourishment zone. While based on fewer observed emergences than for the loggerhead data, green turtle nesting largely follows a similar pattern but with significant reductions beginning somewhat closer to the northern end of the nourishment zone while still ending approximately 5,000 feet north of the southern end of the nourishment zone. No significant increases were observed north of the nourishment zone for green turtles but, as with loggerheads, we observe significant increases beginning immediately south of the nourishment zone. Importantly, the results for both species reveal significant reductions in both nesting and non-nesting emergences in the two years following the nourishment project suggesting an impact on behavior prior to emergence from the ocean, in addition to any behavioral modifications due to the experiences of the nesting turtles as they emerge on the newly reconstructed beach. While we focus on results from Juno Beach Florida, we also briefly present similar results for Jupiter Beach, indicating consistent general patterns of emergence reductions within the nourishment zone accompanied by similar increases in areas adjacent and to the immediate south of the nourishment zone.

Pertaining these to the indigenous ethnic group Au or Paraujanos that through transculturization process have tried to maintain the essence of their culture before the different urban demands which they are put under. This island is one of the populations of work of the GTTM-GV to be in direct bonding with the Gulf of Venezuela and because historically in this island the marine turtles have been frequent personages for the nutritional and economic sustenance, which increases the risk of extinction of these animals. Due to the 8 years of investigation and educational work of the GTTM-GV in this Island, it is important to emphasize the permanent cognitive changes that they have been generated in the population of fishermen that lives there. This investigation was made through qualitative investigation, using the phenomenological method for his process and the technique of interview structured like recollection of data. The sample of informants will be conformed by 8 fishing inhabitants of the island, arranged to offer the necessary information and to triangle these data into a history of events to accompany the obtained findings.

Turtle population declines in the region can be attributed to habitat degradation from coastal development, increasing marine pollution, removal of eggs and females from nesting beaches, and the capture of juveniles from foraging areas for human consumption. In Honduras, turtle populations are compromised by these and other wide-spread factors, yet levels of awareness regarding the plight and status of sea turtles among locals, visitors, researchers and the conservation community are surprisingly low. This, in part, may stem from a lack of published research coming from Honduras. One area of the country that especially facilitates initial opportunities for research, and engaging local communities and visitors in awareness is the island of Roatan. For this reason, we have initiated a series of national research and outreach efforts under the Protective Turtle Ecology Cooperative for Training, Outreach and Research (ProTECTOR). These initial efforts have been organized as the Turtle Awareness and Protection Studies (TAPS) program based on Roatan in the Bay Islands of Honduras. With cooperation from the local community of Oak Ridge, the Reef House Resort and Projecto Manejo Ambientales de Isla de Bahia (PMAIB), the TAPS program commenced in February, 2006 with the study of 24 'reclaimed' sea turtles, of which 83% were juvenile hawksbill turtles, Eretmochelys imbricata, and 17% were juvenile green turtles, Chelonia mydas. Since commencement of the program, temporarily captive turtles have been monitored for health and growth, showing mean growth rates of 0.27 cm month-1 for E. imbricata and 0.1 cm times month-1 for C. mydas, based on curved carapace lengthmax. Detailed measurements are among the data collected and stored in the TAPS Geographical Information System (GIS). The GIS designed to support the TAPS projects, is focused on the use of maps and globes to represent locations of turtles and track their migrations. It will also have the ability to compare location information with environmental parameters, such as sea surface temperature and current direction. Juvenile turtles are likely to stay 'local' for many years, with home ranges along the coasts of Roatan. This remains to be determined and will be mapped with points and polygons as more information and data are collected. The TAPS Turtle Adoption Program, established in June of 2006, helps to facilitate and build on turtle awareness efforts and provides a sustainable form of outreach beyond the immediate community. This program offers opportunities for individuals to contribute to the TAPS research efforts in Honduras, affording one source of financial support that supplements national and international grant funding. Projects under development include mapping nesting beaches of the Bay Islands, a two-year nesting beach monitoring program, long-term female tagging, determination of home ranges for juvenile hawksbill and green sea turtles by radio telemetry, satellite telemetry, determination of growth rates for wild-caught juveniles, and mapping historical versus current distributions. A top priority of the TAPS program is to provide scientific data that is currently lacking, to local area managers of endangered species and to the international conservation community.

Matura, located on the east coast of Trinidad, represents one of the three major nesting beaches in Trinidad. In the 1970's and 1980's, the local community hunted nesting turtles on this beach. To manage this problem a conservation partnership between the local communities and the government wildlife agency was prompted. This collaboration led to the formation of community-based organizations known as Nature Seekers in Matura, dedicated to conserving sea turtles while promoting Community Tourism in the area. After years of growth, the organisations have extended their work to include Public Education. During this time the activities of the communities attracted and transformed sea turtle hunters and their children into conservationists, who are now some of the strongest members of the team. Volunteers patrol the beaches on a nightly basis to protect the nesting turtles. In addition important scientific data are collected such as tag numbers, measurements, physical condition, weather conditions etc. An intensive tagging program has been in operation for the past few years, initiated in Matura. The conducting of tours to view the nesting process of the turtles and to provide sea turtle related education was done both at local and national levels. The Community collaborated on many research projects conducted by scientists from international organizations and universities (such as the Satellite Tracking of Turtles done this year by Scoot Eckert). This project supports the involvement of the local communities in natural resource management and it allows them to realize the value of the natural environment surrounding the community, the economic potentials associated with tourism activities, as well as the goal of sustainable livelihoods. This presentation shares a community's experience in community-based conservation.

Also, when the objectives demand a full coverage of the beach, it is necessary people and mechanisms, to ensure the coverage of 100% of the nesting events. To comply with this objective, many projects have implemented volunteer programs, that on the other hand also aid to install social and economic processes that allow a decrease of the anthropogenic impacts. In Gandoca beach, the volunteer program has been an essential tool; the funds generated by the sale of services such as room and board by the local community (among other services) has resulted in incomes to the local community of at least 7 times more than the value of the eggs in the black market, while there has been a decrease in the poaching of nests by 97% and hunting has been reduced to 0%. These type of programs also promote community organization, public awareness, socialization of the income, diversification of the sources of income and the participation of women in decision making pertinent to the development of the community. Programs such as the one in Gandoca, with sustained activity since 1992, prove that it is possible to develop synergy between scientific work and generation of income through mechanisms of control and training.

Wildlife Refuge, Gandoca ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Towards establishing a Georgia Sea Turtle learning community AN - 20420720; 9094278 AB - Starting its 17th year of integrating "Conservation, Research, and Education," the St. Catherines Sea Turtle Conservation Program has put 100,177 hatchlings into the sea, hosted 202 interns, 180 of whom are K-12 teachers who have taught over 198,152 school children during the 16 years of the program. Research outcomes have included definition of loggerhead nest morphologies common to Georgia, development of a Rapid Assessment Tool for Sea Turtle Nesting Habitat, the conceptualization of an ancient doublet island to St. Catherines (named Guale Island), the discovery and definition of an ancient Cretaceous sea turtle nest in the Fox Hills Formation southeast of Denver, Colorado (the first fossil sea turtle nest ever described!), instituted educational reform in field-based, experiential inquiry learning, and completed many smaller research projects. The Program provides content and pedagogical enhancement for 14 K-12 teachers each summer in a 10-day class, including a 7-day residential internship on beautiful St. Catherines Island, Georgia. Students are mentored by colleagues and taught by a cadre of scientists and educators to broaden their knowledge of stewardship of the Earth through conservation of threatened and endangered loggerhead sea turtles nesting on the sandy beaches of St. Catherines Island. Interns are presented with a holistic scientific education in a real-world field setting where they gain hands-on experience and build a learning community around charismatic sea turtles. The course of study includes four and three-credit University courses (GSU 5740 and GSU 5741), helping students re-certify with PDU credit, college credit, or build toward an advanced degree. Expected outcomes include the design and execution of an endangered species teaching unit, the accumulation of free, natural history teaching materials for each teacher's classroom, and unforgettable experiences documented by digital photography. The Georgia learning community has included an interesting component of veterinarians taught through the EnviroVet Program, participation of veterinarian students, and collaborations built in the learning community. Field lectures on sea turtles have been presented for five years to the world-wide participants in the EnviroVet Program of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Three masters degree students have used the sea turtle program as a basis for theses. Liaisons with the St. Catherines Wildlife Survival Center has led to development of a Sea Turtle Outreach Internship at the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Georgia. Tangible outcomes have included development of web-based resources, a Handbook for Sea Turtle Interns, publication of web-based lesson plans, and education leading to the establishment of other sea turtle programs. Intangible outcomes have included the education of nearly 200,000 students in sea turtle conservation. An informal learning community has been built using mentoring from year to year, but has lacked the coherence of established lines of communication to link annual cohorts beyond the participation of mentors. This deficiency will be alleviated by construction of the Georgia Sea Turtle Rehabilitation and Education Center to pull the past and future participants in this and other Georgia programs together.

Using a political ecology framework, this paper looks at how critical the labor and capital provided by paying-participants are to the operation of these programs. The results are drawn from a survey of identified nesting programs on the Pacific and Caribbean coasts of Costa Rica, as well as earlier interviews and participant observation at a beach-nesting program in the community of San Miguel, Guanacaste province. These initial findings show that the project directors and coordinators value the increased presence paying-participants create on the beach for deterring poaching, but there is a great deal of variation in the amount of work and types of tasks volunteers do between projects. This poster analyzes these issues, as well as the timing of the peak volunteer tourist season with turtle nesting, the amount of capital generated by participants, and the proportion of fees that go toward conservation and local communities.

In spite of this importance, little is known about their habitats in coastal North Carolina waters. Sea turtles are highly migratory and cryptic, making research initiatives difficult. To gain more insight into the migrations and habitat uses of sea turtles, researchers are increasingly relying on satellite telemetry to record spatial and temporal distributions of these animals. These data can aid in conservation by identifying critical sea turtle habitat and the multiple jurisdictional boundaries they cross during their migrations. Researchers have implemented this methodology to study loggerheads that nest on Bald Head Island in North Carolina. In spite of its success as a research tool, there are limitations in the accuracy of the telemetry location data, and data provide limited habitat information. In order to ground-truth the satellite data and gain further insight into the habitat features that characterize foraging and over-wintering sites for nesting North Carolina loggerheads, we developed a survey to target recreational dive shops, scientific divers and charter boats that operate in these areas. Survey respondents answered a series of questions regarding sea turtle observations, habitat characteristics, and potential threats to turtles within these sites. Preliminary results indicate that divers and boaters posses a wealth of knowledge about the turtle habitats we are interested in. The extent and value of their knowledge of the marine environment is comparable to the traditional ecological knowledge that researchers often seek from fishermen. While initial enthusiasm about the project was high among respondents, the mail-based methodology first used incited less participation than expected. New efforts expanded the study to include respondents other than just dive operators, and to employ new social science survey methods other than the initial mail-based survey such as face-to-face surveys. Survey methodology represents a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between the public and scientific community. It also allows for a richer exploration of satellite data that is often not possible for pelagic environments that do not overlap with human uses. This project is important in identifying the strengths and limitations of such a methodology to achieve this goal. This survey methodology could be adapted to other areas where satellite telemetry has been used to track migratory animals, and the qualitative information could complement the quantitative satellite data for more comprehensive habitat assessments.

The GSTC's mission is conservation through rehabilitation, research, and novel educational experiences designed to yield environmental action. The facility and programs have been designed from the ground up to integrate a spectrum of educational opportunities for all ages. Using the loggerhead sea turtle as a flagship species of Georgia's highly prized coastal habitats, a staff of ten professional educators will lead programs for students of all ages. Programs Include: Pre-Kindergarteners and their Parents-Through the GSTC's "Hatchlings" program, preschoolers and their parents participate in age-appropriate nature programs throughout the year. Standards-based fieldtrips and outreach visits are also available for local preschool and parents' groups. K-12th Grades-Public courses for elementary students include "Eco-Explorers" ecology programs and nature-themed holiday camps. Middle and high school students can also volunteer through the GSTC's unique environmental action club, "Seas the Day". Through partnerships with local, state, and other conservation agencies, the GSTC works to introduce these young people to the fields of marine science. Educators from elementary to high school can choose from a range of field-based trips and outreach visits, all correlated to exceed state and national standards for learning-- Over thirty engaging marine education courses allow students to explore the marine ecosystem through hands-on activities and experiential learning. Environmental action is emphasized in every class, using real-world applications and encouraging ecological problem solving. Each program has been individually tailored to meet best practices in environmental education, as evaluated by local teachers and education administrators. Additional teacher resources include GSTC professional educator workshops and portable Teacher Resource and Curriculum Kits (TRACKs), which supply local schools with interactive curriculum guides on sea turtle biology, conservation, and the marine ecosystem. Undergraduate, Graduate, Veterinary and Adult students- Internships and service-learning opportunities are in place for college and veterinary students, and throughout the summer sea turtle nesting months, seasonal technicians (undergraduate/graduate students) help to monitor loggerhead nesting activity and educate the beach-going public. Through our Scientist for a Day workshops, Nighttime Turtle Walks and early morning Hatchling Walk programs, whole families can actively assist with the GSTC's ongoing research, while Elderhostel programs offer continuing education for retirees. Finally, adults of all ages are encouraged to join the GSTC's extensive volunteer programs where they may guide sea turtle walks, assist with animal care and husbandry, and participate as interpretive docents within the facility. General Visiting Public- The facility itself is constructed to immerse the visitor in the rehabilitation process with a true "behind the scenes" experience via a public passage way through the working veterinary hospital. In addition to sea turtle natural history and conservation efforts, the GSTC's fixed, interactive exhibits highlight action-based ideas, activities, and opportunities for individual involvement.

These include, the leatherback, olive ridley and green turtles. This study was undertaken as a follow up to a previous study that assessed the effectivenes of conservation education in achieving the conservation of marine turtles along the Amansuri Coast in the Western Region of Ghana. We evaluated the effect of parameters such as beach development, sand texture and sanitation along the beach on the distribution and nesting activities of turtles, and how this logistically fit into the level of awareness by local communities. The data used was collected over three years. Preliminary results show that the major factor influencing the distribution and nesting behaviours is beach development and low level of awareness of the importance of marine turtles.

Together, these island beaches represent the nesting activity of the loggerhead within the boundaries of Cumberland Island National Seashore (CUIS), Camden County, Georgia. CUIS was created in 1972 and placed at that time under the management of the National Park Service, U.S. Department of Interior. Two multiple-year periods (1985-1991 and 2001-2006) have been selected for historical comparison of nesting distribution, representing a subset of approximately 3,000 records. Distributions are analyzed by eighth mile beach sectors derived from historical data. Patterns along the beach suggest that a variety of environmental factors are affecting nest site selection. The location of Christmas Creek separating Cumberland Island from Little Cumberland Island is an obvious example of a nesting discontinuity. Other causes for distributional anomalies are less obvious and may include dune height (dark horizon), fresh water runoff, areas of severe erosion, and a unique geomorphic characteristic of the CUIS beach apparently related to near shore currents. Of particular interest is an apparent shift in the location of nesting density between the two time periods (1985-1991 and 2002-2005) that may correlate with an erosion-depositional pattern affecting the quality of nesting habitat along the beach front. Possible anthropogenic causes for nesting discontinuities are discussed, including the chronic presence of mainland lights originating from several sources visible to the CUIS nesting beach.

Critically eroded shoreline areas pose a myriad of environmental concerns (e.g., limited nesting habitat for sea turtles and shorebirds, increased risk of inundation of sea turtle nests, destruction of threatened beach flora). Potential sources of beach compatible sand include offshore inter-reef sedimentary infills, upland dunes, inland sources, and aragonite sand from the Bahama Banks. In addition, Coastal Planning & Engineering, Inc. (CPE) have proposed using recycled glass cullet as a potential alternative source material for beach fill. Recycled glass cullet has physical properties similar to natural silica sands, making it a viable alternative beach fill material along critically eroded shorelines. This research marks the first study to investigate the abiotic properties of recycled glass cullet as an alternative beach fill material in relation to the nesting habitat requirements of marine turtles. Specifically, temperature, moisture content (dew point temperature and relative humidity), and respiratory gas exchange are considered the most important abiotic variables affecting the survival of reptilian embryos. In this case, sea turtles were identified as the species of concern. Florida serves as one of the most important nesting environments for sea turtles in the United States, with more than 50,000 nests annually. The main concern arises when an alternative sediment type may produce a foreign nesting environment. Within the glass cullet, the synergism between moisture, temperature, and gas exchange must be similar to natal beach conditions in order to avoid impacts to developing embryos during incubation. The purpose of this study was to determine if glass cullet mixtures exhibit the same abiotic characteristics (temperature, moisture content, and respiratory gas exchange) when compared to the natural beach sediments. By constructing a simulated sea turtle nesting hatchery, and utilizing thermal/moisture logging sensors and gas probe samples, it was determined that recycled cullet does uphold the abiotic nest chamber parameters to allow for proper sea turtle embryo development and success. Simulated nests containing recycled glass cullet all recorded average temperatures that fell within the acceptable incubation range for sea turtles and moisture content showed no significant differences from the beach sand controls (t-test, P>0.05). Similarly, gas probe samples analyzed from all the experimental cullet nests recorded high concentrations of oxygen with no significant variations from the beach sand controls (t-test, P>0.05). Overall, this study showed that nests constructed with a portion of recycled glass cullet offer a nesting environment that is equal in its developmental parameters as the natural beach sand. Worldwide, the nesting beaches of sea turtles are under the constant threat of erosion, which ultimately results in the loss of nesting habitat. By revealing that recycled glass cullet is a biologically viable, sea turtle friendly nesting substrate, this research can help pave the way for a new method in beach protection.

Furthermore, the knowledge of the mating system is particularly relevant for the protection and recovery plans of sea turtles. The population of common turtle, Caretta caretta of the Archipelago of Cape Verde is one of the greater nesting populations of the Atlantic, together with those of Florida and Oman. During the nesting season, loggerhead sea turtles nest on a particular beach, generally laying their subsequent clutches on the same area. In this study, 15 mothers and offspring's were collected in the island of Boa Vista during the peak of the annual 2004 nesting season, to investigate fine-scale multiple paternity. All female turtles were tagged with metal rings and microchips for identification. For one of the females (named Hortensia), we were able to detect five nests in the same nesting season (2004)and one more nest in 2006. For each of the nests, 27 hatchlings were randomly selected immediately after their emergence. A biopsy of a rear marginal scute was done and samples were stored at room temperature in 70% ethanol until DNA extraction is donned. This study will address the following questions: (1) Is multiple paternity common in the loggerhead sea turtle population of Boa Vista? (2) Is the frequency of multiple paternity and the contribution of the multiple fathers homogeneous in the consecutive nests of one female through the nesting season? (3) Is there any evidence of sperm storage between subsequent nesting seasons? Little is known of the courtship behavior and breeding structure of sea turtles, nor of the migratory conduct of Caretta caretta males implicated in mating groups.

Poaching and high mortality rates of adults in the Ocean are believed to have caused a rapid and precipitous decline in the number of nesting turtles that might lead to the extinction of this population in 40-60 years. Using 15 years of demographic data for comparison we simulated the effect of only poaching on the population structure and numbers of nesting leatherback turtles at Parque Nacional Marino Las Baulas. Using the demographic data we set a stage-based population structure at 35% recruits, 30% second time nesters, 20% third time nesters, 10% fourth time nesters and 5% fifth time nesters. We simulated and compared (1) the impact of continuous poaching at 90% level on the population, (2) the impact of reducing poaching to lower intensities and the expected extinction times and (3) the effect of eradicating poaching at different stages after it was introduced. Finally, we compared the population simulations to the real trends observed during the last 15 years. Our analysis demonstrated that poaching could be the most important single cause for the fast decline of the population of leatherback turtles that nest at Parque Nacional Marino Las Baulas. This may indicate that factors influencing nesting and reproductive output may have been a major and important factor in rapid stepwise declines of the Pacific leatherback populations along with the additional impact of increased adult mortalities at sea due to fishing practices. The analysis suggests that elimination of poaching should result in noticeable recovery in the population in 20-25 years.

The park was gazetted since July 2000 as the second Marine Park in Tanzania formed under the Marine Parks and Reserves Act number 29 of 1994. It is in the transboundary between two sister countries Tanzania and Mozambique where Ruvuma river forms a boundary. The Park has four main turtle nesting beaches within its coastline. As a strategy to safeguard this endangered animal following the assessment that revealed that turtles in this area are being threatened by deliberate fishing, slaughtering nesting females and poaching eggs from nests, the Park developed a long term turtle conservation programme in October 2003 and its implementation started at the beginning of 2004. Four Community Turtle Officers (CTOs) were selected to work together with MBREMP staff. Both groups received theoretical and practical training on turtle conservation. Since then, there has been progress in turtle conservation activities that included beach patrols, protection of nests, tagging nesting female turtles, recording the number of dead turtles and collecting skin samples for DNA analysis. Raising awareness and the transfer of knowledge on turtle conservation was encouraged to allow a large number of park community members to be informed. The total number of turtle nests in 2006 shows a substantial reduction especially when compared with the two previous years of 2004 and 2005 whereby 34 and 19 nests were recorded, respectively. The former successfully produced 2,122 hatchlings which were all green turtles while the later that had 18 nests of green turtles 1 nest of a hawksbill turtle produced 1302 and 65 hatchlings, respectively. Until mid December of 2006, only 12 green turtle nests with 336 hatchlings were recorded. The possible causes of the reduction in nesting are more than likely multiple, including higher mortality caused by pollution or capture by fishers (either deliberate or accidental by-catch). It is also possible that there is a naturally lower nesting intensity which is part of the natural cycle with relatively higher numbers every 2-3 years. The challenges in implementation lie on absence of trans-boundary conservation and management efforts and violation of regulations by local communities outside the park area. The next side of Mozambique has not been declared as a protected area providing a loop hole to illegal fishermen even from the Tanzanian side to deliberately engage in fishing turtles. It is recommended that the two sister countries should initiate trans-boundary conservation and management efforts that will promote eco-tourism and other economic opportunities leading to poverty alleviation in the communities that traditionally harvest turtles.

In particular, the migratory behaviour between foraging and nesting areas is essential. For three species of sea turtles; the green turtle (Chelonia mydas), the hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) and the loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta), several locations were genetically analysed to reconstruct these behaviours by linking haplotypes from nesting and foraging areas. In this study an extra sampling location, the area around the island of Curacao in the Netherlands Antilles, is considered. 35 tissue samples from the three species were collected from the captive sea turtles from the Curacao Sea Aquarium. Archive studies and interviews were used to find that the green and hawksbill turtles from the aquarium both represent the Curacao foraging population and the loggerhead turtles represent two nests of the Curacao nesting population. For every species a specific region of the mtDNA hypervariable D-loop was sequenced and all individuals were haplotyped according to previously published sequences. Among 15 individuals of green turtles 3 haplotypes were identified, among 9 hawksbill turtles 3 haplotypes and among the two loggerhead nests 2 haplotypes were identified. Genealogies of the haplotypes were estimated and with their geographical distribution two different nesting populations could be distinguished for each species. For the loggerhead turtle, Curasao is, geographically as well as genetically, a transitional area between the two populations. The other two species, both foragers from Curacao, are genetically mixed with individuals originating from the different nesting populations. Findings from this study confirm the existence of genetically mixed foraging populations. In the overall reconstruction of the population structures of the three species, this new location can be added, but for effective conservation more information is necessary and thus more sites need to be studied in the future.

The first two studies were conducted in the laboratory at the University of Georgia, Tifton. In the first study, viable C. caretta eggs (n=3) collected from Sea Island, GA were placed three inches deep in three separate containers and S. invicta were provided access to the containers for one week. In the second study, viable C. caretta eggs (n=9) were placed in three separate containers, each with eggs at depths of 3 inches, 10 inches, and 18 inches. The third study was conducted at Sea Island, GA. C. caretta nests that had S. invicta present within 10 feet (N=27) were split into two treatments: nests treated with Advion (n=13) and untreated nests (n=14.) In the first study, two of the three eggs were completely depredated by S. invicta. In the second study, all eggs were depredated by S. invicta. In the third study, S. invicta were found within 10 feet of all untreated nests and were present in two egg chambers, with no sign of egg depredation. At one treated nest S. invicta were found within ten feet, and absent in the egg chamber. Hatching and emergence data showed no significant difference between the two treatments. The lack of depredation during incubation suggests that vulnerability occurs for C. caretta depredation by S. invicta during hatching and emerging when an S. invicta colony is present within 100 feet of the nest. Management of S. invicta in C. caretta nesting areas should be considered. Further field studies will be conducted next season with a greater sample size to quantify the impacts of S. invicta on C. caretta nests.

One of the greatest contributions of molecular studies has been the capacity to identify individual populations and estimate their contributions to aggregations in marine habitats. In order for accurate estimates to be made, all possible source populations need to be characterized. However, to date several Caribbean habitats and foraging areas remain uncharacterised in terms of mtDNA haplotypes. A mtDNA d-loop analysis of the hawksbill at rookeries and foraging areas in Grenada and the southern Grenadine Islands has revealed new information about the haplotype compositions of those populations that include haplotypes previously unreported from other colonies. Individuals at foraging sites originate in various regional rookeries, some as far as Mexico. Given the fact that there is legal harvest of sea turtles in Grenada, as well as in several other Eastern Caribbean territories, understanding the genetic composition of rookeries and foraging grounds in these islands together with information on the level of impact on individual populations will help to direct and focus future conservation efforts throughout the Wider Caribbean.

Incubation temperature and humidity can strongly influence incubation time, hatching success, hatchling size or sex ratio. Therefore, the depth at which nests are re-buried is a key factor for the success of nest relocation programs. One hundred and eight loggerhead (Caretta caretta) nests were incubated in standard conditions and at different depths in a hatchery in a Boavista beach (Cabo Verde) so as to evaluate the influence of nest depth on incubation. Doomed nests (nests with low chances of survival) were relocated to a hatchery and buried at different depths (35, 40, 45, 50 and 55 cm). Eighteen nests were placed at each of the selected depths and monitored until hatching. Incubation temperature was recorded continuously within nests at every depth. We also placed 18 nests (in the hatchery) at the same depth at which they were laid by the female in situ. Information about incubation time and temperature, hatchling size and the effects of nest depth on these parameters are provided. Incubation duration was strongly affected by nest depth, with mean values that differed up to 5 days between 35 and 50 cm depth nests. In general, deeper nests incubated longer. This could have a direct effect on sex ratio. Percentage of females hatched from each nest was estimated using Mrosovsky et al. (1994) and Marcovaldi (1994) models. Incubation at 35 cm can produce 89.4-97.7% females, whereas incubation at 50 cm could produce around 62.4-64.9% females. Survival in deeper nests (60%) was generally higher than in shallower nests (45%) but differences between mean success values at different depths were not significant. Additionally, nest depth appeared to have an influence on emergence behavior. Deeper nests enhanced a synchronous emergence resulting in a higher number of hatchlings emerging simultaneously. A positive correlation between the number of hatchlings in the largest emergence and nest incubation depth was found (r=0,220; F=4,434; p=0.038; n=89). Thus, more numerous emergences could enhance hatching survival by satiating predators or limiting time available to capture multiple prey.

In the Galapagos Islands, as in many isolated island locations, some introduced species have flourished in the absence of natural predators putting a number of native species at risk of extinction. Four study sites were examined: Quinta Playa (QP) and Bahia Barahona (BB) on Isabela Island, Las Bachas (LB) on Santa Cruz Island, and Las Salinas (LS) on Baltra Island. The selected sites are four of the main turtle nesting beaches in the Islands. Data were collected opportunistically during day and night surveys of nesting beaches. When hatchlings were observed emerging from nests, number of hatchlings and predators present were recorded. Seventeen predator species were identified, including five invasive species: feral pigs, house mice, black rats, feral cats and dogs. A native predator, the lava gull (Larus fuliginosus), an endemic species listed as vulnerable on the IUCN 2006 red list, was also encountered. Observation of the emergence of a total of 3230 hatchlings suggested that approximately 57% of emerging hatchlings suffer predation before reaching the sea. Approximately 93% of this predation was carried out by native species, confirming the importance of green turtles in the diet of native fauna. The remaining 7% of beach predation was carried out by feral pigs and cats, with the former particularly affecting study site QP. While the current impact of introduced species on hatchling survival appears to be low, the importance of continued monitoring is stressed to advise future management plans of introduced species in each green turtle nesting site. Expansion of monitoring to other nesting sites in the Galapagos is also recommended to assess the problem of predation by introduced species throughout the archipelago.

Tourism to the area, in which turtle tours play a vital role, now draws over 80,000 tourists a year and generates an estimated six million dollars in gross revenues (Harrison et al. 2004; Troeng and Drews 2004). The mantra 'a turtle is worth more alive than dead' is often used to suggest that local appreciation for turtle tourism-generated revenues in Tortuguero (and other places) has led to local support for turtle conservation efforts, and for the end of extractive uses of turtles. Using qualitative data derived from in-depth interviews with local residents and on-site observations during 7 months of fieldwork in Tortuguero during 2003 and 2004, this paper interrogates the extent to this has occurred in Tortuguero. When discussing their perceptions of turtle conservation and turtle-based tourism in the village, local respondents reveal complex and sometimes ambiguous and/or conflicting views of tourism, conservation, and the direct consumption of turtle products. Results show that local people simultaneously: 1) appreciate increased revenues and the 'easier lifestyle' brought to the village by ecotourism development; 2) recognize the role and importance of turtles in the new economy; and 3) are critical of conservation in practice in Tortuguero. Furthermore, some local respondents continue to want to use turtle meat and eggs as food. Based on these results, we describe an emerging 'made in Tortuguero super(1) conservation narrative that deviates from Western conceptions of turtle conservation and ecotourism in that it affords legitimacy to/appreciation for both ecotourism and the direct consumption of turtle products (e.g. meat; eggs), simultaneously. The existence of this local conservation counter-narrative, or adapted turtle-related culture, represents a challenge to current assumptions about the power of ecotourism to act as an incentive for local support of non-extractive policies.

The olive ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) is known to currently nest in arribadas on at least 10 beaches worldwide: Gahirmatha, the Devi River Mouth, and Rushikulya (India); La Escobilla and Morro Ayuta (Mexico); La Flor and Chacocente (Nicaragua); Nancite and Ostional (Costa Rica); and Isla de Canas (Panama). This study reviewed existing information on nesting activities and trends, monitoring efforts, legal protection, major threats, and local community use (direct and indirect) of olive ridley sea turtles at known arribada beaches. Nesting is increasing at Ostional beach and stable at Escobilla beach; trends at the other beaches are either inconclusive or indicate that numbers of nesting females are declining. Local inhabitants at Ostional, Isla de Canas, La Flor, and Chacocente utilize sea turtle eggs under some sort of controlled harvest. Comparative studies at the different beaches are needed with standardized monitoring methods to better determine nesting trends. Current harvesting procedures at both La Flor and Chacocente should be reevaluated and modified, as current levels of egg harvesting and poaching are not sustainable.

Monitoring and conservation programs in this region are focused primarily to the Baja California Peninsula and northern Mexican Pacific (both coasts identified in the States of Baja California Sur and Sonora) to date. We begun the first sea turtle prospective surveys in bays and lagoons located in northern Sinaloa during 2004. Our study sites are found in the insular complex of San Ignacio-Navachiste-Macapule, Municipality of Guasave, Mexico (25 15'; 25 35' N and 108 30'; 109 03' W). This converging insular complex is formed by 25 islands protected under the Flora and Fauna Protection Area "Islas del Golfo de California". Our project has different objectives including to: a) determine sea turtle species diversity b) determine temporal and distributional patterns of sea turtles, c) obtain basic biological parameters of sea turtles (size, weight, length, sex), d) Identify primary threats to sea turtles due to anthropogenic change, and e) build the basis for an integral conservation program including full participation of the local communities. During summer 2005, we initiated suirveys and patrolled the coastal permiter of the island complex supported by volunteer fishermen and students. To date, we have documented 35 live and dead sea turtle strandings. The preliminary results confirm the presence of three species of sea turtles: Olivey ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea, 83%), black turtle Chelonia mydas agasizzi, 14%), and hawksbill turtle, Eretmochelys imbricada, 3%). We are documenting for the first time the presence of juvenile olive ridley turtles in our monitoring sites. The first turtle had a curved carapace length (CCL) of 12.9 cm. During our survey efforts we also rescued a juvenile olive ridley (21 cm CCL and 1.165 kg) that was found tangled in synthetic marine debris used by the local shrimp and bone fish fisheries. This sea turtle presented severe, deep lacerations of both front flippers, with dehydration and anemia. The sea turtle was brought into captivity for four months for rehabilitation purposes prior to release to its natural habitat. We like to emphasize that incidental and illegal fisheries are recognized as the most severe threats for local sea turtle populations both resident and migratory at the monitoring site. These monitoring and conservation efforts need to be reinforced with an effective management plan complemenitng the conservation programs developed in southern Sinaloa, where the primary nesting sites for sea turtles are found in northeastern Mexico.

In addition to using standardized research and conservation methods, we participate in education and training with local communities. As a result of these efforts, we recorded 2,211 nesting attempts during the 2005 nesting season, including 2,188 nesting attempts by the olive ridley and 23 nesting attempts by the Pacific green. The average curved carapace length and crawl width (olive ridley: length = 66.5 cm plus or minus 3.7, width = 74.5 cm plus or minus 10.5; Pacific green: length = 94.6 cm plus or minus 10.5, width = 89.5 cm plus or minus 11.1) indicate that these are mature populations. The majority of nesting activity took place between 20:00 and 02:00 hours. The olive ridley and Pacific green laid 97.0 ( plus or minus 18.2) and 80.5 ( plus or minus 27.5) eggs respectively. Of 2,212 emergences of adult turtles onto the beach, 1,894 (86%) were successful nesting attempts and 318 (14%) were false crawls. To contribute to the recovery of turtle populations, we relocated 223 nests from unfavourable sites to a different part of the beach and placed 263 nests inside protected hatcheries. 1,408 nests were left in situ after nesting measurements were taken, and 620 of these nests (44%) were depredated. Of these 620 depredated nests, 82.9% were eaten by wild animals (raccoons and coatis), 12.9% were poached by humans, and the remaining 4.2% of cases were unknown. Poaching was less common than in previous years, although natural predation may be an increasing threat to sea turtles in this region. It is possible that unusually high predation rates by coatis may be influenced by the hunting out of large cats that control coati populations. Hatcheries successfully increased hatching rate by reducing predation and poaching. Of the 257 nests and 22,942 eggs placed in protected hatcheries, 19,028 hatchlings emerged. In the hatchery, there was 90.6% hatching success and 89.4% emergence success, compared with 93.5% hatching success and 92.2% emergence success on the beach. The temperature range of nests in the hatchery varied from 23 to 35 degree C, with an average of 29 degree C ( plus or minus 0.76). On the beach, nest temperatures ranged from 23.1 to 32.8 degree C, with an average of 27.7 degree C ( plus or minus 1.2). In conclusion, the results indicate that the beaches monitored in this project have one of the highest sea turtle nesting rates on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica (excluding Nancite and Ostional). Ongoing monitoring in coming years will establish whether these populations are declining or increasing. Size measurements and tagging of adults will describe population dynamics and age structure. Long-term efforts in conservation, education, and scientific investigation will be essential for understanding, protecting and managing these turtle populations.

This flexible approach can be valuable when tackling fundamental socioeconomic factors affecting conservation efforts and can compensate for limited scientific data. Moheli, one of the three islands of the Union of the Comoros is among the top ten green turtle (Chelonia mydas) nesting sites in the world with over 5000 females nesting annually. There is also evidence that the island's water serve as juvenile habitat for green and hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata). However, effective turtle conservation is adversely affected by existing ecological, cultural, socioeconomic and political conditions, and poaching is a serious problem. C3-C3-Comores has initiated an environmental awareness program in Hoani, a village in the North West of Moheli and site of a principal nesting beach, neglected by previous conservation efforts on the island. Three voluntary community ecoguards have been trained to patrol beaches, participate in turtle monitoring and promote further awareness-raising. Four ecoguides were also trained to provide turtle-watching tours to encourage community conservation of natural resources through increased income from ecotourism. The results of the initial training were overwhelming, and turtle poachers were caught and convicted within weeks; this led to direct financial benefits for the community, who received a percentage of the fines. A regional conservation centre has now been established in Hoani, to provide information to local communities and tourists, and for the sale of artisanal crafts and souvenirs. C3-Comores has also extended the program to neighboring villages and has implemented a sustainable low-cost community turtle monitoring strategy for the whole island, which will be entirely managed by local communities in the future. This study has shown that motivated local communities can effectively monitor and manage sea turtle populations. However, the long-term sustainability and development of such programs must inevitably depend on the generation of alternative income to maintain community motivation.

Because of this wide distribution and the large number of conspecifics that participate in mass nesting events, it is very difficult to generate a preliminary picture of the global abundance of this species. However, given that a large proportion of the adult population is thought to participate in discrete mass nesting events at well known beaches, it is possible to focus census efforts on this relatively accessible fragment of the life cycle of these turtles. The objective of this paper is to report estimates of mass nesting olive ridley numbers of most major arribada beaches around the world. Specifically, we report on numbers of nesting turtles on Nancite and Ostional Beaches, Costa Rica, and La Escobilla, Mexico. Efforts are underway to collect data also at Gahirmatha and Rushikulya, India. Our approach is to apply the same methodology (strip-transect in time or instantaneous count procedure) at every beach so as to generate robust, reliable and directly comparable estimates. Preliminary results confirm that the Nancite Beach nesting population has undergone a crash relative to nesting levels in the 80's and the robustness of the Ostional assemblage. It is expected that, if applied consistently over the years at every major arribada beach, conservationists and managers will be able to use arribada estimates as a relative index of health of every major olive ridley assemblage.

The goal is to reduce poaching and bycatch of endangered sea turtles. Preliminary results indicate positive changes in partner communities, increased numbers of sea turtles on nesting beaches and foraging grounds, and an emerging "sea ethic." Over the past decade we have developed this approach to sea turtle conservation in the Californias (U.S. and Mexico) through the integration of three strategies: 1) facilitate the growth of a diverse international NETWORK of fishermen, students, teachers, activists, researchers, funders, managers, indigenous community members and other coastal citizens. 2) draw on these relationships to understand threats, generate new KNOWLEDGE and develop practical solutions. 3) empower local leaders to facilitate COMMUNICATION and sharing of these solutions and knowledge through an array of resonant media. The novelty, simplicity and effectiveness of our methodology is based on in an integrated, innovative approach informed by regular evaluation and monitoring. We have adapted and exported the conservation mosaic model to community-based projects focused on leatherback turtle conservation in Indonesia and shark conservation in the eastern Pacific, among other projects. However, the model should prove useful across the range of conservation and social change issues. (This paper is Part one of a 4-part series of papers/posters...the other three parts highlight in detail each of the three components of the conservation mosaic model and provide detailed case studies related to the work of the Grupo Tortuguero in the ETP).

Hawksbills nest in some 60 of the 108 countries in whose waters they occur. Historic and recent published accounts indicate extensive declines in all major ocean basins over the last 100 years due to overexploitation of breeding animals and eggs at nesting beaches and juveniles and adults in foraging areas. Trade in tortoiseshell was the driving force behind much of this take. Volume of international trade has declined significantly in the last 10-15 years; but several major reviews on international trade produced in the past five years indicate that it remains active and menacing, especially in southeast Asia and the Americas. Destruction of nesting habitat, especially for tourism, is a tremendous problem for this most tropical sea turtle. Loss of coral reef foraging habitat and beach erosion due to climate change are other major concerns, as are incidental capture in fisheries and marine pollution. The analysis, based on quantitative estimates of rates of population change over time, uses recent data obtained from researchers around the world as well as older information. The contribution of historically large but now depleted populations was considered using quantitative data, old naturalist's records, and historic egg collection and tortoise shell trade statistics. While researchers may never fully know the extent of hawksbill declines during the last century, old records are invaluable. In an exhaustive review of the Caribbean, McClenachan et al (2006) estimate that 20% of historic nesting sites have been lost entirely, and 50% of the remaining nesting sites have been reduced to dangerously low levels that threaten the species with ecological extinction. Much of the global decline occurred in the 20th century, driven by intense international trade that in 1970 involved 46 importing and exporting countries. Most shell went to Japan which imported shell from an estimated 650,000 hawksbills during 1970-1992. Exploitation lessened in the late 1970s and during the 1980s as CITES came into effect globally. In 1993, Japan banned all imports; but the industry's infrastructure remains intact, and Japanese domestic sales continue today. Since publication of the last assessment for IUCN (Meylan and Donnelly, 1999), population decline has continued at many sites including some of the world's most important remaining rookeries-i.e., eastern Mexico, NE Australia, Indonesia, and Seychelles. With protection, however, some small or remnant populations have stabilized, and a few are increasing. Increases are particularly apparent at certain protected islands in the Caribbean and Indian Ocean. Unfortunately, protected nesting sites represent a minority of total nesting habitat currently used by hawksbills. Public awareness is at an all time high and international and regional agreements are helping to address the issues at government level; but effective enforcement on the ground is still lacking at many sites.

Its population has drastically and rapidly diminished in the Pacific as well as in Malaysia. According to researchers, this fact is likely to be attributed to human activities, mainly through egg collection and incidental bycatch. This situation seems to remain stable in the Atlantic Ocean, despite recent studies mentioning a possible but low decrease in populations nesting along the Caribbean coast between Nicaragua and Panama. A discrete stochastic model, age-class and sex structured, was used to simulate population dynamics linked to the females nesting at Tortuguero, Costa Rica, where the leatherback presence is both economically and culturally important. This model takes only this rookery into account and includes demographic and environmental stochasticity. Demographic parameters were estimated from the Tortuguero database but were also sourced from other works. The model is interactive and, with the Stella simulation software, revealed where the Tortuguero rookery was exposed to various bycatch scenarios. Due to the current levels of human egg collection and dog predation, viability of the Tortuguero population could be at risk even when exposed to low bycatch. Knowing the importance of fishery activities in the Atlantic, as well as leatherback migratory and feeding habits, at least low bycatch is likely to be feared. Global warming effects were also simulated, featuring adverse impacts. However, it is hoped that leatherbacks will be able to adapt to a changing environment. Leatherback populations must be carefully monitored in order to appreciate evolution in terms of abundance. Investigation must continue to provide better insight regarding leatherback migratory routes and be accompanied with suitable mitigation measures at a global scale.

AN - 20420087; 9094396 AB - It is common practice following beach nourishment projects to till the newly formed platform in order to decrease its compactness and to make it more amiable to the general public and sea turtle nesting. However, tilling can negatively impact nesting ecology, depending primarily on the timing of its completeness and on sand water content. Anna Maria Island, a small barrier island on the southwest coast of Florida, was renourished and tilled during the 2002/03 and 2005/06 sea turtle nesting seasons. The difference between the outcomes of these two beach nourishment projects was very extreme. The early season had a disastrous nesting and hatching success while the most recent was very successful. Significant data were collected from these two seasons regarding the impact of beach tilling and on the importance of certain sand physical properties. We report on lessons learned and offer advice to sea turtle biologists facing future similar beach tilling projects. The low nesting and hatching success recorded after the 2002/03 beach nourishment was attributed to two main reasons: 1) a short settling time between beach tilling and the start of nesting season; 2) a very wet summer. The newly tilled sand was extremely soft and did not allow the rainfall to drain very well. This led to the formation of swales and quicksand-like areas throughout the beach. All nests located in these regions flooded and drowned. During the most recent nesting season, we expected a similar outcome. However, because of lessons learned in the past, we monitored specific beach sand parameters that we suspected had contributed to the disastrous outcome of the early season. These physical properties were sand compactness, sand moisture content and water table level. Data were collected weekly, and the monitoring plan encompassed the entire nesting beach. The nesting and hatching success resulting from the 2005/06 beach renourishment project was extremely high. We attribute this primarily to a dry summer and to our increased knowledge of the interactions between the sand physical properties of our beach. This knowledge enabled us to predict the incubation success of specific beach sections and be more selective when relocating nests. Because of our success during this past nesting season, we must emphasize the importance for sea turtle biologists to know how different sand properties interact in their beach. This knowledge is paramount for advising State managers and beach nourishment contractors on the efficacy of beach tilling.

How long and when? AN - 20420038; 9094380 AB - Nesting beach studies continue to be the lynch pin of sea turtle population assessment and trend analysis. They are important socially and politically as well, being visible and accessible points of entry for community and stakeholder involvement. Classical techniques that assume independence of observation are not appropriate for such scenarios and can lead to biased estimates. Mixed models (incorporating fixed and random effects) are useful for modeling observations more akin to real world situations where data are noisy, unbalanced and composed of multiple error terms. We examine the potential of mixed models to provide precision and statistical power comparisons of survey protocols with differing temporal coverage. Knowing the temporal variability in beach attendance is crucial for calculating power and making design decisions. We used mixed models to calculate the size of these components of variability (e.g. day to day, year to year and a year-day interaction) and evaluate how changes to the sampling design affect the ability to detect trends in population numbers. We used data from 17 years of saturation tagging of hawksbills (Eretmochelys imbricata) at Pasture Bay, Long Island Antigua to test the statistical power of monitoring designs involving shorter survey periods than the current design of 155 nights each year. There has been virtually no use of mixed models in sea turtle research. Given their appropriateness for the kinds of data generated in recovery and conservation planning for sea turtles, mixed models provide a novel approach to answering sea turtle conservation and management questions.

Leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) migrate to nest on St. Croix while green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) and hawksbill sea turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) are observed year round. Nesting behaviors of all three species have been studied in several locations around St. Croix. However, little has been done to assess the foraging population of sea turtles around the territory. The purpose of this study was to assess the foraging population of green sea turtles around the islands of St. Croix and St. Thomas. The study was also designed to characterize the health and habitat of green sea turtles through a survey of their abundance, distribution, and physical condition. Additionally, because fibropapilloma has been recently detected on turtles in the Caribbean, the presence of the virus on sampled turtles was also documented. Ten sites were sampled around the island of St. Croix and three on the island of St. Thomas. The following observations were made: 1) the presence of external flipper tags, 2) curved and straight carapace length and width, 3) straight plastron length and width, 4) damage to the carapace, 5) other injuries, entanglements, and/or scars, 6) carapace fouling, and 8) the presence of epithelial fibropapilloma lesions. A digital photograph log was created for each turtle and used to later quantify condition. No green turtles were caught around the island of St. Croix during the summer or winter of 2005. Thirteen green turtles were caught around St. Thomas during the summer and 28 during the winter. More turtles were caught at Brewers Bay during both sampling periods. The juvenile/adult ratio was 8:5 during the summer and 20:8 during the winter. In the summer, all nine turtles caught at Brewers Bay had some degree of carapace damage and one had an abnormal scute pattern. One of the three turtles caught at Buck Island in June had carapace damage and the one turtle caught at Water bay did not have any damage to its carapace. In the winter, twelve of the 14 turtles caught at Brewers bay had carapace damage and three turtles had abnormal scute patterns. One turtle had only three flippers and one had a hook lodged in its mouth. One of the four turtles caught at Buck Island and three of the ten turtle caught Water bay had carapace damage. One turtle caught at Water bay in December had algal growth on 31.9% of its carapace. No turtle caught throughout the study had any visible fibropapilloma lesions. Net avoidance was the most important factor in the poor capture rate around St. Croix. Green turtles around St. Thomas reacted passively to net capture, which is most likely because net fishing is more popular on St. Croix. While this study has begun to answer some questions about foraging green turtles, it has asked some others. In the future, more in-water work will be needed to further understand how sea turtles utilize foraging areas.

We made 30 capture-recapture events with males during mating and courtship in front of Colola waters with outboard boat. Using a capture-recapture Shnabel method we estimated 565 males of black sea turtle (+-255-1200). With this information we estimate too, the sex ratio in reproductive population and the operative sex ratio, we estimate also the aggregation index of males in front of Colola beach using the morisita method. This information suggests that the male population have a gregarious behaviour in the west side of the beach where it is more common to observe courtship and mating activity of black turtle in the first 100 m in front of Colola beach.

Temperature-dependent sex determination has the potential of producing biased sex ratios. Therefore, the sex ratios produced from TSD are of ecological and conservational interest, as knowledge on the population's sex-ratios is essential for wild populations' management and conservation. However, sea turtles exhibit no sexual dimorphism up to sub-adult or adult age classes. Therefore, sex determination needs to be addressed using other techniques, such as laparoscopy, histology of the gonad or steroid hormones assessment. In the current study we present preliminary data on Madeira Archipelago sea turtle population sex-ratio using the three methods mentioned above. During the summers of 2004, 2005 and 2006 the sea turtle population was sampled in the waters off Madeira Island (Portugal) and brought in to the laboratory. Laparoscopies were performed in order to determine each animal's sex, as well as to get a biopsy sample of the gonad for histological sex assignment. Blood samples were also collected for comparison with steroid hormone levels, and biometry data collected. Histological processing of the 70 biopsy samples collected up to now is currently under way, as well as the radioimunassay for testosterone and estradiol assessment. Results obtained up to now identified both males and females, but females appear to predominate. The accuracy of the three methods will be compared and the sex ratio obtained for this juvenile pelagic population will be presented and correlated with age classes and several of the biometrical parameters taken. The sex-ratio will also be compared with the sex ratios known for the hatchling source population for this population, as well as with the corresponding adult population in the eastern United States nesting beaches. This study aims to contribute to a better knowledge of this population's structure, and a helpful tool for management and conservation policies.

Conservation of sea turtles and the actions developed for that purpose represent the longest existing program to protect endangered species in Guatemala. In 1971 the government of Guatemala promoted two major actions to protect sea turtles: sea turtle egg incubation and liberation of new born sea turtles to the sea. For the last 34 years both activities have been developed by the government, non governmental organizations and individual persons. In 2002 specific regulations were enacted by the National Advisory Committee of Protected Areas in Guatemala (CONAP in Spanish), under regulations CONAP No. ALC 056/2002. These regulations were later ratified in 2004. New regulations and the results of their initial implementation are described in the following bullets: Collection of sea turtle eggs according to established conservation quota that at the present time represents a 20% of a single nest. This regulation is applied by 10% of the turtle farms, the other 90% are working with 12 eggs per nest. Incubation of sea turtle eggs and liberation of new born sea turtles to the sea. From 2002 to 2005 a total of 166, 117 eggs were incubated. Control activities to curtail poaching and illegal trade of sea turtles and its eggs. A total of 69 monitoring and control activities were conducted between 2002 and 2005 and 3,582 eggs were confiscated. Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) are mandatory on shrimp boats to reduce the number of accidental deaths of sea turtles. From 2002 to 2005 a total of 21 inspections were conducted in 106 boats, and only four reported proper use of the regulations. Collection and analysis of data from all sea turtle conservation farms during each nesting season. Reports are available for the years 1999 to 2005.

To date, over 80 responders, from non-profit organizations as well as local, state, and federal agencies, have been trained as members of the MASTDN. During the 2005 and 2006 seasons, 24 cases of entangled sea turtles were confirmed, including 6 carcasses. Initial reports came from recreational boaters (15), commercial fishermen (4), government agencies (3), and research/conservation groups (2). Entanglement cases generally involved leatherbacks with multiple wraps of the fore flippers and/or the neck. All of the confirmed and documented cases were entangled in braided rope from fixed pot fisheries, mooring lines, or unknown sources. Most of the disentanglement operations made use of resources from multiple agencies, including staff, communications and/or vessels. Of 19 on-water responses conducted by MASTDN members, the success rate of disentanglement was 100% in the 7 cases where a vessel stood-by the entangled animal until the responders arrived. If the vessel was unable to stand-by, or reported the entanglement after leaving the scene, responders were often unable to re-locate the animal and the success rate fell to 33%. While the majority of cases involved animals apparently anchored by their entanglements, notable exceptions were documented and reinforce the importance of standing-by entangled animals. Such an exception involved an entangled leatherback that was disentangled from single pot gear more than fourteen miles from the original report location the previous day. Positive identification was achieved through photos taken during the initial report and during the disentanglement operation. Continued outreach and training by the MASTDN will focus on personnel safety and the importance of standing by entangled animals.

In order to obtain a more complete evaluation of the status and trends of the state's sea turtle populations, we explored the feasibility of developing a statewide, in-water index monitoring network. We began by inventorying all marine turtle in-water research that is ongoing or has already taken place in Florida. We developed an initial list of 21 active and 15 inactive projects and then used surveys, interviews, and literature reviews to obtain additional information on each project. The vast majority of projects (15 active, 9 inactive) were conducted on the east coast of the state, mainly in inshore lagoons or over nearshore hardbottom reefs. Research on the west coast and Panhandle region was found to be sporadic. Statewide, green turtles and loggerheads, especially of the juvenile and subadult life stages, made up the majority of captures and sightings. Kemp's ridleys were commonly captured in west coast studies, but data on hawksbili and leatherback aggregations were sparse. On the basis of habitat distributions and known occurrences of marine turtles, we identified 11 specific geographic gap areas that warrant study. We also recommended 12 existing in-water projects for inclusion in a proposed index monitoring network. Participation in this program would require collection of catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) data, as well as a standard set of measurements, including morphometrics and health assessment. The network is envisioned as a collaborative effort among in-water researchers and a coordinating entity, possibly FWC. To develop a broader picture of sea turtle distributions in the state beyond those at in-water project sites, we compiled a list of additional projects and databases that provide information on sea turtles in Florida waters. These include aerial surveys, relocation trawling, stranding networks, fisheries bycatch reporting, dredge operations, and aerial surveys for other species. We also compiled a list of satellite telemetry projects that involve tracking sea turtles either from Florida or into Florida from outside the state. The end result of this endeavor is a comprehensive database, GIS maps, and a narrative document describing the in-water marine turtle research that has occurred in Florida.

The MRFSS was initiated in 1979 to estimate the impact of recreational fishing on marine resources along the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts of the USA. Utilizing interviews of anglers who have just completed a fishing trip, the MRFSS acquires catch and demographic data. The anglers are asked the type of fishing conducted (charter/headboat, private/rental boat or from shore [pier, beaches, banks]), the number of hours fished, and in which body of water most of their fishing activity was conducted. Since 1990, individuals fishing in North Carolina marine waters were asked if they had observed a sea turtle on their fishing trip. Anglers were not asked to tally nor identify the turtles sighted, but simply to indicate the presence or absence of sea turtles during a trip. From 1990 to 2004, over 265,000 anglers were queried for a total of 1,233,438 hours of fishing effort. Of these anglers, about 4% reported seeing a live turtle while fishing. Although the trend is not significant, results indicated an increase in sightings of sea turtles by anglers from 1990-2004. Turtles were sighted consistently in Bogue Sound, Cape Fear River, Core Sound, New River, Newport River, Pamlico Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. Turtles were sighted sporadically in Albemarle Sound, Lockwood Folly River, Topsail Sound, North River, and Roanoke Sound. Turtles were sighted year-round in the Atlantic Ocean but were absent from other bodies of water in the winter. The MRFSS is limited in that it does not provide number, species, or size composition of turtles sighted. Furthermore, effort varies depending upon time of year anglers are queried and location of fishing activity. Nevertheless, MRFSS data can still be used to corroborate or supplement data obtained from other surveys.

In Nigeria and Cameroon over 252 vessels (representing 86% of the licensed industrial vessels) catch marine shrimps which are exported to earn foreign currency worth about US $65 million annually. Demersal shrimp trawling generates large quantity of by-catch (landed and discarded/trash fish) at a ratio of 1:8 to 1:19 of shrimps to bycatch. In addition the endangered turtles are captured as incidental catch to shrimps because they (shrimps, fish and turtles) stay in close proximity to each other within the environment especially in relatively shallow waters below 50 m depth. The reduction of incidental catch of sea turtles and juvenile fish in shrimp trawling are therefore regarded as priority issues in the total efforts to conserve the resources and develop more responsible and sustainable fisheries. In 1996 Turtle Excluder Device (TED) became a precondition and regulatory requirement for export of shrimps to US markets. In September 2006 a 3-man team of U.S. experts conducted a re-certification exercise and inspection of TEDs' design, operation and monitoring and control in Nigeria. There was a very high degree of compliance by the operators in the industry as well as other stakeholders. Experimental fishing trials have been carried out with three types of By-catch Reduction Devices (BRD) on board commercial vessels in the coastal waters off Lagos Nigeria and Douala Cameroon in the Gulf of Guinea. The trials were carried out under a Global Environmental Facility (GEF)/United Nations Environmental Programmes (UNEP)/Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) sponsored shrimp fisheries project. Trawl nets fitted with either square mesh codend, square mesh window or 90 degree turned/gentle codend have been observed to be cost effective and environmentally friendly options to mitigate the problem of juvenile and immature fish by-catch in shrimp trawling as compared to diamond mesh codend. The current developmental efforts involve pragmatic and holistic approaches including flume tank tests and sea trials in order to optimize the complementary roles of installing TED and BRD in the same trawl net. Recommendations are proffered for improvement in geometrical configuration and TED performance in order to minimize shrimp loss, optimize operational efficiency and thereby facilitate better compliance by the industrial fishermen.

The most important nesting sites monitored since 2000 during the reproductive season in the Paria Peninsula are Cipara Beach (62 degree 42'W, 10 degree 45'N) and Querepare Beach (62 degree 52'W, 10 degree 42'N), where the key species is the leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) and there are few turtles of other three species, mainly the loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta). Female leatherback turtles were tagged with metal and PIT tags, whereas the Cheloniidae species only received metal tags. Curved carapace measurements (CL and CW), general condition, presence of tag scars, date and time of the observations, including the translocation of nests to a protected hatchery are registered on standard data sheets. The translocation of nests is needed to protect them from poaching. Daily censuses were made to estimate the total number of reproductive events. The field work was conducted between March 15th and August 31st. In 2006, for the first time since 2000, the number of one hundred females between both beaches was exceeded: a total of 128 leatherback females were tagged. Recaptures were observed again, as well as movement of females between Cipara and Querepare Beaches plus other nesting areas in the northern and southern Paria Peninsula and Trinidad. Over 12,000 leatherback turtle hatchlings were released, an important increase in comparison with the previous record of more than 10,000 hatchlings. It must be noted that storm activity was reduced with respect to last year. Field project activities were conducted under scientific permits from the Environmental Ministry (MINAMB). The biological information indicates that there are no other sea turtle nesting populations of this size on mainland Venezuela. If more data would be available from the projects carried out on Margarita and Coche Islands, it would be possible to determine whether Cipara and Querepare are the most important leatherback turtle nesting beaches in Venezuela. To accomplish the goals of public awareness and training of local communities for a better engagement toward sea turtle protection, stronger efforts were made in the area. Activities included the first Workshop of Sea Turtles and Ecotourism held in Querepare Beach with the assistance of an international guest from Nature Seekers Incorporated (Trinidad). Over 20 lectures were made in public and private elementary schools and for military personnel. A Workshop on sea turtles for teachers of the Arismendi Municipality area was held to validate an educative guide about sea turtles.

Individual turtles have been hand-captured at depth using SCUBA, retained on a vessel for the collection of morphometric data, tag placement, photographs, tissue sampling for DNA analysis, and blood sampling for gender determination. A reference library of local hawksbill photographs has been developed to document newly tagged individuals, and the effectiveness of photographic identification is being assessed. Feeding behavior has been documented using underwater digital videography, and food samples identified. Divers aboard local dive charters report sightings when tagged turtles are encountered. To date, 90 hawksbills have been captured and an additional 7 re-captured in 83 dive days (typically 2 - tanks). This aggregation consists of primarily juveniles and sub-adults, ranging from 39.5 - 82.3 cm (mean 58.2 cm) straight carapace length. Turtles have been captured within several miles of shore at depths ranging from 1.5 m - 24.4 m (mean 18.8 m). A total of 80 re-sightings have been confirmed for 35 tagged turtles, with a maximum of 9 sightings of one individual over a 833 day period. Of seven re-captures, straight carapace length increased by an average of 2.2 cm/yr. Serum testosterone analyses have revealed a 2.5:1 female:male sex ratio. Location data indicate strong site-fidelity and close association with both natural and artificial coral reef structures. Untagged turtles continue to be reported regularly within the survey area. Satellite telemetry will be tested within the next few months. Preliminary mtDNA sequence data have identified six Caribbean haplotypes represented in this population.

AN - 20419632; 9094189 AB - Given that conservation actions are costly and society has limited resources to devote to sea turtle recovery, an important question is which actions can deliver the greatest impact for the lowest cost. An approach that can shed light on this question is cost-effectiveness, which uses a biological metric to measure the benefits of conservation actions, and an economic one to measure costs. The cost-effectiveness approach prioritizes those actions that have the greatest biological impact for a given level of economic cost. We use a matrix model framework to simulate changes in the population growth rate (lamda) from various Pacific leatherback conservation actions (compared to a baseline with no action). The "bang for the buck" of conservation actions is measured as the ratio of the biological impact (measured by a change in lamda) to the economic cost of the action. We consider various Pacific leatherback conservation actions, including nest protection in the Western Pacific, time-area fishery closures in California, and longline gear innovation. Cost estimates for the conservation actions were derived through field visits and interviews and fishery data. For each action, we generate a long-term (>15 years) population time-series and calculate the present value of conservation costs over the same period. We find that incorporating costs into the decision model prioritizes different conservation actions than if we considered biological impacts alone, and that a given rate of population growth can be achieved at a lower cost. Using cost information in conservation decisions thus has the potential to improve our performance and free up resources for other important conservation priorities.

The ten tracked turtles spent most of the time within a single basin (the Algerian basin), with only short excursions to the Balearic Sea. Other adjoining basins (the Alboran Sea, the Gulf of Lions and the Tyrrhenian Sea) were completely avoided, despite long average tracking (120.9 plus or minus 67.0 days). The distribution pattern of the turtles tracked matched well that of the recently entered Atlantic water, that fills only the Alboran Sea and the Algerian basin. Avoidance of the Alboran Sea by turtles was because the specimens approaching it were taken by the Algerian current and forced to drift eastward. In fact, the comparison of the turtle tracks with the satellite images revealed that only 7.9% (range: 0-20.9%) of the fixes were associated with the Algerian current, but 28.3% (range: 0-60.0%) of the maximum longitudinal displacement of each turtle occurred while in the Algerian current. Conversely, only 1.6% (range: 0-2.1%) of the fixes were associated with mesoscale eddies and they did not generate any net latitudinal or longitudinal displacement of the turtles. Furthermore, only simulation experiments incorporating the westward drift generated by the Algerian current and the existence of a barrier to dispersal between the Algerian basin and the Balearic Sea reproduced the dispersal pattern of the tracked turtles. However, the pattern of surface currents does not explain the prevailing southward bearing of the turtles after being released and the avoidance of salty areas located north to latitude 41 degree N, even in summer. Therefore, we conclude that the distribution of loggerhead sea turtles in the western Mediterranean is largely determined by the pattern of surface circulation, although mesoscales eddies play no role in the process, and that habitat selection may also be relevant as turtles avoided areas filled with high salinity water.

A total of 3,821 loggerheads stranded between 1980 and September 2006. An analysis of the size frequencies of stranded turtles indicates that the percentage of adults (>90 cm) from 1980 to 1989 was about 15%, but increased to about 30% after 1990 when use of Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) in the shrimp trawling fleet became mandatory. This suggests that larger turtles continued to be more vulnerable to becoming trapped in shrimp trawls after TEDs were required because exit openings were relatively small. The percentages of stranded adult loggerheads have now decreased consistently in recent years to 10% in 2005 and 2006. This is concurrent with the requirement of leatherback-sized TEDs that more successfully release adult loggerheads. Correspondingly, the overall mean carapace length of beach-stranded turtles declined from 78.9 cm in 2001 to 72.1 cm in 2006. Between 2000-2003, an in-water monitoring survey was conducted to collect sea turtles with thirty-minute trawl tows during late spring and summer. Eight hundred and twenty-six loggerheads were collected in 2,621 sampling events. Sampling was conducted in the Atlantic Ocean between depths of 4.6 and 12.2 m from Georgetown, SC to St. Augustine, FL. In sampling off South Carolina, 285 loggerheads were captured in the in-water study in 1,244 sampling events. Various morphometric and weight measurements were taken in addition to blood samples that were used for sex determination using radioimmunoassay techniques. Historical, limited in-water data on sea turtles are also available from an observer study on shrimp trawlers in 1976 and 1977 and the SEAMAP nearshore monitoring project (1989-2005). Length frequency data from the 2000-2003 in-water study yielded a single mode (70-79 cm). However, length frequency data for stranded turtles (2000-2003) were bimodal, with a major mode at the same size class as noted for the in-water survey (70-79 cm), and a second smaller mode at 100-109 cm. The other historical in-water data also indicate a unimodal distribution of size frequencies although the mode was smaller (60-69 cm). The bimodal distribution in stranded turtles further supports the conclusion that larger turtles were more at risk than juveniles both before and after TEDs were required in 1990. The results of this analysis suggest that use of size frequencies obtained from strandings data are probably not adequate for assessing the true size distribution of the local population if a fishery or other activity may be causing disproportionately higher mortality rates in certain size classes.

This study also sought to estimate the impact of Wayuu activities on the annual number of dead turtles observed in the Venezuelan gulf and the Straits of Maracaibo. The dietary importance of sea turtles to the Wayuu (Guajiros) was emphasized by a man of the Water Guajiros, who considered turtle the "most exquisite food in their diet". For Water Guajiros, a community poorer than their upland neighbors: the Earth Guajiros, there's an earth-water analogy between a rich Wayuu's (Earth Guajiro) cattle and sea turtles, for both feed upon grasses - the cattle on the earth and the turtle in the sea. The cattle lives in the mountains on land and the turtle in the mountains under the sea (reefs). In this way they reduce the economic differences between the two types of animals. Thus, turtles are simply available resources similar to cattle. Nevertheless, cattle are often used to negotiate purchases by the Guajiros, even for acquiring spouses. So, because turtle meat is much more revered, the Guajiros have favored turtle harvesting since its meat is more valuable than that of cattle. For instance, an adult carey turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) might bring a fisherman as much as 280 American dollars. As a result, this economic situation has led to the formation of commercial fisheries for turtles using non-traditional hunting techniques by the Guajiros. In fact, our research has determined that 45% of the dead turtles in our study area were killed by Wayuu communities, approximately 25 turtles per year.

Model-communities with community-based conservation initiatives in Baja California, Mexico, and Caribbean Nicaragua will be examined for societal and program factors that contribute to or impede program success. These factors will be placed within the context of historical interactions between humans and sea turtles at each study-site. This analytical research will determine if successful community-based projects are discovered, designed, or resultant of specific internal and external factors. From this research and analysis, we will be able to determine the factors that contribute to the success of community-based conservation initiatives in coastal communities with a history of human-sea turtle interactions.

The Marine Turtle Work Group of the Gulf of Venezuela (Grupo de Trabajo en Tortugas Marinas del Golfo de Venezuela: GTTM-GV) has developed a grass roots, non-profit project named Proyecto Shaewa Proyecto in 2002 with the goal of educating the public about turtles, conducting research on local turtle populations and compiling much-needed data that can be used to formulate and implement useful management strategies for turtles in Venezuela. Despite our lack of office-space or the traditional ammenities usually associated with a research group, we have successfully estabished a working conservation organization soley using publicity as our major vehicle for defining and running our organization. Advertising has helped to generate interest in our program and we hope that it will help us to attract and organize volunteers to participate in the activities of our organization, as well as establish a major network dedicated to the preservation of sea turtles in Venezuela. By continuing our advertising campaign we hope that our organization will continue to grow and, as a result, allow us to educate more people each year on the dangers facing sea turtles in Venezuela.

This study was carried out on Pejeperro Beach, an olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) solitary nesting beach in Costa Rica, from July to September 2006. A total of 20 nests were marked along the beach, 10 of them were in situ, and the other 10 relocated on the beach. On the 40th day of incubation a plastic cylindrical cage was placed around the nests to retain hatchlings for size and weight measurements, to establish emergence sequences, and to know the exact number of hatchlings from each nest. The mean incubation period was 48.7 c 3.51 days (mean + SD). From the 1,883 incubated eggs, a total of 1,624 hatchlings were produced, with mean curved carapace length (CCL) and width (CCW) of 44.26 c 1.65 mm and 44.89 c 1.89 mm respectively; mean CCL and CCW of 35.60 c 0.87mm and 29.30 c 1.67 mm and mean weight of 20 c 2.87 g. The number of emergences per nest was 1.75 c 0.96, with 90.36% of the hatchlings emerging in the first emergence. Sixty percent of the emergences were at night. The total hatching success for the beach was 95.47% with an emergence success of 85.48%.

The turtle with the tag J3630 was the first registry of a green turtle with living tag that returned to nest in 2004, and represented the second registry of a head-started turtle that returned to nest in the region. Data for all the turtles included clutch size, nesting frequency and nest site fidelity. Only the one turtle from 1990 was not confirmed as a head-started turtle. The living tag program is discussed in this paper.

Sand temperature is often monitored by sea turtle biologists and used to estimate incubation length and sex of the hatchlings emerging from their beaches. This is commonly done by burying data loggers on the beach or in nests. However, this technology can be costly and not available in certain areas of the world. This study developed a model to predict sand temperature at different depths based on air temperature. Field data were collected using a 2-meter pole fitted with 9 temperature data loggers. This apparatus was buried on the beach so that it would record temperatures from 0.3 meter above sand surface to 1.0 meter below. All data loggers recorded temperature simultaneously at 15 minute intervals. Temperature was recorded for air, above and below the air-sand interface, and at different sand depths ranging from 0.05 meter to 1.0 meter. Temperature was also recorded from loggerhead clutches and sand 1 meter away to assess the effect of metabolic heat on overall incubation temperature. Data were collected at different Florida beaches that varied according to sand type, compactness, color and moisture. Our model was derived by first establishing the relationship between air temperature, sand color, albedo, sand compactness and moisture. Secondly, an equation that incorporated these variables was derived to predict sand heat transfer. Our data show that there is a 12 hour lag between air and sand temperature at mid loggerhead clutch depth. Air temperature is highest at noon, while the clutch temperature peaks at midnight. Field data also show that the amplitude of the temperature sine wave abates with increasing depth. With minimal mathematical manipulations, this equation allows turtle biologists to modify it according to their specific beach characteristics such as sand moisture and color. By knowing the basic sand properties on a beach, sea turtle biologists can use this generalized equation to estimate clutch temperature. This can be a very useful tool for nesting beaches throughout the world and for assessment of beaches that have undergone anthropogenic sand changes such as those associated with beach nourishment projects.

Investigators might be interested in testing hypotheses about the effect of current population size or density (number of animals per unit resource) on future population processes. Decision makers might want to determine a level of allowable take of individual turtles of specified life stage. Nevertheless, monitoring most stages of sea turtle life histories is difficult, because obtaining access to individuals is difficult. Although in-water assessments are becoming more common, nesting females and their hatchlings remain the most accessible life stages. In some cases adult females of a given nesting population are sufficiently philopatric that the population itself can be well defined. If a well designed tagging study is conducted on this population, survival, breeding probability, and the size of the nesting population in a given year can be estimated. However, with published statistical methodology the size of the entire breeding population (including those females skipping nesting in that year) cannot be estimated without assuming that each adult female in this population has the same probability of nesting in a given year (even those that had just nested in the previous year). We present a method for estimating the total size of a breeding population (including nesters those skipping nesting) from a tagging study limited to the nesting population, allowing for the probability of nesting in a given year to depend on an individual's nesting status in the previous year (i.e., a Markov process). From this we further develop estimators for rate of growth from year to year in both nesting population and total breeding population, and the proportion of the breeding population that is breeding in a given year. We also discuss assumptions and apply these methods to a breeding population of hawksbill sea turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) from the Caribbean. We anticipate that this method could also be useful for in-water studies of well defined populations.

During this time, 108 nesting C. mydas were tagged in Hatohobei State on Helen Island and 36 were tagged in Sonsorol State on Merir Island. Nesting C. mydas on Helen had a mean minimum curved carapace length (CCL sub(min)) of 101.4 cm (SD=5.2), a mean curved carapace length from nuchal notch to tip (CCL sub(n-t)) of 101.2 cm (SD = 8.8), a mean maximum curved carapace length (CCL sub(max)) of 103.7 cm (SD=5.5), and a mean curved carapace width (CC sub(width)) of 91.6 cm (SD=9.2). Nesting C. mydas on Merir had a CCL sub(min) of 104.1 cm (SD=6.0), CCL sub(n-t) of 104.9 cm (SD=6.2), CCL sub(max) of 106.3 cm (SD=5.9), and CC sub(width) of 94.3 cm (SD=4.9). Most nesting activity for C. mydas occurred from April to August at Helen and Merir. Individual tagged C. mydas returned 1 to 9 times to nest at Helen between April and August 2005 and 1 to 8 times between September 2005 and June 2006. Average nesting intervals for the 68 green turtles tagged from September 2005 to June 2006 on Helen Island was 12 days. Average number of eggs per clutch between September 2005 and June 2006 was 106 with an average of 84 hatched and 23 unhatched eggs. Tissue samples were taken from 6 foraging E. imbricata, 47 foraging C. mydas, and 22 nesting C. mydas during the summer of 2005. A total of 17 captive E. imbricata were tagged in Koror State in 2005. From 2005-2006, 30% of all observed E. imbricata nests were poached. Threats to turtle populations in Palau include human poaching of nests, entanglement in abandoned fishing nets, egg predation by wild pigs as well as monitor lizards, and nesting habitat degradation from coastal development and storms. One satellite transmitter was attached to Diliomekang, a nesting E. imbricata in the Rock Islands of Koror State on July 27th, 2006. A second transmitter was deployed on Hocharihi, a C. mydas, on Sep 27th from Helen Island. The movements of both are currently monitored. The project received technical and funding support from Bureau of Marine Resources, Palau Conservation Society, Palau Fish and Wildlife Protection, Palau Automated Land and Resource Information Systems, US Fish and Wildlife Service, Community Conservation Network, and the Pacific Islands Regional Office of NOAA Fisheries. Data was collected by the national Marine Turtle Conservation and Monitoring Program office working in partnership with state conservation officers and the communities of Hatohobei, Sonsorol, Angaur, Peleliu, Koror, Melekeok Ngiwal, Ngaraard, Ngarchelong, and Kayangel.

The present study, conducted on the 25 km of the MSR coastline, involved identifying the most important nesting periods and beach zones for both sea turtles species. The study area was divided into five zones, each approximately 5 km long. All sea turtle activities within those zones were recorded daily, whether it resulted in nesting or not, during three consecutive nesting seasons (1999/00 to 2001/02). Loggerhead turtles proved to be the most widespread species within the MSR with an average annual nesting population estimated at 60 c 11 (SD) compared with leatherback, whose population was estimated at 15 c 5 (SD). The average proportion of nests between loggerhead and leatherback was 2.17:1, with significant variation across the three seasons. A relatively low ratio of nests to false crawls was observed (1.33:1 for loggerhead and 1.41:1 for leatherback) and appeared to be related to the excellent condition that the area offers for both species and the relative low level of human disturbance and competition between species. Both species presented more or less the same temporal and spatial nesting patterns. The nesting season normally starts in October and extends up to February with a peak for both species in the 2nd half of December. Nests of both species were not randomly distributed along the five zones, favouring the extreme northern and southern portions (zones 1 & 5). Preliminary evidence suggests that the two species have almost the same beach preference, although loggerheads appear to prefer more the southern zone and leatherbacks the northern.

Beginning in 2005, we started conducting in-water surveys by boat and snorkelling transects in Montecristi Underwater National Park and del Este National Park, in northwestern and southeastern Dominican Republic, respectively. Turtle captures were performed using the rodeo technique for shallow areas and hand capture by divers in coral reef areas. Immature hawksbill and green sea turtles were found in seagrass beds and coral reef habitats. Captured turtles ranged in size from 24.6-55.6 cm curved carapace length (n = 13). Although sighting frequency (particularly for Montecristi) was much lower than in our main study site at Jaragua, the juvenile aggregation at Saona Island (del Este National Park) showed many interesting features. Particularly noteworthy, was the presence of hawksbills in a very shallow (less than 1m) seagrass bed area in southeast Saona Island. Distribution of sighted turtles, sighting frequencies, habitat observations, threats, and conservation opportunities are reported and discussed.

Too little has been studied about the effects that these practices can have in the hatchlings' physiology and nutrition. We decided to evaluate if different kinds of hatchling retention scenarios may have an effect in their plasma glucose levels, since it may be used as a parameter that reflects nutritional and endocrinal turtle conditions. Under normal conditions this metabolite has values from 60 to 100 mg/dl. The values for this metabolite can change between species, and it can be influenced by the environmental, physical and nutritional conditions of each organism. For this work, we used 160 olive ridley's (Lepidochelys olivacea) hatchlings, which were retained by periods from 6 to 48 hours under 4 different conditions (water-shade, sand-shade, water-darkness, sand-darkness), after this we obtained blood samples and determined the glucose concentration using a conventional glucometer. We observed that in the retention of hatchlings in sand-shade between 6 and 12 hours the levels of glucose rose lightly and gradually. Turtles held for 6 hrs and 12 hrs at sand-darkness experienced major variation in glucose levels. After 24 and 48 hours of retention the glucose levels rise drastically, and we found that the major differences were related to the turtles kept in sand, particularly individuals kept for 24 and 48 hours demonstrated the highest variation. The increase in the glucose levels observed in these experiments can be due to the stress generated by the conditions of retention, phenomenon that has been widely related to the liberation of glucocorticoids, that among other processes act in the liver increasing the synthesis of enzymes that promote the gluconeogenesis. This kind of studies allow us, in an indirect way, to evaluate the degree of stress that is induced in the hatchlings that are submitted to periods of brief or long retention and they allow us to be able to evaluate, in an objective way, if such practices should be performed.

Such predation rates appear to be highly dramatic considering that this area is one of the hotspots in the world for the nesting of Dermochelys coriacea. Our research was carried out at Pongara National Park in Gabon, Central Africa during the 2005/2006 nesting season. The study area spreads over six kilometers of beach where natural nests were marked with wooden sticks to allow daily survey and nest exhumation after hatching occured. During exhumation of the nest, yolkless eggs, egg shells and unhatched eggs were counted. Unhatched eggs were first classified as predated and non-predated and then opened to examine their contents. We found a high variety of unidentified contents in predated eggs which ranged from plain sand to possibly rotten pigmented embryos. Predated eggs showed several types of holes on the shell that were attributed to ants as they were found dead in huge amounts inside predated eggs and sometimes alive in the nest incubation chamber. Ants collected and preserved in eppendorf tubes with 96 alcohol were identified as Dorylus spininodis Emery, 1901 belonging to the Dorylinae subfamily commonly known as "Army ants". It is a pan-african species so the hipotesis of an introduced species is eliminated. Their activities are mainly underground; that is why, no signs of predation activity were recorded above sand during daily surveys of the nests. Doryline ants are known to exploit large sources of food, such as termite nests, during long periods of time, which leads us to think that they could have specialised on feeding on turtle nests. Moreover, their feeding regime is composed on foods rich in lipids, the only known way to study these subterranean ants being using palm oil baits (Berghoff, 2002). Predation by Dorylus spp. has already been signaled in South Africa for Caretta caretta nests (Maxwell, 1998). Results could be biased by the fact that there was a tedency to mark nests near vegetation. Further research should be done on this topic so as to elucidate if ants have a spatial or temporal preference and to confirm their predation mechanism. This work was made posible thanks to a research grant from the Basque Government and the logistics provided by Gabon Environnement, a local NGO. It is also part of the PROTOMAC network.

This includes a record high 3,177 nests in 2005 and 1,384 nests recorded in 2006, an expected "low" year. The Carr Refuge beach extends 21 km on the east-central coast of Florida. In the nearby Indian River Lagoon, the CPUE for juvenile green turtles captured in large mesh tangle nets has increased by an order of magnitude during the same time period. We hypothesize that the long-term, uninterrupted nature of these increases in two disparate life-history stages indicates the beginning of the recovery of the Florida green turtle.

For many protected species, these estimates often are obtained via mark-recapture analyses, distance sampling, or simple counts. Although simple counts of individuals in a population may not be a good index of the total population, these data sometimes are the only available information. Consequently, analytical methods are necessary to estimate the rate of change in population size from these data. I use a state-space modeling method to estimate the population growth rate from simple longitudinal count data. I assume that the population follows a geometric population growth (Nt = lNt-1) and that counts are random samples from the population. Based on these assumptions, the population growth rate is estimated via a Bayesian state-space modeling. The observed counts are modeled with either uniform or binomial distributions. For uniform distribution, Ot 6 UNIF(0, Nt), where Ot is the count at time t and Nt is the population size. For the binomial distribution, Ot 6 BIN(Nt, pt), where pt is the detection probability at time t. Analyses on simulated data indicated that the proposed method provided unbiased and precise posterior distributions for the population growth rate. Longer time-series data provided more precise marginal posterior distributions on the growth rate. Posterior simulations indicated that the binomial model fitted well to data. Although the proposed modeling approach was based on the assumption that the minimal data were available, the same approach can be extended if more data become available. For example, the detection probability may be modeled with one or more covariates if information on sampling effort is available. Detection probability may be modeled with serial correlations, which are likely to be found in many datasets. Further, if multiple datasets are available for a population (or a management unit), these data can be modeled with one underlying population growth rate. Such approach, i.e., random effects of multiple datasets, can provide a robust estimate of the population growth rate, in which uncertainty of the growth rate from multiple datasets can be explicitly included. This Bayesian state-space modeling approach provides an alternative to existing regression-type analyses for estimating population growth rates. There are several attractive features of the approach. The model is simple and easy to understand. The state-space modeling approach is flexible and has been well-established for fisheries science. Results of the analysis are easy to interpret. For example, the probability that the population growth rate is greater than one can be computed from a posterior distribution. With risk functions, decision analysis can be incorporated directly into the analysis, which makes the analysis attractive to managers. The assumed population model can be extended to other forms, such as logistic, Ricker, and others. Finally, auxiliary information about parameters, e.g., population growth rate and detection probabilities, can be incorporated directly into the analysis via prior distributions.

This is in contrast to the previous decade, when the nesting population appeared to have a positive trend of 4% per year. Has a new threat emerged or is this the result of something that happened to the turtles in years past? We have taken a new broad scale approach to address these questions by analyzing shifts in the size distribution data for the Atlantic population of loggerheads. We compiled several datasets from both fishery dependent and fishery independent sources that span up to 30 years. These include strandings data for the US Atlantic and Gulf coast, incidental captures in the St. Lucie, Florida power plant intake canal and several fisheries datasets. By utilizing data from various sources, ranging from direct fisheries take to those completely independent of fisheries, and considering issues such as shifts in sampling effort and selectivity, we can identify consistent patterns in loggerhead size distributions that can be attributed to human-induced mortality. Our approach allows us to identify shifts or patterns in size distribution that may provide insight into the population trends we are observing on the beaches today. Initially we have observed that there are holes in the normal distribution of sizes during certain time periods over the past 30 years. For example, data from the St. Lucie power plant and strandings both show a marked shift to a bi-modal distribution in the late 1980s. Our next step will be to compare the observed size patterns with major fisheries changes and management decisions. By fitting the size data to a timeline of fishing pressure and changes in management we can better understand potential causes of the recent decline in loggerhead nesting.

In continuation of these efforts, the northern coastline of Syria has been regularly surveyed to record stranded turtles. Several additional at-sea observations were made from boat patrols in the shallow near-shore region. Date, location, species, curved carapace length and width, and cause of death (if determined) were logged for stranded turtles together with photographic records of each encounter. Turtles were spray-painted to avoid duplicate records of the same stranded individual. Species and estimated size class (juvenile [CCL=25-40cm], medium [CCL=40-65 cm] or adult) were recorded for at-sea observations. Results presented here are from surveys between January 2005 and July 2006 and provide strong indications as to Syria's importance for sea turtle populations in the Mediterranean. In total, 156 turtle strandings were recorded, comprising 123 [78.8%] green turtles and 33 [21.1%] loggerheads. Of the green turtles; 23 (18.7%) were adult females, 44 (35.8%) were medium size and 56 (45.5%) were juveniles. Of the loggerhead turtles; 15 (45.5%) were adult females, 14 (42.4%) medium size and 4 (12.1%) were juveniles. In 2005, eleven turtles were recorded between January and March, 33 turtles between April and June, 33 turtles between July and September and 17 turtles between October and December. Certain key facts can be taken from these findings: 1, all size classes of both species of sea turtle that nests in the Mediterranean occur in Syrian coastal waters. 2, sea turtles of both species occur year-round in Syrian waters. 3, the large number and density of stranded turtles indicate important foraging turtle populations; in addition to the large nesting aggregation. 4, this large number of strandings also indicates the high level of threats facing turtles in Syria's coastal waters, with fishing being a major contributor to turtle deaths. 5, a most alarming finding was the continuation of deliberate killing of adult females during their nesting emergences on the beach at Latakia; something first reported from the 2004 nesting season. These results prove that, in addition to its significant nesting beaches, Syrian coastal waters should be considered regionally important areas for foraging sea turtles and require the application of full and proper conservation measures to protect the populations present.

The coastal-marine area of Cerro Verde in the Rocha state (33 56 ' S; 53 30 W), was highlighted as a region of great importance and diversity of critical habitats for this species. During its juvenile stage C. mydas utilize this coastal and insular ecosystem as a developmental and foraging ground. The area presents a great diversity of species (algae, invertebrates, fishes, marine birds, whales, dolphins and sea lions, among others) of interest for its conservation and which also play a significant role for this ecosystem. The green turtle has been adopted as a flagship species selected to act as an ambassador, for this habitat. By focusing on, and achieving conservation of sea turtles, the status of many other species which share its habitat may also be improved. The success reached with this flagship species, constituted the baseline for the development of new projects and studies on other species with the same characteristics (Tursiops truncatus, Eubalaena australis, Pontoporia blainvillei, Sterna sp.). The Cerro Verde area has suffered a constant degradation per decades, principally for the use and inadequate development of the coastal zone, illegal fishing, overexploitation of the marine resources, vehicle transit along the coastal fringe, pollution by trash waste and toxic tributaries from agriculture and tourist development without any kind of management and control. From 2004, Karumbe and other organizations started to promote the incorporation of the Cerro Verde area (2000 coastal hectares and 7000 marine hectares) within the National System of Protected Areas (SNAP). Finally in the year 2006 the Cerro Verde area was presented as the first Coastal-Marine Protected Area of Uruguay (CMPA) before the National Commission Advisors of the SNAP under the category "Habitat/Species Management Area" described by the Decree 52/2005 (Regulation of the Law 17.234). The creation of this first CMPA, the development of an effective management plan the future integration of other marine areas to the SNAP, are the first steps towards the reduction of the present threats in the most important developmental and foraging habitats for the green turtles in Uruguay.

Although marine turtles enjoy iconic status in many cultures and sectors and are protected from exploitation in many parts of the world, commercial and artisanal marine turtle fisheries persist - and persist in placing pressure on already depleted populations. Effective conservation necessitates not only effective management of marine turtle exploitation but also effective coordination between range States. In April 2001, TRAFFIC published the results of its investigation of marine turtle exploitation and trade in the northern Caribbean Sea. Following on the findings of this report that turtle meat, eggs and other products in the region continue to serve basic subsistence needs, as well as commercial markets, and that management is complicated and even undermined by a patchwork of regulatory regimes, varying levels of enforcement effort, and generally inadequate conservation investment, the Secretariat of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) commissioned TRAFFIC International to undertake a complementary study focusing on the Lesser Antilles, Central America, Colombia and Venezuela. The recently published report - Turning the Tide: Exploitation, Trade and Management of Marine Turtles in the Lesser Antilles, Central America, Colombia and Venezuela - reviews exploitation, trade and management of marine turtles in 26 countries and territories, virtually completing analysis of these issues across the Wider Caribbean Region (excluding only the Guianas). In addition to a regional overview and national chapters for each of the jurisdictions examined, the report provides detailed recommendations aimed at bringing marine turtle exploitation in line with the principles and practice of sustainable use, including the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, optimizing turtle conservation activities in the region, and providing the basis for a concerted effort to develop a unified region-wide approach to management. This report represents the first in-depth regional analysis of marine turtle management, in that it goes beyond the legislative framework to the implications of that framework for the sustainability of marine turtle populations, and to the operational measures being taken by government agencies, NGOs, local communities and other actors to manage exploitation and conserve marine turtle populations. It also details the implications of the management regime in place in one jurisdiction for the marine turtles that spend parts of their lives in other jurisdictions, thus providing further evidence of the need for a multilateral approach to marine turtle management and conservation in the region. The report's comprehensive assessment of management shortcomings and priorities for rectifying these at both national and regional levels is designed to serve as a guiding reference for ongoing deliberations by national and intergovernmental bodies on marine turtle management needs in the region, for many years to come.

In the Gulf of Venezuela (Zulia State) the indigenous culture Wayuu has two important characteristics in its economic and cultural development, as they are it fishery and the marine turtles like symbol of prosperity, wealth, food and medicine. However these reptiles have been taken to a point of risk on the part of man that are considered like species in extinction danger; what entails to the deep revision of the impacts that can originate a proposal of conservation in a community like the Wayuu. Based on the direct observation in field, as well as the interviews made to the inhabitants of the zone (in its majority Indigenous Wayuu) have considered possible measures to avoid the use of these reptiles, so that it is not attempted to his survival, but that goes agreed with the own customs of the ethnic group. Some positions are observed which could be opposite to the conservation of the marine turtles, so and as they settle down in the Venezuelan legislation; in addition to which economically the marine turtles are to pound fundamental of approximately 350 families (single in Venezuela) who use these animals as nutritional and economic sustenance, also are important part within the culture (beliefs magical-religions). Therefore it is necessary that agreed plans of handling with all the reality consider and that is economically profitable as much for the vigilant and/or regulating beings like for the Wayuu natives. One such sets out the creation of cooperatives fishing with monitoring on the part of fishermen, as well as the cultivation of shrimps and oyster, like economic alternative and ecologically viable throughout the coast of the zone of the Gulf of Venezuela, thus gradually to be improving the population levels of the marine turtles in this important zone of feeding.

Multiple factors are suspected, including biofouling and antenna damage on a platform terminal transmitter (PTT). However, independent tests of these factors are difficult to evaluate after a turtle is released. To evaluate biofouling in a more controlled setting, we simulated transmitter deployments at dock sites in the eastern and western Gulf of Mexico. The conceptual evaluation tested two treatments and interaction, though was without adequate replication for a proper ANOVA design. Replica PTTs were bolted to the outside of a weighted five gallon bucket. To simulate PTT attachment to a turtle's carapace, the transmitter and adjacent bucket surface were covered with epoxy. Buckets were submerged off docks at Sarasota, Florida and Pelican Island, Texas during August 2006. Current flow past the buckets was equivalent to slow swim rates of turtles, judged on visual assessment of drift algae. Each bucket was retrieved weekly to photo-document patterns and rates of biofouling. Four treatments were arrayed around the bucket's exterior: (1) a control with a bare surface transmitter and bare epoxy attachment area, (2) clear spray-on antifouling paint on the transmitter and no treatment to the epoxy, (3) brush-on antifouling paint to the epoxy but no treatment to the transmitter, and (4) a combination of spray-on treatment to the transmitter and brush-on paint to the epoxy. The pilot study was designed to generate only qualitative results on a limited array of antifouling treatments. Despite this, the preliminary results were clear. A combination of antifouling spray and brush-on paints clearly reduced the rate of biofouling more than either spray or paint alone, or the control. Epifaunal colonization was most rapid on the control and covered the saltwater switch in less than four weeks. Biofouling organisms were primarily teneid or sabellid worm tubes at the Florida site and algae, acorn barnacles, and oysters at the Texas site. The most effective inhibition of biofouling requires treatment(s) across the entire transmitter and epoxied surfaces. Biofouling is a significant concern when deploying PTTs in waters of high turbidity. Follow-up studies incorporating an expanded spatial scope are warranted. This pilot study concluded Part 1 of a three Part series into surface antifouling methods. Future trials will evaluate whether anti-fouling treatments may affect signal transmissions or the saltwater switches, hopefully with participation at additional test locations. Part 2 of the study will repeat replica PTTs with the same antifouling treatments for transmitter and epoxy attachment surfaces, but also include transducer paint applied to the saltwater switches and antenna. Part 3 of the study will evaluate actual PTTs with all antifouling treatments on all surfaces.

In the revised 2005 Bangladesh Wildlife Preservation Amendment Act all sea turtles were classified as protected species. Yet, sea turtles in Bangladesh still face severe troubles, both in offshore waters and on inshore nesting grounds. For example, in the of Sundarban World Heritage Site there is stll no protected area for sea turtles, despite the tourism and other infrastructure development activity that continues to grow on an annual basis. Similarly, the government declared the south-eastern coast areas of Bangladesh 'Ecologically Critical Areas' or ECA, which include Sonadia Island, St. Martin Island and Cox's Bazar-Teknaf Peninsular coast. Yet again, many activities are still occurring that clearly degrade the local wildlife habitats - including those occupied by sea turtles - with no apparent provision prohibiting these activities in sight. In addition, the shrimp trawlers of Bangladesh still do not use TEDs, beach development occurs on an unabated rate, shrimp hatcheries operate in local estuaries utilized by turtles, resorts and road building contribute to local pollution in watersheds, illegal turtle egg collection still occurs, turtles are killed by offshore fishing activities such as gill netting, turtles are negatively affected by beach front lighting and from tourist night activities, and nesting females and hatchlings are killed and consumed by feral dogs. As a result, sea turtles are not nesting on some beaches previously used for oviposition. Clearly there is much work to be done to protect sea turtles in Bangladesh. I am extremely thankful to Disney Animal Kingdom, Western Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Council, US National Marine Fisheries Service, Ford Foundation and US Fish and Wildlife Service for their financial support to attend the symposium.

"PASTA" - the Pacific-Atlantic Sea Turtle Assessment - has resulted in important data synthesis and evaluation of stressors that reveal critical differences among sea turtle populations. The contrast between Atlantic (stable or increasing) and Pacific (generally decreasing) is most striking for leatherbacks, and there is evidence of correlation among nesting sites. Our project addresses three primary questions: a) Why are the status and trends of northern loggerhead and leatherback turtle populations different in the Pacific and Atlantic? b) What are the relative impacts of key stressors on these populations? and c) What are critical data gaps that need to be addressed by science and management? Our emphasis is on broad scale impacts and trends in direct harvest, nesting beach development, coastal fisheries, pelagic fisheries, and climate change that may affect foraging grounds. Our products include GIS maps, life cycle models and dispersal models. While the causes of population decline (and increase) are multiple and interacting, our analyses of stressors in the north Atlantic and north Pacific have allowed us to generate testable hypotheses about the relative roles of each through time. Differences in the life history strategies of the two species in each ocean basin may be contributing to their response to climate change and fisheries. By combining a wide range of expertise from a variety of disciplines, we have been exposed to new ways of thinking about human and natural impacts on sea turtle populations. Most importantly, our workshops have promoted interdisciplinary networking among our attendees, a desirable result that will benefit sea turtle research and conservation in the future.

Records of leatherback and green turtles are more rare. Morocco does not have known sea turtle nesting beaches. The migration of loggerhead turtles between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean must include passage through the Straits of Gibraltar, highlighting the importance of the northwestern Atlantic coast of Morocco, including Tangier. Based on strandings information, reports from fishers and market surveys, the majority of sea turtles that occur in Mediterranean Moroccan waters are juvenile and sub-adult loggerheads. Mortality from fisheries interactions and pollution appears to be relatively small. We also report on other actions being undertaken for sea turtle conservation in Morocco, including education-awareness of fishermen, stimulating regional/international cooperation, and working to strengthen national laws to protect turtles.

The power plant is located on Hutchinson Island, on the southeast Atlantic coast Florida USA. Beginning in 1976 a sea turtle monitoring program was initiated to capture and release sea turtles entrapped in the power plant's intake cooling water canal. From 1976 to October 2006 the program has captured (including recaptures) 6825 loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta), 4913 green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas), 45 hawksbill sea turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata), 45 Kemp's ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys kempii), and 31 leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea). Because the power plant operates on a continuous basis, the intake canal provides a constant sampling of sea turtle aggregations in the nearshore habitat of Florida's east coast. Tag recoveries from 176 loggerhead and green turtles released from the power plant site were recorded in Cuba (3%), Nicaragua (5%), Maryland (1%), Virginia (2%), North Carolina (7%), South Carolina (3%), Georgia (2%), and Florida (78%). Species specific and size specific movements were also examined in this study.

Both of these protected areas are located in the south Caribbean of Costa Rica. Conservation work has been carried out since 1990 in Gandoca, and 2000 in Cahuita-Black Beach. The activities of the program have been divided into five areas: Research and Conservation, Environmental Education and Public Awareness, Political Advocacy, Social and Economic Alternatives and Conservation Planning. The main species recorded in these beaches was the Leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) with 9,805 total nests in Gandoca and 1,176 nests in Cahuita-Black Beach since the beginning of the program. The main impacts on the population in the region are poaching of eggs, beach erosion, marine debris carried by the currents and rivers, as well as hunting for nesting females. Conservation actions led to a reduction of illegal poaching of eggs from 100% to 3% in Gandoca, and 20% in Cahuita-Black Beach. A total of 496 nesting females have been tagged with passive integrated transponders (PITs) in Gandoca for the period 1999-2006, and 125 in Cahuita-Black Beach. The information generated shows that this population inter-nests in both places and in other beaches in Panama and Costa Rica, which highlights the importance of coordinated conservation action at a national and international level.

AN - 20415959; 9094193 AB - Natural green turtle hatching success and hatchling production data have been collected at Tortuguero, Costa Rica on an annual basis since 1998. We analyzed these data to determine if monitoring of hatching success can inform conservation strategies and help managers choose between activities such as nest relocation and/or focused beach patrols by park rangers. To determine which variables influence green turtle hatching success and hatchling production, we analyzed data from a sample of 1,416 green turtle nests laid 1998-2005. Hatching success averaged 63.5% and average emerging success was 61.2%. While this is higher than recorded in previous studies at Tortuguero (42.0%-57.8%), and our estimate is within the observed range from other nesting beaches, it is slightly lower than the average reported for rookeries bordering the Atlantic (n=6, 71.5%), Indian (n=3, 71.2%) and Pacific (n=12, 73.6%) Oceans. We used the number of hatched eggs as the response variable, and year, Julian date, beach zone, distance to the vegetation, distance to the high tide line and mile were used as potential cofactors in a GAM model. Only year, Julian date and beach zone had significant effects. It seems nests laid early during the nesting season produced fewer hatched eggs than nests laid later in the year. The model accounted for only 7% of the observed variance. Interannual variation in average hatchling production could be caused by variation in rainfall, beach dynamics and nest density. As neither distance to the vegetation, distance to the high tide line or mile had significant effects, we conclude that nest relocation is inappropriate as a conservation strategy at Tortuguero. Graphically plotting illegal take along the northern five miles of nesting beach, however, indicates that the rates of illegal take are highest around Tortuguero village. Increased patrols by park rangers or local turtle spotters along this 800 m section of beach may help reduce illegal take of green turtle eggs. We conclude that monitoring of hatching success is crucial for guiding nesting beach management strategies at Tortuguero and other sea turtle nesting beaches. The alternatives, to base management decisions on default practices or analyses of data from other nesting beaches, may result in suboptimal conservation actions and investments. We also suggest monitoring at Tortuguero should be extended to include nests laid during the entire nesting season from June until the end of October.

This is in part the result of a long-term experimental program that involved "imprinting" hatchlings on PI that had been hatched from eggs relocated from the main nesting beach at Rancho Nuevo, Mexico. Since 1995, the number of nests recorded in Texas increased from 4 to a record of 102 in 2006. Although nests are identified and monitored in Texas, it has not been possible to observe and tag each Kemp's ridley nesting along the extensive stretch of coastline. It is unclear how many nests were laid by the same female turtles, and this information is important to obtaining accurate estimate of the annual numbers of females nesting. We explore using a genetic approach to inferring the number of individual nesters from genotypes determined from dead embryos and hatchlings sampled from clutches laid in Texas. We have developed and optimized 9 microsatelitte loci for Kemp's ridleys to match genotypes for nesters and offspring of unknown parentage. We evaluate whether microsatellites are a useful tool in determining how many females are nesting in Texas. Results will be used to address management questions regarding abundance of nesting females.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - The first Satellite Tracking of a Sea Turtle from Syria: the post-nesting migration of a green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas) AN - 20415810; 9094149 AB - Significant levels of green turtle nesting in Syria were only first verified during a survey in 2004 when a population ranking in the top ten of the Mediterranean was discovered at Latakia Beach (Rees, Saad & Jony, in press). A flipper tagging project was initiated that should obtain results on turtle movements and nesting ecology in the ensuing years. In July 2006 a single green turtle, named Kay, was equipped with a Kiwisat 101 Argos PTT after she had completed a nest. Data collection, management and mapping were undertaken using the Satellite Tracking and Analysis Tool (STAT; Coyne and Godley, 2005), a utility of seaturtle.org. The objectives of the action were to obtain the first detailed information on green turtle movements from Syria and to raise national and international interest in and awareness of the nesting turtle population in Syria. Unfortunately, no internesting habitat was determined as the turtle immediately migrated away from the nesting beach after transmitter deployment, making no further nests. The turtle approximately followed the coastline south to Egypt, passing through territorial waters of the intervening states and then westwards along the Egyptian coast to the border of Libya. At that point the acquisition of location data became far less frequent. All subsequent locations, until the last one received in late October, placed the turtle still near the coast on the Egyptian side of the Egypt / Libya border. Results from this turtle give an indication that the African coast is utilised as overwintering and foraging habitat for adult, female green turtles of Syria and complements the more extensive findings of tracking studies undertaken in Cyprus (Godley et al, 2002) and Turkey. Improved communication and conservation measures along the Mediterranean African coast are therefore essential to ensure better protection for this critically endangered population. We recommend more satellite transmitters are deployed in Syria, in the coming years, in tandem with the flipper tagging programme. This would reveal internesting habitat, thus supporting the setting up of a marine park in the Latakia Beach area and further verify Egypt's importance as between-breeding foraging habitat for adult green turtles.

A total of 104km (52% of the total) are within one of the 14 protected areas in this state: 1) Yum Balam Flora and Fauna's Protection Area, 2) Contoy Island National Park, 3) Manatee Lagoon and Chacmochuc Ecological Conservation Zone, 4) Western Coast of Isla Mujeres, Punta Cancun and Punta Nizuc National Park, 5) Puerto Morelos Coral Reef National Park, 6) Cozumel Coral Reef National Park, 7) Punta Sur Colombia Lagoon Flora and Fauna State Refuge, 8) Sea Turtle State Sanctuary Xcacel-Xcacelito 9) Tulum National Park, 10) Sian Ka'an's Coral Reef Biosphere Reserve, 11) Sian Ka'an's Biosphere Reserve, 12) Manatee State Sanctuary at Chetumal Bay 13) Banco Chinchorro Biosphere Reserve and 14) Xcalak Coral Reef National Park. However, the beaches adjacent to Xcacel: Chemuyil, Aventuras, and Xel-ha are not legally protected and are some of the most important sea turtle beaches in the state. This study describes the most relevant aspects in the conservation of sea turtles in the protected areas of this region. We analyzed nest management and found that the nesting population of green turtles has increased while the loggerheads have decreased in the last five years. Erosion and poaching are some of the factors that decrease the production of hatchlings. However, the reduction of nesting habitat caused by tourism and urban development along the coast is the main problem for both species. The most important factors that determine the operation of the protected marine areas are discussed. As well as the agents that establish the connectivity between them, considering the highly migratory behavior of these organisms, showed in the results of the different tagging programs in the study area. The sea turtle's role as an umbrella species that draws attention is also discussed. Therefore more efforts should be done to protect the beaches and increase the hatchling production. Finally, it is important to say thanks to the support given by the 27th Sea Turtle Symposium Organizing Committee as well as the following organizations: Western Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Council, Disney Animal Kingdom, US Fish and Wildlife Service, US National Marine Fisheries Service, and the Committee of Sea Turtle Protection in Quintana Roo.

The harsh winds and high surf severely eroded the dunes, causing massive destruction of beach front properties. One of the affected beaches was the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge (ACNWR) in Brevard County, FL. Since the establishment of the ACNWR in 1990, no armoring (sea walls, groins, or other man-made structures) has been permitted. However, in response to the extensive damage caused by the hurricanes, emergency permitting allowed for the installation of large, sand-filled geotextile tubes in four areas of beach within the boundaries of the ACNWR. The ACNWR is a globally significant nesting beach for three species of marine turtles: green turtles (Chelonia mydas), loggerheads (Caretta caretta), and leatherbacks (Dermochelys coriacea). Because of the importance of this beach, justifiable concerns regarding the possible interactions between marine turtles and geotextile tubes arose on the part of agency officials and marine turtle conservationists at several levels. Special conditions for the installation and maintenance of the tubes were agreed to in an Order of Delegation entered into by Brevard County and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and mandated through FWC permits. This study, now in its second year, is a continuing examination of the interaction with marine turtles at the four tube installation sites. Comparisons were made by combining nesting season data collected in 2005 and 2006 and comparing them to control nests using parametric statistical tests. Control nests are the randomly selected nests that are assessed annually in Brevard for the Index Nesting Beach Program (INBS).

Knowledge of expected data acquisition rates for tracking equipment are crucial prerequisites for developing plausible research objectives. Currently expectations of performance by transmitters after deployment are poorly described in the literature. We aimed to strengthen the knowledge base of data acquisition rates for the different location quality classes (LCs) during 3 periods (nesting season, post-nesting migration, and post-nesting foraging) of the adult female loggerhead turtle life stage. We also described transmitter longevity, and documented peeks and lulls in transmissions during the daily cycle. Satellite transmitters (n = 12) (ST-20; Telonics Inc.) were operated under a continuous 24-hour duty cycle with a 1.0 watt transmission power and a 40-second minimum period between consecutive uplinks. Transmitters were subjected to an initial 5-day pre-deployment trial to acquire baseline transmission data before being secured to adult female loggerhead turtles during nesting attempts on barrier islands in Georgia (May 2005). Acquisition of high quality locations (LCs 3, 2, 1, and A; see McElroy et al. 2006) decreased significantly (F1, 154= 203.68; P < 0.0001) and averaged 3.60 and 4.22 locations/day, respectively. The longevity of our satellite transmitters ranged from a low of 165 days to a high of 455 days (mean = 340 plus or minus 61 days). The best transmission periods observed during this study were between 2:00 am and 5:00 am (EST) as well as 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm in the afternoon. The times when the fewest transmissions occurred were from 10:00 pm to 1:00 am, and from 7:00 am to 9:00 am. The negative effect of deployment on transmission rates of high quality locations was expected, though the magnitude was surprising. The differing transmission rates observed during the 3 periods of the adult female life stage were interesting as these results suggest strong variation in surfacing behavior for adult female loggerheads during different portions of their life history. It is possible that because females don't seem to forage during the nesting season they would need to conserve energy stores potentially leading to less need for prolonged breathing periods at the surface. Because a 24-hour duty cycle was used, our results should be viewed as the maximum amount of data researchers could expect from transmitters during the respective life history periods. Duty cycles could be altered to prolong transmitter longevity, but data acquisition would likely suffer as a result. Also, latitude and longitude can alter transmission rates due to changes in relative position of transmitters to the orbits of tracking satellites as well as other factors. As such, our results are most applicable to studies on the east coast of the United States from New Jersey south to Florida.

Between 2003 and 2006, in-water surveys were conducted to collect information about loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) marine ecology at the temperate breeding area of Zakynthos in Greece. Between April and July, along a 5.5 km stretch of nearshore area, 92% (n = 1333) of sighting events were of solitary females, 4% (n = 60) were of male-female interactions and 4% (n = 60) comprised female-female interactions. The structure of female-female loggerhead sea turtle interactions was analysed for 58 sighting events, each lasting an average of 3.4 minutes (SD plus or minus 1), comprising a total of 3.1 hours observation time. We found that female interactions involved ritualized escalation in behaviour from passive displays (e.g. head-tail circling) to aggressive combat (e.g. sparring). We suggest that circling individuals evaluate opponent size, sparring individuals test opponent strength, and the positioning of the prehensile tail signals motivational intent to either escalate or abort. The presence of intruder females triggered basking and swimming turtles to respond in 100% of events (n = 19), whereas, while residents resting on the seabed responded on 69% occasions (n = 27), they were almost four times more likely to escalate to aggression. While contests were usually initiated when the intruder entered the visual range of the resident, in 12% of instances contests were initiated by tactile advances (nuzzling or biting of carapace) from the intruder. Our results suggest that certain sites may be preferentially sought after and defended by female loggerhead sea turtles.

Marine turtles are also important cultural icons appearing in art, important for many cultural practices and are a totem for many Pacific Island peoples. Current indications are that the number of green turtles continue to decline precipitously - primarily due to local hunting combined with habitat loss and predation on nests by humans and animals. Yet there is very little reliable information on the current status of turtles here. There is no systematic recording of capture, nor monitoring and protection of nesting beaches, and in fact there is little record of important nesting beaches and feeding areas. Recent efforts by communities, local and regional NGO's, government agencies, and regional organisations are starting to produce information on country status and important nesting beaches that are being incorporated into community and country conservation plans. This paper will present preliminary results from this ongoing work from four countries: Fiji Islands, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu and Vanuatu that indicates the hope and challenge for future conservation.

The objectives of this project are: 1) to build a diverse network of fishermen, students, teachers, activists, researchers, funders, managers, indigenous community members and other coastal citizens.; 2) draw on these relationships to understand threats, generate new knowledge and develop locally-appropriate solutions and 3) empower local leaders to communicate the conservation message and share these solutions widely. It is our objective to build a diverse network and through that network facilitate the development of conservation leaders. We build and strengthen our conservation network through technical training and leadership development at biannual group meetings, offering connectivity grants to individuals throughout our network, and conducting international exchanges. Annual Meetings: Each year the Grupo Tortuguero holds a conference in Mexico for all members, collaborators and the general public. This meeting has grown from 45 in 1999 to 350 in 2006! Participants share data and ideas, develop regional strategies, and learn leadership skills. The purpose of the meeting is to foster collaborative efforts between researchers, community members, enforcement officers, and regional conservation organizations. Most importantly, conservation strategies are debated and developed, and critical personal relationships are formed and renewed. The annual monitoring meeting is a time for monitoring teams throughout the network to come together and celebrate the work they are doing to preserve the region's sea turtles. This meeting focuses exclusively on monitoring, and therefore is open only to community monitoring teams and their partners. This meeting gives team members a chance to focus on their work, sharing their data, experiences and lessons learned. Connectivity Grants: We offer connectivity grants to support individuals from communities throughout the network to travel to and work with other communities. Through connectivity grants we are able to send individuals to experience the work being done in different communities, giving them the opportunity to learn from, as well as teach, others working to save sea turtles in the Eastern Pacific. Connectivity grants strengthen the human connections that create the conservation network as well as the work being done on the ground within the communities through the exchange of vital information and experiences. International Exchanges: Understanding the transpacific migrations of endangered sea turtles and the importance of community based projects for the global conservation of sea turtles is critical to building awareness and stimulating local and international conservation efforts. Ander these premises, we have carried out a program designed to establish cultural connections and common perceptions for local and international conservation with a social, economic and ecological vision. This program involves individuals from five nations, representing various sectors, dedicated to better understanding community conservation practices and forming an international conservation vision.

Tortuguero, Pacuare, Cahuita-Black Beach and Gandoca beaches are important nesting sites for Dermochelys coriacea, Chelonia mydas, Eretmochelys imbricata and Caretta caretta. The tool is based on a matrix that included the analysis of four criteria (severity, reach, contribution and irreversibility) applied to each threat or impact. For each criteria the magnitude of the impact was assessed by assigning a score that ranged from very high (5), high (4), medium (3), low (2) or very low (1). This way an impact with little importance could have a minimum qualification of 4 points when assessing all 4 criteria. The impacts used for all beaches were drainage, coastal lightning, trade of sea turtle products, tourism, poaching of nests, hunting of nesting females and beach erosion. Data collected show that in Tortuguero beach the impacts with the highest scores were the hunting of nesting females and beach erosion, while the lowest score was attributed to drainage; the impacts that most contributed to sea turtle mortality were hunting and poaching of nests. In Parismina-Pacuare beach, erosion and nest poaching scored the highest, and drainage the lowest. In this beach the impacts with the highest contribution and reach scores relating to mortality were beach erosion and poaching of nests. The case in Cahuita is very similar to that of Parismina-Pacuare, while in Gandoca tourist behavior and beach erosion were the most important impacts in terms of total score, mainly due to the contribution, reach and severity of these impacts. This tool, which is quickly adapted may be useful in other scenarios where the anthropogenic impacts must be assessed.

The study aims to estimate the population size, assess the threats and needs of this population, and serve to aid in the development and implementation of a national sea turtle recovery plan. By the counting of tracks and tagging since 1999, we estimated the nesting females to be about 6000 per year with more than 16,000 emergences at Moheli Island. Half of these emergences occur on the beaches of Itsamia village, south east of the Islands. However this population is threatened by hunting (mainly), habitat degradation (sand extraction, sedimentation and general degradation of coral reefs and sea grass beds) and the natural predation of hatchlings. In this action plan, we have developed programmes including Research/monitoring, education/awareness, training, socio-economic alternatives (ecotourism and fishing), law enforcement, and regional co-operation. In each programme a diagnosis of the situation and the specific aims and actions to be developed are discussed. The implementation of the programmes is also considered. In this part we discuss the work plan, costs and the effectiveness evaluation system. The establishment of the Moheli Marine Park in 2001 has been instrumental in the conservation of sea turtles and their habitats. The efforts of local communities in conserving their close natural resources (including sea turtles) are obviously successful. Their participation is an important key for any conservation programmes and should be reinforced. An Integrated approach, taking in to account development and conservation goals, has been highly recommended. Conservation efforts will be successful if we are realistic about demographic constraints and set realistic goals. We have then to be aware that the population recovery will be slow.

Minimum convex polygons (convex hulls) are a well accepted method for estimating species' ranges, particularly in circumstances in which presence-only data are the only kind of spatially explicit data available. While MCPs are simple to both understand and implement, they are subject to tremendous bias that varies both with sample size and the shape of the underlying range. Another commonly used method of calculating ranges is kernel density estimators (KDE). KDE is a computationally complex method that is difficult to understand and would be beyond the means of most users to implement if not for "blackbox" tools available in many statistical and GIS packages. KDEs are subject to bias with small sample sizes and, in particular, are sensitive to a user-selected value termed "bandwidth". Here we explore the use of?-hulls, a generalization of MCPs, that greatly reduce the errors inherent in simple convex hulls.?-hulls provide a means for excluding discontinuities within a species range. Like MCPs,?-hulls are relatively simple to apply. Also like KDEs they include a user selected value termed "alpha". We provide suggested rules for the automated selection of an optimal alpha value. We compare and contrast the range estimates received from each method, using data from actual case studies, and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each in detail.?-hulls performed better than MCPs and while not significantly better than KDEs, they are much easier to implement and understand, the latter being an extremely valuable attribute when translating results to resource managers or the general public.

Information on the spatial and temporal occurrence of leatherbacks in New England waters has historically come from aerial surveys, sightings, strandings and entanglements in fishing gear. Their persistent presence suggests favorable foraging conditions along the coast and on the shelf during certain times of the year, although the environmental cues which determine their arrival, location and departure from the region remain unknown. Using a variety of data sources and GIS techniques I will analyze the temporal and spatial distribution of leatherback turtles in New England waters in relation to oceanographic (physical and biological) and climatic conditions. Despite significant progress in the management of pelagic fisheries with respect to sea turtle by-catch, the impact of coastal fisheries on leatherback populations remains poorly studied. Identifying areas and times of likely interaction between coastal fisheries and leatherbacks in the New England region will benefit management decisions for these fisheries and may help reduce the frequency of leatherback entanglements in this region.

Among the different actions set out by the Recovery Plan is the identification of threats to marine turtle populations on both the local scale and the regional scale, with targeted actions to reduce those threats as much as possible. The Recovery Plan specifically states that information on migratory behavior of marine turtles from the territorial waters of Guadeloupe is necessary to develop regional cooperative plans to conserve these protected species. Three species of marine turtles nest in Guadeloupe: hawksbill, leatherback and green turtles. Of these three, the green turtle appears to be the most vulnerable because they lay the fewest nests on the fewest beaches in the archipelago. Thus, the green turtle is afforded priority status in actions described by the Recovery Plan. As a first step, nesting green turtles were followed using satellite tags in order to describe their post-nesting foraging grounds and to develop an understanding of their migratory range. During the 2006 nesting season, satellite tags were deployed on nesting green turtles on two different nesting beaches: two turtles (Laeticia and Coccinelle) from the island of Marie-Galante and one turtle (Miss Ti-te) from the island of Petite-Terre. Each turtle nested between 1 and 3 times on or near the beach where they were fitted with the satellite tags. Within 24 hours of their last nest of the season, each turtle displayed clear migratory movement. Currently, 2 of the turtles have moved north of the archipelago: Miss Ti-te is in the waters off of St Kitts & Nevis (straight line distance = 194 km) and Coccinelle is in the waters off of Antigua (straight line distance = 144 km). Although both females are from different nesting beaches on different islands, they appeared to follow similar migratory routes: they moved north to Grande-Terre, then circled clockwise around Basse-Terre before heading to Montserrat, then St Kitts & Nevis or Antigua. For the moment, it appears that post-nesting green turtles from Guadeloupe remain in the Lesser Antilles, although longer tracking times and more tracked turtles are needed to verify this hypothesis. A review of available data from other tagging and satellite telemetry projects in the Lesser Antilles suggests that at least some post-nesting green turtles remain relatively close to their nesting beaches. This appears to be the case for hawksbill turtles as well, also based on data available from other projects. This information suggests that an effective regional conservation plan for these species should be focused on the level of the Lesser Antilles.

Although a large part of the Florida coastline is sandy beach suitable for sea turtle nesting, there are lengthy stretches with coastal armoring and other barriers. We defined barriers to nesting as structures that would prevent access to a portion of beach where nesting could occur. The vast majority of these structures were constructed by humans to protect buildings threatened by erosion (e.g., armoring), to allow human access to the beach (dune cross-overs), to keep aeolian transport of sand on the beach away from the dune (sand fencing), to defend property lines (other fencing), and to serve other needs such as recreation. Many of these structures are large, dense, and relatively permanent (e.g., concrete and rock), but may be covered and uncovered by the extensive sand movement from hurricanes. Other structures are less permanent and can be washed away by hurricane storm surge. Many categories of structures are built and re-built by property owners as a response to erosion near buildings constructed on the dunes. The purpose of this study was to measure changes in the linear extent of barriers to nesting following four major hurricanes striking Florida in 2004. Pre-hurricane measurements were made April 2001 to May 2002 in four regions of Florida: northeast, southeast, northwest, and southwest. We randomly selected 16 km in each region to be surveyed, for a total of 64 km throughout the four regions. We determined the position and extent of barriers using a differentially corrected global positioning system (GPS). In 2004, four hurricanes ranging in intensity from 2-4 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, struck Florida, affecting each of the four regions surveyed in this study. We conducted post-hurricane surveys in 2005 between May and November. We recorded both positive and negative changes in the linear extent of barriers to nesting. There was a net reduction of sand fencing in northeast and northwest Florida, and a net reduction of revetment rocks (a type of armoring) in the southwest region due to covering by sand. However, linear extent of barriers increased in northeast and southwest Florida due to seawall additions and additional sand fencing. In a previous survey of random, representative, beach lengths composing 24.5% of Florida's coastline, barriers to sea turtle nesting took up 18.0% of the total surveyed beach length.

Identifying, characterizing, and evaluating sea turtle habitat use over large geographic landscapes is central to the successful management and restoration of migratory populations. Two recent treaties in the Wider Caribbean Region (WCR) mandate that Parties collaborate in collecting these data and in managing shared populations, all of which have declined dramatically in the past 200 years. In support of this mandate, we conducted the first regional assessment of primary nesting habitat for all six Caribbean species. To gather baseline data we distributed questionnaires to primary data gatherers, including managers, researchers and conservationists, in more than 40 countries and territories and conducted a thorough literature review. Data providers identified the most important nesting sites for each species, and provided site information including: name, location, species nesting, annual number of crawls per species (binned as 1000), and monitoring status. A confidence level (high, moderate, low) determined by the date the data were collected, the nature of the monitoring effort, and the data source(s) was assigned to each nesting site. The data were assembled in an Excel database and represented spatially in several ArcGIS shapefiles. To date we have identified more than 750 discrete nesting sites (representing over 1300 species-specific nesting sites) from nearly every country and territory in the WCR. This unprecedented dataset has enabled the first comprehensive analysis of the distribution of critical nesting habitat in the Central Western Atlantic region, and revealed a number of important data gaps and opportunities for future study. Among the results is the finding that nearly half of all identified nesting sites support fewer than 25 crawls per species per year. In the case of Critically Endangered (cf. IUCN Redlist) hawksbill turtle, ca. 75% of all nesting sites associated with known crawl abundances support fewer than 25 crawls per year and 90% support fewer than 100 crawls/yr (less than 1% support 500 or more crawls/yr). Another important finding is that an annual crawl abundance could not be estimated for one-third of the more than 1300 species-specific nesting sites identified. As these sites are among the best known in the WCR, this implies that many areas still lack the necessary resources (financial, human, logistical, political) to support basic population monitoring, a reality with significant implications for evaluating national and regional population recovery efforts. The database will be maintained and updated by the Wider Caribbean Sea Turtle Conservation Network (WIDECAST). Follow-up efforts will collect data on critical foraging areas and migration routes. In assembling a spatial landscape of high use habitats in the WCR, the project offers valuable tools to support the management of regional sea turtle populations, identifies gaps and opportunities for future data collection, provides a foundation for the designation of a regional network of "index sites" for population monitoring, and contributes a template for other regions to follow.

AN - 20413849; 9094199 AB - The distribution of species in space and time is determined both by the natural history characteristics of a species as well as oceanographic and climatic factors that are often difficult or too time-consuming to reasonably quantify. However, the presence of a variety of taxa in a specific geographic location may indicate an important use area. Areas identified as valuable to a particular species or group of species based on their presence or absence may serve as a proxy for identifying important habitat where species-specific natural history information or relevant oceanographic data are not readily available. A cross-species approach is also more broadly applicable to marine conservation as a whole. By identifying areas that are useful to multiple species, we may implement the most protection for the least economic and spatial investment, factors particularly important in areas heavily reliant upon fishing, such as our study area in the waters surrounding the coastal states of northwest Mexico. The purpose of our study is to apply this cross-taxa approach for the conservation of migratory marine megafauna by mapping the distributions of several highly migratory species, including loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and green turtles (Chelonia mydas), in and around the Gulf of California, Mexico, to identify areas of overlap. We map species distribution using sighting data and establish a specific density threshold to determine whether the area is more valuable than other areas based on the presence or absence of individuals. Then using kernel analysis on telemetry data, we make a probabilistic determination of high-density areas which we term high-use, or "habitat" areas, for each of the species in order to differentiate between use areas and areas such as transitory corridors. Here we present the analyses for loggerhead turtles and green turtles in the waters of the Gulf and off the west coast of the Baja Peninsula. Loggerheads are not known to nest anywhere in the eastern Pacific and it is assumed that, within this region, their presence in a particular area indicates foraging behavior. The nearest nesting grounds for green turtles are over 1000km away, so their presence here is also assumed to be for foraging. In this area, loggerheads feed primarily on pelagic red crabs (Pleuroncodes planipes) and may come into conflict with local fisheries, creating the risk for bycatch. Green turtles are primarily herbivorous, but their presence in offshore waters makes them susceptible to bycatch as well. We map loggerhead and green turtle distribution in and around the Gulf to identify potentially important habitat. We then compare our habitat areas with the reserve system currently in place in the Gulf and along the west coast of the Baja Peninsula. The reserve system was not set up for the protection of migratory marine megafauna, with the exception of EI Vizcaino Biosphere Reserve in Baja California Sur, but it may prove to be vital in protecting species such as marine turtles if the locations of the reserves are congruent with high-use habitat.

One of the exceptions has been the population nesting on the Yucatan Peninsula (Mexico). During the 90s the abundance increased steadily and by 1999 reached a maximum of over 6,400 nests, representing about 40% of all reported nests in the Greater Caribbean. The incipient recovery was probably due to decades of protective measures at the national level which included the total ban on sea turtle take in 1990 and in the region with the implementation of similar national legislation and of CITES that significantly curtailed the extraction of this species. Nonetheless, and in spite of continued nesting beach conservation, nestings declined drastically, reaching less than 2,400 between 2000-2004; a 63% drop in barely 5 years. This event prompted urgent attention both within the country and outside. In 2005 a technical meeting of government conservation agencies, academia and NGOs analyzed the information available to identify priority actions. It also highlighted the persistence of serious gaps in knowledge, monitoring capacity and law-enforcement particularly for the hawksbill's life stages in the marine habitats. Over the next two years, greater attention has been directed to studies on the levels of turtle use in the region, satellite tracking of post-nesting hawksbill females, and re-analyses of long-term tagging data. The Interamerican Convention for the Protection and Conservation of Marine Turtles, has also played a key role, recently passing a resolution exhorting Parties to look for synergy between international instruments, monitor use and traffic of hawksbills, and strengthen key research lines. Although important advances have been obtained, adequate knowledge is scanty and new obstacles now include large tourist development that can place at risk the long-term integrity of the breeding environment of the species. This presentation provides a review of the advances, status of the populations nesting in the Yucatan Peninsula and the remaining challenges.

Five islands form this archipelago, including the large island of Katrack, which is bordered by mangroves and has a 20 km long beach. The only other island with some beach is the smaller Kapken Island. This area was designated as a Ramsar site in 1992, and supports a rich biodiversity that has not been well studied. So far, no study on sea turtles had been undertaken on these islands. The present study did not confirmed nesting by loggerheads in this area even though it has been reported by the local people. Hawksbills nest on Katrack and occasionally on Kapken. Meat and eggs are consumed by the local villagers. Strandings of adult and subadult green turtles are common on the beach of Katrack. Kakriti and Katimiri (localities of Katrack) would constitute possible developmental areas for hawksbills and greens. The small island of Alcatraz called "Island of the Birds", also classified as a Ramsar site, is not a nesting area, but turtles are found in its waters.

We deployed satellite tags on thirteen nesting female loggerheads at a major rookery in the Gulf of Mexico to establish their spatial ecology in relation to potential threats. The path analysis yielded valuable insights into the extent of movements within the intemesting period, along divergent post-nesting migrations, and for home ranges established at a foraging residency. We compare track paths in relation to local zones of potential hazard, including offshore dredging, boat traffic near inlets, and harmful algal blooms. We compare estimated swim speeds during internesting, post-nesting, and foraging periods. We establish home ranges from fixed kernel estimates, including 50% and 95% estimates to determine core areas within the foraging residency. A limited subset of females gave information on seasonal shifts of home range in response to changing water temperature. Hurricanes did not appear to affect most turtles, but we report an instance of a turtle moved over 300 km by currents generated by Tropical Storm Alberto. We examine case studies of turtles that swam to final residency whereupon turtles circled in a predictable fashion as if reorienting. Four females undertook relatively short (50-288 km) and coastal migrations that were largely unaffected by current systems. Eight females undertook long migrations (613-1235 km) that were international or an open ocean path that crossed major currents. One female was an outlier with an entirely uncharacteristic intemesting and post-nesting migration that requires some additional scrutiny. We evaluated the track paths with respect to remotely sensed oceanographic data. Turtles headed SE encountered a following stream with the Florida Current, those headed SW encountered two cross-currents from the Gulf of Mexico Loop Current, and those heading NW encountered a counter flow of the Loop Current.

Since 1990, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) and the National Aquarium in Baltimore (NAIB) have worked cooperatively to respond to sea turtle strandings within Maryland waters, including the Chesapeake Bay. MDNR responds primarily to dead sea turtle strandings, while NAIB responds to and rehabilitates live sea turtles. In addition to strandings, in 2001 MDNR implemented a sea turtle tagging and health assessment study in the Maryland portion of the Chesapeake Bay. Working cooperatively with local watermen, sea turtles incidentally caught in pound nets, a type of passive, stationary fishing gear used to catch finfish, are photographed, measured, weighed, sampled for tissue and blood, tagged (flipper and PIT), and released. MDNR maintains a positive relationship with local watermen to assess and monitor sea turtle populations within Maryland waters. Few live sea turtle entanglements in commercial or recreational fishing gear have been documented in the Maryland waters since 1990, but during the summer of 2006 two sea turtles were reported through MDNR's pound net project showing trauma from recreational fishing-related injuries. The injuries were not associated with incidental capture in the pound net, but occurred prior to the animals entering the net. On June 7, 2006 an underweight Kemp's Ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys kempii) measuring 13.0 kg and 45.7 cm (notch to tip curved carapace length (ccl)) was caught. MDNR staff identified monofilament fishing line trailing from the mouth, with a presumed esophageal fishhook. The monofilament line extending from the mouth had caused severe ulceration and injury to oral mucosa and muscle. MDNR staff attempted extraction of the fishhook with the dehooking kit issued by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) but were unable to remove the hook. The animal was transported to NAIB, where medical staff were able to successfully remove the hook using a combination of the NMFS dehooking equipment and endoscopy. The animal underwent three months of rehabilitation to allow wound healing and weight gain, and was equipped with a satellite tag and released on September 8, 2006. On July 27, 2006, an underweight loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) measuring 49.0 kg and 80.6 cm (ccl), was incidentally captured, and recreational fishing line was found entangled and constricted around the right front flipper, nearly severing the flipper mid-humerus. The animal was transported to NAIB, where a successful amputation of the flipper was performed. At the time of submission of this abstract, the animal is still at NAIB for long-term rehabilitation. If the animal is successfully rehabilitated, it will be released with a satellite tag for long term follow-up. These two case studies reflect how positive cooperative relationships between local watermen, private stranding facilities, and governmental agencies to efficiently respond to, rehabilitate, and release entangled sea turtles in Maryland.

In 2005, sand from inland quarries was used to restore the dunes to help protect coastal properties along 74% of the refuge. The remaining 26% remained unaltered. The sand also provided increased reproductive habitat for the three species of marine turtles nesting on the refuge. The real extent of restored nesting habitat is not necessarily the most important factor in restoration; the suitability of physical attributes also determine habitat quality. The physical characteristics of the newly placed sand potentially differ from those of the natural sand. These differences in sand characteristics may alter the incubation environment, affecting the temperatures found within the nests. Temperature is important in sex determination as well as the proper development of incubating eggs. We studied these engineered dune areas one year post construction to determine if any differences in clutch temperatures existed. To determine if temperatures in nests deposited in natural and engineered dune areas varied, temperature data loggers were placed in the center of green turtle clutches on the night of oviposition. Results were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA to determine any variation in mean temperature between the two treatments and how this affects reproductive success (the percentage of eggs that produce hatchlings which emerge from the nest). Florida is one of the United States' major nesting grounds for green turtles. The importance of the ACNWR as a rookery has increased as the number of green turtle nests has risen sharply over the past two decades. As the value of this beach as a marine turtle nesting habitat increases, it is important to maintain attributes that continue to provide a proper incubation environment. It is the stated policy of the National Wildlife Refuge System that, "wildlife comes first." As management of the Carr Refuge beach intensifies, the maintenance of habitat conducive to marine turtle reproduction should assume primacy over coastal development and related issues, if that objective is to be met.

AN - 20413721; 9094158 AB - Atlantic leatherback sea turtles migrate annually from foraging grounds off eastern Canada and the northeastern United States to southern foraging and breeding areas. Using a Cox proportional hazard model, we investigated the timing of 32 southward migrations of subadult and adult male and female turtles equipped with satellite-linked transmitters off Nova Scotia. Our results suggest significant effects of maturity, latitude and longitude on departure date. Carapace length, sex and sea surface temperature were not significantly related to date of migration. Based on these effects, we estimate that 50 and 95 percent departure dates for turtles in different northern foraging areas can differ by more than a month.

Nest site fidelity is a metric of the juxtaposition of multiple nests laid by an individual within a single season. Variability in nest site fidelity of loggerheads has been noted through tagging studies. However, these results are limited in scope as total coverage of nesting areas is not possible resulting in partial and skewed data for describing the behavior. For example, quantitative measures of fidelity (e.g. maximum distance between nests) become inherently underestimated if turtles deposit nests long distances away from their other nests that consistently go unobserved. We used satellite telemetry to describe nest site fidelity for loggerhead turtles (n = 22) of the northern subpopulation of the U.S. nesting aggregate and to determine if turtle size predicted the behavior. Observations occurred during the 2004 and 2005 nesting seasons with our capture efforts to attach transmitters and tags beginning mid to late May each season. Satellite locations, which have relatively low precision, were linked to nest locations identified and GPSed (high precision location) by beach monitoring crews. The GPS coordinates of turtle nest sites were then used to calculate mean distance between nesting events and the maximum total shore line each turtle used to deposit all its nests. Satellite locations correctly linked with proper emergence locations 100% of the time when later compared with visually confirmed observations (n = 13) by nighttime field crews of study animals during nesting attempts. During our analysis we identified multiple behaviors of nest site fidelity in the study population. Turtles expressed either strict nest site fidelity by consistently nesting in a specific localized area (n = 16; 72.7%), or loose nest site fidelity by nesting within a more broad region (n = 6; 27.2%). On average, strict nest site fidelity turtles placed all nests within a 2.94 ( plus or minus 0.87) km stretch of beach (range 0.82 - 6.55 km). Conversely, loose nest site fidelity turtles on average deposited all nests within 41.57 ( plus or minus 15.84) km of beach (range 17.59 - 64.55 km). However, turtle size (curved carapace length) was not a good predictor (r = -0.032; P = 0.50) of nest site fidelity (maximum distance between nests). Based on observations of the nesting habits of northern subpopulation loggerheads reported by Richardson (1980), and Hawkes et al. (2005) - both used tagging project data - the majority of our tracked turtles were expected to exhibit loose nest site fidelity. Instead, the contrary was observed with 27.3% of observed turtles exhibiting the behavior. Familiarity to specific nesting sites is thought to provide advantages for reproductive success to individuals, creating a plausible mechanism for evolution of strict fidelity turtles. Furthermore, a reduced expression of loose nest site fidelity among the population may be a relic of past climate changes like ice ages when that trait would likely have been highly adaptable, but since such time, has waned.

This includes oversight of permitted individuals conducting sea turtle nesting surveys along approximately 1300km of beach each year. In addition to the nesting data collected, permit holders also report sea turtle disorientation data. During the 2004 nesting season, Florida experienced elevated hurricane activity with direct impacts from 4 major storms. Immediate impacts from the storm included nest loss due to inundation or erosion, accretion of sand atop of nests, decreased hatching success, and loss of nesting habitat due to erosion. Lingering effects included damage to the beach and dune environments resulting in a variety of problems for nesting and emergent sea turtles. Persistent erosion resulted in less suitable nesting habitat for female turtles. Loss of and damage to both dune vegetation and habitable structures increased the number of lights visible from the beach and complicated sea-finding behavior. Emergency dune reconstruction and sand placement with gentle slopes allowed physical access to areas previously unattainable to both nesting and hatching sea turtles. During the 2005 nesting season, several hurricane-impacted counties along the east coast of Florida documented increased sea turtle disorientation events when compared with the previous 10-year county averages. However, several hurricane-impacted counties along the west coast and panhandle of Florida reported fewer sea turtle disorientation events when compared with the previous 10-year county averages. Statewide there was an increase in the number of disorientation events, as well as an increase in the number of both hatchlings and adults being disoriented, despite less overall nesting.

Postfrenzy loggerheads, days to weeks old, are often found resting in flotsam (typically Sargassum), but green turtles of comparable age "disappear". In this study, we compared (i) the frenzy and postfrenzy activity of the two species to determine how long they were active, (ii) how they responded to flotsam under laboratory and field conditions, and (iii) whether experience played a role in habitat (flotsam) selection. Ten hatchlings about to emerge from six nests of each species served as subjects in the laboratory experiments. They were placed that night in either a large tank without ("unexposed") or with ("exposed") Sargassum located on one side of the tank. Location and activity of the exposed turtles were recorded three times daily (morning, afternoon, after dark) for three days. Green turtles showed a significantly longer frenzy period than loggerheads, manifested by higher levels of activity over all three days (X2 probabilities < 0.01). During the postfrenzy, green turtles rested in flotsam during the day, and flotsam or open water at night, while loggerheads rested either in flotsam or open water, regardless of photophase. During most observations, inactive green turtles spent significantly more time in flotsam than open water, compared to loggerheads (X2 probabilities < 0.001). On day 4, exposed turtles were removed and housed together with the unexposed turtles in another tank and, that evening, five turtles from each group were returned to the test tank which now contained floating artificial (plastic green) flotsam on one side, Sargassum on the opposite side, and open water in between the two mats. Observations on day 5 revealed that loggerheads were evenly distributed between flotsam types and the open water, whereas green turtles preferred flotsam. The unexposed and exposed loggerheads showed no differences in habitat choice, suggesting that prior exposure to Sargassum had no effect. Exposed green turtles, however, showed a significant preference for Sargassum over plastic plants, compared to the unexposed turtles. Posthatchling loggerheads and green turtles were taken offshore and released simultaneously on opposite sides of Sargassum mats. The proportion of turtles of each species that crawled into the flotsam did not differ statistically (13 of 17 loggerheads and 11 of 17 green turtles; Fisher Exact Test p = 0.71). Loggerheads that crawled on the mat rested near the surface where they were easily seen from a boat by human observers, but green turtles concealed themselves by hiding within the mat. Loggerheads choosing open water stopped swimming and remained near the mat. Green turtles choosing open water swam away. The field data, like the laboratory results, suggest that green turtles seek refuge in flotsam. They also indicate why green turtles are rarely observed in Sargassum. Unlike loggerheads, green turtles do not occupy the mat surface.

The Florida green turtle was listed as endangered under the U.S. Endangered Species Act in 1978 and was afforded varying levels of protection under Florida law prior to the federal listing. Nesting is concentrated along the central east coast but extends southward around the tip of the peninsula and along the southwest Florida coast. The nesting trend for the Florida green turtle is increasing, as determined from index nesting beach surveys conducted since 1989. From 1994 - 2000 we used satellite telemetry to track 16 post-nesting Florida green turtles from the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge and three male Florida green turtles captured nearshore along the central Florida east coast. Nesting Florida green turtles were tagged during the latter part of the nesting season in order to maximize the likelihood of elucidating post-nesting migratory routes and resident areas. Three of the post-nesting females were recaptured in subsequent nesting seasons (2-6 years later) and satellite tagged again to examine fidelity to both migratory routes and resident areas. Male green turtles were captured during the breeding season in the intake canal of the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant, on the east Florida coast, and are the first adult male Florida green turtles to be tracked using satellite telemetry. Females typically departed from the vicinity of the nesting beach within days of their last nesting event and arrived at their resident areas within days to a few weeks. Sufficient data were received from eleven of the sixteen post-nesting females and two of the three males to identify resident areas. Tracking periods ranged 26 to 430 days with a mean of 117 days. Resident areas were well-defined and relatively small and were within Florida waters extending from the northern Florida Keys to Cape Sable along the southwest Florida coast for all but one female who migrated to the Bahamas. The three females tagged in subsequent seasons migrated to essentially the same resident areas, only one (the Bahamas migrant) took a slightly different return route. Males occupied similar resident habitat as females. Our findings underscore the critical importance of Florida waters to adult Florida green turtles, provide important information for shaping marine habitat protection, and shed light on contributing factors to the beginning of a likely recovery phase for this endangered population.

The discovery of their migration to the Eastern North Atlantic raised the scientific effort of their studies in Azorean waters. Behavioral studies of juvenile loggerheads have been conducted in the Azores archipelago using satellite telemetry since 1994. During 2000, 16 juvenile loggerheads were instrumented with SLTDR's (Wildlife Computers). The positions of each turtle were used to map the movements. Also the diving behavior of each turtle was analyzed. The tracks were layered with a bathymetrical image using ArcGIS (v. 9.1, ESRI) to relate bathymetric features, such as seamounts, with the distribution and diving behavior of this species.

The data include approximately 8,000-10,000 emergence locations per nesting season identified by global positioning system units with sub-meter accuracy. We define 1997 as the year before construction, 1998 the year of construction and 1999-2000 as post construction years. We conduct a spatial analysis by estimating the density of emergences (number of emergences per unit length of beach) as a smooth function of beach location. This approach reveals a significant decrease in density near the pier in the second post-construction year (2000) in contrast to pre-construction (1997). The ratio of total emergence densities between 1997 to 2000 (364-650 feet north of the pier) is 1.39 and is 1.24 between 2000 and 1997 (.49-.53 miles south of the pier). This approach also reveals a distributional shift in the locations of nests comparing the second year post construction and pre-construction even though the emergence counts are similar. Three species of sea turtles (loggerhead (Caretta caretta), green (Chelonia mydas) and leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea)) nest on Juno Beach, but in different proportions (loggerheads comprise 90.5% of all emergences, greens 9% and leatherbacks .5%). We investigate the relationship between total emergence density from 1997 to 2000 by species. The results for loggerheads are similar to those for all species because the loggerheads comprise the vast majority of our data. This said, we do observe quantifiable differences in the impact of the pier on green turtles compared to loggerheads. For green turtles the ratio of total emergence densities comparing 1997 to 2000 (3 miles south of the pier) is 1.8 and between 2000 and 1997 is 1.75 (.6 miles south of the pier). There is a significant decrease in total emergence density for loggerheads in the vicinity of the pier where post construction emergence patterns change to within .5 miles north or south of the pier. However, for the green sea turtles there is not the same significant decrease in the vicinity of pier. The post construction pattern for green turtles show increased emergences several miles north and south of the pier.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Resource allocation - splitting the turtle AN - 20413029; 9094192 AB - Most sea turtle populations throughout the globe suffer from a variety of threatening processes, many of which are difficult to manage or eliminate. Moreover, it is becoming increasingly apparent that management actions need to be developed at a multi-disciplinary level and be at ecologically relevant scales. The northern Great Barrier Reef green turtle population is one of the largest in the world, yet recent research is showing some worrying signs. This population is subject to several threatening processes that occur at various spatial and temporal scales. In particular the population, regarded locally as a fishery, is exposed to both legal traditional (Australia and south Pacific nations) and commercial (PNG and Indonesia) hunting throughout much of its range. One recently proposed management strategy for the nGBR green turtle population is the development of Total Allowable Catch "quotas" for the Torres Strait region. In this project we conducted comprehensive literature and interview based surveys to assess, and quantify all known "post juvenile recruitment" threats to the population. We then developed a matrix to examine these threats for potential management actions, the economic and social costs of managing each threat and the likelihood of success. Based on this matrix we found that TACs have the potential to place a disproportionate share of the costs associated with management on communities, and could lead to conflict between communities as TACs are negotiated - especially in light of the poor knowledge of population status.

Loggerheads (Caretta caretta) and green turtles (Chelonia mydas) nest on the island. Almost 20 km of nesting beaches (8 km of them within a Marine National Park) have been protected by the local and Federal governments for about 20 years. This portion of the eastern coast, were turtles nests are monitored, is divided in 11 beaches which have different lengths, morphology and nesting activity. The northern half of the Caribbean coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, where Cozumel Island is located, is the area most frequently struck by hurricanes in Mexico. The year 2005 had an atypically good turtle nesting season, with the greatest amount of nests registered in 15 years (n=1987). Paradoxically, it also had a severe hurricane season, with two strong hurricanes Emily (July 16th) and Wilma (October 21st), the most powerful hurricane ever registered in the Atlantic, hitting the island. Both hurricanes occurred during the nesting season, affecting nests directly (because of tide, waves and sand erosion) and indirectly (due to exposure to sun and predators). We assessed the effects of the hurricane Emily on sea turtle nests on Cozumel Island, considering the variability between the different beaches. We located and marked sea turtle nests on the 11 beaches before the hurricane impact. After the hurricane we measured nest survival and evaluated hatchling success and predation rates. We found that some beaches had significantly more clutches than others (Caretta caretta chi-square=103.2, pChelonia mydas chi-square=850.9, pF = 1.33; p = 0.28). Predation rates were affected by hurricane impact. We assessed beach characteristics that may have influenced these patterns. These results are useful to direct conservation efforts and resources to the most vulnerable beaches, resulting in a more efficient use of resources and a more effective protection of these species on the island.

Such had been the rationale behind the proposals to create two regional networks focusing on the conservation, research and monitoring of sea turtles at the Mediterranean ENGO and intergovernmental level: 'MEDSETCON' -Mediterranean Sea Turtle Conservation Network-proposed in 1999) and a 'Clearing-House Mechanism for Marine turtle Populations in the Mediterranean' (proposed in 2001). 'A network amplifies and disseminates ideas, research and information to an extent that could not be achieved by individuals or institutions alone' (Stone: 2002:3). Despite initial unanimous endorsement by Mediterranean ENGOs, neither of these proposals displays a foreseeable future, a fact that begs explanation. Based on extensive archival data (draft documents, resolutions passed, email communications, experts' opinion, survey data etc.) we investigate to which extent these failures can be accounted for in terms of ENGOs' differences in (a) available resources -to be committed to this endeavour-, (b) ideology -e.g. 'ecology' vs. 'conservation' positions, 'environment' vs. 'economy' positions and so on-or (c) a mix of both (Dalton, Recchia, and Rohrschneider, 2003; Rohrschneider and Dalton, 2002). Although this is a work in progress, the initial information analysis suggests that the heretofore failure to establish an operational network could be attributed to the variety of capabilities and level of commitment of the actors involved: namely, some ENGOs, albeit willing to participate, lacked both material resources and technical know-how to spearhead these initiatives, while others more affluent and established, lacked the willingness to actively engage in setting up of the network. Issues of ideological differences do not seem to play a prominent role in the outcome, although one cannot dismiss the possibility that lack of previous experience in broad, transnational cooperation (i.e. at the Mediterranean level) is sustained, in a 'loop' fashion, by a culture of ENGO-'particularism', a situation where the actors are more interested or limited to the 'particular' (i.e. national) scope of their work and are unable to function within a broader context. National, piecemeal approaches to sea turtle protection in the Mediterranean are insufficient in initiating, implementing or facilitating comprehensive integrated conservation actions on a regional level.

AN - 20412933; 9094164 AB - Aves Island Wildlife Refuge has been monitored since the seventies because it is recognized as an important nesting area for the green turtle (Chelonia mydas) in the Caribbean. However, courtship and mating events that occur there have never been reported. Observations of mating activity in the vicinity of Aves Island began in 2005 and 2006 for the project "Monitoring and conservation of green turtle (Chelonia mydas) population in Aves Island Wildlife Refuge." Because the research priority is focused on the nesting activities, in-water observations of the turtles were conducted for a few days of each month using binoculars from the highest part (21 meters) of the naval base. The preliminary data determined that the courtship and mating activity occurred between the end of May and the beginning of October, an observation which is similar to results from other mating areas around the world. In the early stages of the breeding period, the presence of males is higher than females and pairs are scarce. In general, the animals are observed in areas of water depth between 8 to 15 meters and where the movement of the waves is low. The mating activity peaked in July, from four matings per day to sometimes ten or twelve when nocturnal matings were observed. The pairs were typically surrounded by three to six males. After July, the number of events is highly variable with less pairs per day and occuring farther from shore (>600 meters). By the middle of August and during September, the mating activity returned to the areas where the observer was able to see the events, registering normally one or two per day. The observations permitted the detection of a pair located 6 to 8 meters from the coast, making it possible to tag a male green turtle after many years. These sightings were complemented with some snorkeling, to try to get information about the bottom characteristics of mating areas. The work developed at Aves Island shows that this could be the most important sea turtle courtship and mating area in the Wider Caribbean. The minimum human activity in this area is a favorable condition for mating activity. To get better results, observation effort must be increased, and activity periods must be more precisely established and ranked. At the same time, it is vital to get higher resolution binoculars and night vision equipment, and to use adequate boats to check the sites farther offshore. The island is an excellent area for an in-depth study on breeding behavior, as well as a study site to collect DNA samples to elucidate the parental contributions to offspring.

The objectives of this study were to: (1) predict where and when Kemp's ridley turtles would lay additional clutches during a nesting season, (2) investigate movements and habitat utilization during and after the nesting season, (3) compare movements and habitat utilization of wild and head-started individuals, and (4) compare movements and habitat utilization during successive tracking periods. This was the first study initiated to investigate the movements and habitat utilization by Kemp's ridley turtles that nested in the U.S.A., to compare the movements of wild and head-started adult Kemp's ridley turtles, and to compare the movements of individual Kemp's ridley turtles during and after different nesting seasons. Twenty-eight Kemp's ridley turtles that nested in south Texas, U.S.A. were outfitted with satellite (UHF) radio transmitters. These Telonics ST-6/ST-20 Platform Transmitter Terminals (PTTs) were configured in a backpack style and attached to the anterior of each turtle's carapace using thin layers of fiberglass cloth and polyester resin. PTTs were programmed with a transmission (duty) cycle of 6 h on/6 h off to extend the battery life. Transmitters were deployed during the months of April, May, and June, between the years of 1997 and 2006 (2-4 per year). The turtles selected for this study were the first uninjured individuals encountered during a nesting season. Thirty-six PTTs were deployed on the 28 individuals, with one individual receiving three successive PTTs, six receiving two successive PTTs, and 21 receiving one PTT. Seventeen of the turtles tracked were wild, nine had been experimentally imprinted to Padre Island National Seashore and head-started, and two had been taken directly from Mexico as hatchlings and head-started. Head-started individuals ranged from 12-19 years of age when the PTTs were applied. Turtle movements were monitored via satellite until transmissions ceased due to transmitter detachment or failure. All data were screened to eliminate land locations, duplicate points, points where the rate of movement of a turtle between two consecutive locations exceeded 6 km/hour, and locations that were obviously inaccurate. Data were received from individual PTTs for 1-15 months. Most identified positions were in 20 fathoms water depth or less. Tracking data were successfully used to predict where and when some of the turtles laid additional clutches in south Texas within a nesting season. Most of the tracked turtles left south Texas and traveled northward, parallel to the coastline, after they completed nesting for the season, with their last identified locations in the northern or eastern Gulf of Mexico. However, four briefly traveled southward to waters off the coast of Mexico and then moved northward. Three turtles remained in south Texas waters through the entire tracking period, but the tracking periods for these three were among the shortest recorded. Movements of wild and head-started turtles and movements of individuals during and after different nesting seasons were generally similar.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Strengthening sea turtle conservation on the Baja California peninsula: understanding threats, generating knowledge and developing solutions AN - 20412442; 9094198 AB - The Grupo Tortuguero works with local communities to recover migratory sea turtle species and reverse declines of diversity, complexity and connectivity of ocean basins. The objectives of this project are: 1) to build a diverse network of fishermen, students, teachers, activists, researchers, funders, managers, indigenous community members and other coastal citizens.; 2) draw on these relationships to understand threats, generate new knowledge and develop locally-appropriate solutions and 3) empower local leaders to communicate the conservation message and share these solutions widely. The results of 5 years of scientific study and developing new knowledge will be presented here. In order to obtain critical information on abundance, mortality and biology of sea turtles, the Grupo Tortuguero has continuously monitored sea turtle populations at coastal foraging sites along the Baja California peninsula since 2001. Community teams, comprised mostly of local fishermen, implement monthly in-water mark-recapture programs, survey index beaches for stranded sea turtles, and document evidence of sea turtle poaching/consumption in their communities. These monitoring surveys have been designed in conjunction with NMFS-SWC La Jolla scientists and allow us to quantitatively track changes in juvenile turtle populations on developmental sites, as well as the success of our efforts to reduce threats to sea turtles (poaching and bycatch). This long term scientific effort has provided valuable information about the sea turtles inhabiting the region, including the number of organisms in each area, size class and species distribution. Furthermore, the collaboration of the monitoring teams with research institutions has helped in the evaluation of sea turtle population health in the region, and with this new understandings of the interaction between turtles and human consumers have arisen. Together with our community monitoring teams, we are continuously working to use scientific knowledge to develop new strategies for sea turtle conservation. Examples of these strategies are the modification of fishing gear to reduce incidental capture of sea turtles, conducting aerial surveys to locate areas of high abundance of sea turtles in order to establish areas free of fishing, and identification of other economic activities, such as ecotourism, that are beneficial for communities and promote the conservation of sea turtles.

One of the most urgent problems was defined as the ignorance of migratory patterns and the location of feeding and sheltering grounds for the post-nesting hawksbill females in the region. To address this issue, we are tracking three post-nesting hawksbill females that were captured at their nesting beaches in Campeche, Mexico. We attached satellite transmitters to adult sea turtles, programmed for 24 hrs on. They have been tracked for more than 75 days, traveling more than 1,000 km each, and all have remained in Mexican waters. After being tagged on the nesting beach, the first female, Jolbej, stayed near the coast and after 16 days she returned to the original nesting beach to lay another clutch, and then she began her migration close to the coastline to the area of Isla Contoy and Isla Mujeres at the northeast corner of the Yucatan Peninsula. The second female, Xinxinbaal, started her migration right after she was released, taking 10 days to reach her last known destination at 117 km northwest of Campeche City. The third turtle, Kaansaj, nested again 14 days after her initial release, but on a beach 100 km southwest from the original beach. After nesting the second time, she followed a similar track to Jolbej, until she reached a shallow area in front of Holbox Island at the northeast of the Peninsula. The first and second females are the first two records of nesting hawksbills migrating from Campeche to this area. We calculated the home range (Minimum Convex Polygon) along the tracking days to determine the minimum time to get the final home range area for those turtles. All turtles have been registering characteristic dive patterns during their migrating and resting days, showing differences in their diving behaviors between day and night along their migrating and stationary periods. This type of analysis is proposed as a double check tool for behavior data to define if the turtle is already settled or still migrating. We are integrating the tracking data with biological (reefs, seagrasses) and physical (bathymetry) data as well as potential threats (fishing grounds and seismic surveys) into GIS. We have obtained information about hawksbill migratory patterns, feeding grounds and interactions between anthropogenic activities and sea turtles and their critical habitats in the Yucatan Peninsula.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - First assessment of marine turtle activity in the Democratic Republic Of Congo AN - 20412404; 9094197 AB - Three species of sea turtle are found in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC): the olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea), the leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea), and the green turtle (Chelonia mydas). In 1982, a law was established to protect threatened species in the DRC and along the Congolese coast; the DRC is also a signatory to the Memorandum of Abidjan for the conservation of sea turtles along Atlantic Africa. However, a study in November 2005 indicated that the main threats to sea turtles are direct consumption and commercial trade. In a period of two weeks, 85 olive ridleys, 37 leatherbacks, and 8 green turtles that had been killed in the villages, in the market at Muanda, and in fishing encampments were counted. More studies are now needed to identify the nesting areas and to determine which species nest in the DRC. The role of the local communities will also be taken into consideration to ensure an effective conservation and management program.

Each project or application provides an opportunity to determine and improve efficiency and effectiveness of light management techniques. In 1997 Sarasota County adopted a Marine Turtle Protection Code providing lighting standards for new and existing coastal development and publicly-owned lighting adjacent to important nesting habitat. While lighting standards guide the property owner to compliance, the standards do not provide solutions for all situations where lighting necessary for public safety is difficult to shield, and lighting replacement may be cost prohibitive or lacking in suitable options. Several scientific studies have demonstrated that the spectral properties of specific light sources have varying degrees of impact on marine turtle species. The Florida Marine Research Institute Technical Reports, "Understanding, Assessing and Resolving Light-Pollution Problems on Sea Turtle Nesting Beaches" (Witherington & Martin 2000) indicates that long-wavelength light sources (low-pressure sodium vapor, red light-emitting diode (LED) lighting, true neon, etc.) are far preferable to short-wavelength light (high pressure sodium vapor, mercury-vapor, metal-halide, fluorescent, etc.). Acknowledging that there is no "turtle-friendly" artificial light source, Sarasota County staff have pursued best available technology and light management techniques involving long-wavelength light sources. Monochromatic light filters, monochromatic coated lamps, and red LED light sources are utilized to address coastal lighting that provide for pedestrian safety and vehicular ingress, egress and parking in close proximity to sea turtle nesting beaches. Each project or application has been measured for performance, some revealing more success than others. LITERATURE CITED Witherington, B.E., and R.E. Martin. 2000.

Eight of the transmitters were KiwiSats 101 supplied by SirTrack and four were Series 9000x SRDLs produced by the Sea Mammal Research Unit. All PTTs were attached dorsally to the female turtles during nesting using a custom-fitted harness made of nylon webbing and polyvinyl tubing, and designed to be released within approximately two years. Tracking duration ranged from 23 days to 443 days, with an average of 185 days. The KiwiSats had an average duration of 159 days, while the SDLRs sent information for an average of 238 days. One SRDL unit continues to transmit data after 120 days (transmitter was deployed on June 16, 2006). Nine of the 12 tracks provided sufficient tracking data to establish a migratory route out of the Caribbean and were extensive enough to suggest possible foraging areas. Of these, four were tracked to the Gulf of Mexico by traveling between the western tip of Cuba and the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. The remaining five leatherback turtles were tracked from the Caribbean Sea into the northern Atlantic Ocean, either through the passage between Cuba and Haiti (2) or the passage between the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico (3). Within the Gulf of Mexico, three leatherbacks stayed within the eastern part of the Gulf off of the coasts of Florida and Alabama, while the forth is currently in the western Gulf of Mexico. The leatherbacks reaching the North Atlantic Ocean either stayed close to the Atlantic coast of North America (2), traveled near Bermuda (2) until reaching the waters off of Nova Scotia, Canada, or traveled straight across the North Atlantic Ocean to waters north of the Azores Islands. There have been recorded sightings of leatherbacks throughout the Gulf of Mexico, in both near shore and offshore waters, as well as flipper tag recoveries from females tagged on nesting beaches in Caribbean Central America. Our tracking research indicates that these animals may be foraging rather than just migrating through the Gulf of Mexico. We conclude that the Gulf of Mexico may represent a significant foraging ground for leatherbacks from the Caribbean coast of Central America. While jellyfish populations in the Gulf of Mexico have been increasing for over a decade, the summer of 2000 saw a population explosion of both native and invasive jellies. Although it is not possible to determine from our study, the increased occurrence of sightings and the movements of leatherback turtles in the Gulf of Mexico could be related to the increase in available prey items associated with the growth in jellyfish abundance. There is also the possibility that leatherback by-catch in fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico could be contributing to the slight decline in nests observed on index nesting beaches in Caribbean Costa Rica.

The coast of Chennai is the nesting site of the endangered olive ridley sea turtles. The nesting beaches of the fishing villages, such as, Periya Neelangarai, Injambakkam, Panaiyur, Nainar kuppam - Uthandi and Reddy Kuppam - Kanathur are patrolled by the youth of the fishing community of respective villages. They have been initiated by Tree Foundation from the year 2002 to protect, relocate the eggs and release the hatchlings in the sea on a volunteer basis. These volunteers are known as the "KADAL AAMAI PADHUKAVALRGALL" (SEA TURTLE PROTECTION FORCE). This initiation of community conservation of olive ridley sea turtles has progressed in the last four years from the protection of 27 nests to 90 nests and releasing of 2222 hatchlings to 8821 hatchlings. Also in the year 2006 there was no illegal poaching of eggs and no loss of nests to predators. This paper also elucidates the methods of motivation adopted to spread the awareness of the role and importance of the sea turtles in the coastal marine bio-diversity. The main programs conducted for educating the fishing community are - one day environmental education workshops for the youth and children at zoos, sanctuaries, etc., slide shows, (in the fishing villages and at 11 Panchayat, Aided and Private Schools along the East Coast Road covering 10,062 children), sand model competitions, street plays, puppet shows, peace rallies, the Pungamiya plantation for bio-diesel project, youth workshops to form men self-help groups, sea turtle awareness programs for the trawl boat and mechanized fishing community at the Kasimedu fishing harbour. MEASURABLE SOCIAL IMPACT times More than 6000 fisher folks of the five villages made to understand the role of the turtle in the coastal marine bio diversity times 13 fishing villages covered in awareness programmes times Around 422 youth volunteering as KAP members times All the children in the above fishing villages have stopped playing Cricket with the turtle eggs which used to be their earlier pass time times The Wildlife Wing of the forest Department's joint Program with TREE Foundation's KAP (Sea Turtle Protection Force) in 2005-2006, increased awareness among the fishing community. I would like to thank the ISTS for accommodation and the Ford Foundation for their financial support to attend the symposium.

However, this is the first known study to document and record the effects of plant roots in leatherback nests. Roots dehydrate eggs and trap hatchlings. Hatchlings emerging from the nests may be trapped in the vine networks so they do not reach the water. From May to July 2006, we investigated the effects of beach vegetation on the nest environment and leatherback productivity rates, at Sandy Point Wildlife Refuge in St. Croix, USVI. Nest productivity was defined as hatching and emergence success rates. Thirty-five nests were relocated to two pairs of replicated experimental plots (two with undisturbed vegetation and two with vegetation mechanically removed prior to the start of relocation, VG and VR, respectively) and a control plot that was free of vegetation at the start of the nesting season. No plant removal occurred after nesting season started so plants growing seaward could invade nests. Before and during incubation, water table and rainfall were measured at the sites to assess potential moisture. Entire clutches were caught during oviposition and randomly assigned to each of the plots. The eggs were then left to incubate undisturbed until the nest hatched. After emergence, we excavated the nests, and surveyed the nest contents. Overall, the VG and VR sites differed in detail in hatching and emergence success but did not differ overall from the control. Three of the 35 nests did not hatch, one in each plot type. Two of these clutches were in the experimental plots and were thoroughly invaded by roots. Root invasion occurred in 13 of 13 nests at the VG plots, 14 of 14 nests at the VR plots, and 5 of 8 nests at the CONT plot. Emerged hatchlings from several nests in VG and VR plots became entangled by the roots in the nests and or the vines on the beach surface. The similar productivity of the treated plots, control plot, and nests relocated outside of the experimental plot free of vegetation, suggest that mechanical removal of the vegetation may be a viable solution for the spread of vegetation throughout the leatherback-nesting environment. However, removal of plants before the nesting season and relocations was not sufficient to protect the clutches. Regular maintenance is needed to control vegetation throughout the incubation period.

Unlike the other six pan-oceanic sea turtles, the flatback turtle (Natator depressus) has a nesting and foraging range restricted to within the Australian continental shelf. Immature stages lack an oceanic stage and remain in Australian continental shelf waters throughout life. Here we characterize the initial in-water behavior (swimming frenzy and postfrenzy) of this species in the lab under natural light-dark cycles. Each hatchling was tethered via a lycra harness to a lever arm that interfaced with a recording mechanism in the center of a pool. The hatchlings were free to swim in any direction but could not touch the pool sides or bottom. Electronics recorded periods of activity and inactivity over time. Flatback hatchlings are strong swimmers. Their frenzy was similar to that described for Caretta caretta, Chelonia mydas, and Dermochelys coriacea, characterized in an earlier study done on the Atlantic coast of Florida, USA. The flatbacks swam vigorously during first night and first daylight period. Post frenzy behavior patterns developed slowly over the following several days as the turtles shifted behavior so activity was predominately diurnal. However, like leatherbacks, some individuals remained active for part of the night. Unlike other cheloniids, they showed no interest in food by the end of their third or fourth day in the water. In this respect they more closely resembled leatherback hatchlings which are also large in size, and emerge with a substantial yolk supply. This is the first systematic study of the initial migratory activity of hatchling N. depressus. The form of the frenzy in flatbacks, a species without an oceanic stage, implies that, like some other sea turtle species (C. caretta, C. mydas, and D. coriacea), the primary role of the "frenzy" is to promote rapid dispersal to deeper, offshore water. Comparative studies of hatchling activity during the early phase of migration reveal that different strategies are employed during both the frenzy and postfrenzy phase of migration. The hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) in Malaysia, for example, lacks a frenzy whereas the flatback in Australia and other cheloniids studied in Florida swim continuously for the first 24-36 h after they enter the sea. These results suggest that factors shaping behavior during the frenzy and postfrenzy period vary. Those factors are hatchling size, energy stores (yolk supply), swimming speed, and ecology. While we found similarities in the flatback frenzy with that of three other species, we are cautious as there may be no "typical pattern" of frenzy and postfrenzy activity during migration. We are just beginning to appreciate these differences through descriptive studies, all of which suggest that a number of factors (e.g. morphology, ecology, physiology and oceanography) may select for unique activity patterns that differ not only among species, but even among populations within species (see abstract by Madrak et al., this volume).

However, the mechanism by which they navigate these long distances in the open-ocean and return with such accuracy (i.e. at Tortuguero, the most common distance between returns by tagged nesting females was only 0.2km) in successive years to nest remains uncertain, but assuredly requires the use of a compass. Lohmann (1991) demonstrated that loggerhead sea turtle hatchlings (Caretta caretta) can orient themselves in response to an imposed earth-strength magnetic field of either a normal or reversed nature and may use this ability to navigate. Furthermore, a decrease of magnetic intensity over the course of the experiments (2-5%) led to a decreased orientation response. A fine-scale (cycle of 0.5Hz producing one measurement every meter) total field magnetic survey was conducted along fifteen and three eighths miles of Tortuguero National Park, Costa Rica using a GEM Systems proton magnetometer. The diurnal variation of the Earth's magnetic field was simultaneously measured by a second, stationary GEM proton magnetometer cycling at 0.3Hz. All geomagnetic data presented is in its corrected form. Residual coastal anomalies measured approximately 1.5 meters from the swash zone ranged in intensity from -45 to 106 averaged over 0.125mile intervals. Spectral analysis of the geomagnetic data from miles -1 to 3.75 using the PAST program reveals a statistically significant Spearman's rho cross-correlation (p=.00001 rho ? 0) with nesting frequency, when turtle nesting data is offset by 0.625 miles to the north. This offset in the correlation may be due to the influence of the dominant long-shore current encountered by the turtle as it approaches the beach to nest, in essence deflecting it from its original target determined by its internal magnetic compass. Further statistical analysis is required to accurately describe the complex relationship between localized geomagnetic anomalies and nesting density for the remainder of the dataset from miles 3.75 to 15.The whole body of the dataset was not included due to a discontinuity in data collection between the two sections of the rookery. The nest density measurements in the unanalyzed portion were averaged over extended periods of time and may not be directly comparable with the more detailed data. A previous study of coastal geomagnetic anomalies conducted at Saint George Island, Florida, USA by Pilarczyk et al. 2004 led to a similar conclusion of a strong correlation with nesting density to changing residual field strength. An additional study was carried out on the Space Coast of Florida, USA in June of 2005 in order to support the relationship found in these two locations, as well as to assess the influence of anthropogenic effects on the magnetic field, as much of this field work was conducted on the rookery beach immediately adjacent to Patrick Air Force Base.

Data collection, management and mapping were undertaken using the Satellite Tracking and Analysis Tool (STAT; Coyne and Godley, 2005), a utility of seaturtle.org. Internesting habitat and movements differed between turtles. Six turtles remained within 10-20km of Masirah for the entire internesting period and 4 made circuitous pelagic excursions of 50-300km. Each turtle was consistent in its internesting behaviour as a "wanderer" or "sedentary". No relationship between turtle size and internesting behaviour was found. We investigated if the increased time a turtle's transmitter spent in the air during the nesting process resulted in a) consistent acquisition of high quality locations placing the turtle on or near the beach (within Argos limits for the LC) b) increased number of high quality locations or c) increase in total number of uplinks received by the Argos satellites. Only the absolute number of uplinks provided consistently convincing evidence of nesting activity at approximately two-week intervals for most turtles, with peak numbers rising to 20 uplinks or more above baseline during inferred nesting activity. It appeared that the turtles deposited up to 6 clutches (mean 4.4, range 3-6, n=9) at approximately 2-week intervals (mean of means 16.0 days, range of means for individual turtles: 14.5-17.7 days, n=10; over all range for individual intervals: 13-19 days, n=33) on specific beaches before migrating away from the island at the end of their nesting season. The transmitter ceased to function after recording three nests for one turtle and hence the average number of nests may have been marginally higher than reported here. Previous estimates for the Masirah Island nesting aggregation size incorporated clutch frequencies of 1.33 and 4 nests per turtle resulting in estimates of 25,700 - 52,700 turtles nesting per year (Ross, 1998). Data presented here indicate Masirah's turtles may be more fecund than suggested and hence this new datum reduces further the lower population size estimate. If our early season females are typical, using Ross' original data for nesting levels, revised estimates range from 23,300 - 47,900 turtles nesting per year, thus maintaining the status as one of the world's largest breeding aggregations of loggerhead turtles.

All the turtles were tagged as part of an in-water mark-recapture program conducted throughout the coast of Uruguay, from 2001 to 2006. In all cases, the same methodology was used: inconel tags, model #681, were placed on the trailing edges of the front flippers, along the second scale. Morphometric data (CCLn-t) was collected at the time of tagging, and a photo-identification was taken from both sides of the head in order to have an individual record of each turtle. From a total of 306 immature green turtles that were tagged and released, 16 were later recaptured (29.4-49.9 LSCn-t, mean=40.0, SD=5.3). Fifteen were identified by the flipper tag number and one (who had previously lost both tags) was identified through the photo-id data base. Of the 306 turtles, five were recaptured at distances greater than 180 km, between 5 and 17 months later. Individual minimum travel distances ranged from 180 to 2250 km. Local recaptures on feeding grounds (n=10) some over one year at the same place, suggest residency for extended periods. Although the majority of recaptures took place at the Cerro Verde area (n =7), one turtle was recaptured in la Paloma, Uruguay (distance= 10 km), while the other two were found in Hermenegildo RS, Brazil (distance= 45 km). The mean growth rate of recaptured green turtles was 1.2 cm/yr (n=5, range=0.03-1.97). Also, one old long-range tag return from the Northern Hemisphere was recorded. The turtle was a 29 cm CCLn-t green turtle tagged in April 1977 at Leonsberg, Surinam and recaptured in Valizas, Uruguay in March 1979, an estimated minimum travel distance of 6800 km. Recaptures have shown that at least some juvenile green turtles feeding on macroalgae along the Uruguayan coastal shelf undertake migrations, as indicated by several recaptures at distant foraging grounds in Brazil.

Much life history information for juvenile and adult male loggerheads has been compiled in recent years. Technologies such as satellite telemetry have facilitated rapid and detailed data collection for free-swimming turtles, particularly with respect to documenting seasonal distributional and behavioral patterns. We have used satellite telemetry to study juvenile and adult loggerheads in the Southeast U.S. since 2004 and 2006, respectively. Following collection by trawling in the shipping entrance channels of Charleston, SC (juveniles) and Cape Canaveral, FL (adult males), a subset of loggerheads was tagged with Telonics ST-20 satellite transmitters. During an 840-day observation period between 16 June 2004 and 30 September 2006, a total of 31,656 detection events were recorded for 24 juvenile loggerheads. Between 17 April 2006 and 30 September 2006 (167 days), a total of 6,599 detection events were recorded for nine adult male loggerheads. In addition to location information, water temperature and dive cycle metrics were also recorded. Resident and migratory individuals were observed among both juvenile and adult male loggerheads; however, juvenile loggerheads were noticeably more resident. Eighty-eight percent (n=21 of 24) of juvenile loggerheads remained offshore of SC between May and November (or for as long as each animal was monitored; minimum = 30 days). In contrast, only 33% (n=3 of 9) of adult male loggerheads remained offshore of central FL between April and September; four adult male loggerheads migrated to Mid-Atlantic states within 4-6 weeks following release, and two adult males were only monitored for 7-10 days. Seven of ten juvenile loggerheads for which overwintering data has been collected resided on the middle to outer continental shelf off of SC and GA between December and March, returning inshore in April. Two additional juvenile loggerheads remained on the SC shelf until mid-February, at which point they entered the Gulf Stream, and a third juvenile loggerhead over-wintered completely in the Gulf Stream. Seasonal shifts in diving behavior were noted for juvenile and adult male loggerheads. Between May and November, juvenile loggerheads made numerous and short-duration dives daily; however, between December and April, diving behavior was characterized by fewer and longer duration dives. In contrast, adult male loggerheads exhibited a variety of patterns. Potential explanations of changes in diving behavior for both juvenile and adult male loggerheads will be discussed.

The majority nest at Rancho Nuevo, Mexico. To prevent poaching and predation, almost all of the nests have been relocated to protected egg corrals for several decades. Because of this and other conservation measures, the number of nesting females has steadily increased for over a decade. If the trend continues, it will become necessary to leave some nests in their natural location. A two year study was conducted to evaluate the effects of allowing nests to incubate in their natural location following a mass nesting, or "arribada". The findings from the initial year of the study suggest that there were a limited number of predators in the section of the beach examined (raccoons, skunks, coyotes, ghost crabs, birds, ants, and flies). However, nests were frequented on a daily basis by several of the predators. These predators were very efficient at detecting nests and finding hatchlings. During the second year, the same types of predators were identified; however the vertebrate predators visited the nesting area less frequently. There were several factors which could account for the variation in predator abundance. Data from both years suggest that the restricted number of predators may lead to predator satiation. Therefore, leaving nests in a restricted area from an arribada may represent an efficient management strategy for enhancing hatchling survival. Temperature data from nests left in situ and those moved to one of the three Rancho Nuevo corrals were examined. Data were similar to previous years, indicating that the corral nests were slightly warmer than the in situ nests. For all of the nests examined, those laid early in the nesting season were predicted to produce a male bias whereas those laid later in the season were predicted to have female bias.

Receiving data that are accurate and delivered in a timely manner is crucial to making effective management decisions. In March 2006, we introduced the Sea Turtle Rescue and Necropsy Database (STRAND), an online reporting system hosted by SEATURTLE.ORG, to NC-STSSN participants and encouraged its use. This system allows the complete stranding record to be submitted directly into a database coordinated by the NCWRC within 24 hours of the stranding event. Here we illustrate this system's many features and how STRAND has worked beneficially now that it is in practice. These features include drop-down boxes that eliminate typographical errors and integrated error checking that reduces incomplete data. Reports cannot be submitted when certain fields are left blank, and therefore the total number of stranding reports with missing notes and/or tagging information (two of the most common mistakes) has been greatly reduced. A photo upload option provides thumbnails embedded into the report making it much easier to associate the data with a photo and managers can quickly verify species, wounds, or other characteristics. Perhaps the most useful tools are the latitude/longitude converter and mapping graphic. With these tools, every entered stranding receives a geographic location in standard decimal degrees format, which can be verified with satellite maps to ensure the coordinates entered match the location description. This feature alone has greatly helped save time and increase accuracy. In addition, reports, graphs, and photos are generated that are available to the general public who seek data and information on sea turtle strandings in North Carolina. This system can serve as a model for other programs that may benefit from a similar on-line reporting scheme. An unexpected problem has been encouraging participants to use the new technology. A total of 314 strandings were reported by 101 individuals from March through December 2006. Of these, 64 were entered directly into the system by the original data collector. The remaining 250 strandings were submitted to and entered by the state coordinator. Continually encouraging its use and providing training on how to use STRAND may help increase participation. Working with volunteers that have tried out the system will help make it more user-friendly and efficient. In the future we hope to make the database capable of multiple queries and producing graphs and tables for very specific subsets of the data. As the system develops and becomes more widely used among STSSN participants, STRAND will prove to be a useful tool providing the most up-to-date and accurate data for managers.

Texas A&M University at Galveston's Sea Turtle and Fisheries Ecology Research Laboratory (STFERL) satellite-tracked five immature Kemp's ridleys (Lepidochelys kempii) averaging 37.1 cm SCL (SD=7.3) for 12-59 days (mean=37.6, SD=17.3) during 2004-2005. Estimated battery life was 9-12 months, prompting concerns regarding causes for premature transmission loss, including turtle death, biofouling, and attachment failure, the latter of which is examined here. The STFERL and NOAA Sea Turtle Facility (NSTF) conducted a pilot study examining satellite transmitter attachment using four captive-reared loggerheads (Caretta caretta) that were approximately 2.5 years old and averaged 40.1 cm SCL (SD=1.3 cm). Dummy Sirtrack KiwiSat 202 transmitters were attached to the first two vertebral scutes with PowerFast two-part marine epoxy (n=2) or PowerFast covered with SonicWeld steel-reinforced epoxy putty (n=2). The loggerheads were held at the NSTF in a divided raceway from 10 January-23 May 2006 and maintained at 27-30 C and 28-35 ppt. Transmitter attachments were examined for integrity and photographed weekly, and turtles were measured monthly. The loggerheads grew an average of 1.3 cm SCL (SD=0.5 cm) during 10 January-11 May, and all transmitters were still attached on 23 May (Day 135). The turtles were transported overnight 23-24 May from the NSTF to Panama City, Florida for NOAA's annual turtle excluder device (TED) testing. Upon arrival, they were placed in outdoor pens, where one loggerhead was observed rubbing against a piling. Both PowerFast-only attachments failed within four hours (Day 136), and one transmitter was found at the piling's base. One PowerFast/SonicWeld attachment held until 4 June (Day 146), and the fourth attachment remained secure until its removal on 22 June (Day 164). The original loggerheads were re-outfitted with the unattached transmitters using the same adhesives for use in a trial examining transmitter-TED interactions. The experimental turtles and four same-age controls were sent through a shrimp trawl equipped with a Super-Shooter TED at a 50-degree angle on 22 June 2006. Methods followed the NOAA standard small turtle TED test protocol. One experimental and one control loggerhead failed to reach the TED within five minutes and were recorded as "captures; " however, the transmitter did not impede the experimental turtle's passage through the trawl net. The other turtles successfully escaped from the trawl via the TED, but two of the experimental loggerheads were slowed when their transmitters temporarily wedged between the TED's bars. The dummy transmitters sustained no obvious damage, and all four were removed later that day. Results of these pilot studies and the small sample size employed mandate further examination of transmitter attachment and TED interactions, particularly as they apply to telemetry of smaller, faster-growing life history stages. The STFERL and NSTF plan to undertake larger trials during 2007. Many thanks to the Harvesting Systems Branch, NOAA Pascagoula for enabling the TED trials and videography.

A six-meter-long instrumented tether was used to follow their movements. A TDR attached to the tether proximal to the turtle's carapace recorded depth and temperature at five second intervals. A GPS receiver on the float attached to the distal end of the tether recorded the turtle's position at one or five minute intervals. The combination of the TDR and GPS data has provided high-resolution movement and dive profiles of diel behavior. Contrasts are drawn between dive behavior during foraging, during movement between foraging areas or sleeping sites, and during nighttime hours. Considerable variation in movement patterns was observed for individual turtles within a night and between nights, and between different turtles.

Green turtles recruit to these waters at 20-25 cm SCL but are rarely seen at sizes greater than 70 cm. The size classes between 70 and 80 cm and 80 and 90 cm are referred to as the "missing size classes" and are seen only occasionally by biologists conducting long-term in-water research in Florida. The two groups with the longest history and highest number of sea turtle captures are the University of Central Florida Marine Turtle Research group (UCF) and the Sea Turtle Program at the St. Lucie Power Plant. Turtles in the missing size classes represent less than 1% of the overall green turtle captures by UCF in three in-water study sites on the east coast of Florida (n=4862, 1982-2005) and less than 2.2 % of all green turtle captures at the St. Lucie Power Plant (n=4811, 1976-2005) at Hutchinson Island. Prior to this study, fewer than 20 long distance tag returns had been received by the two groups indicating that some of these turtles make their way to the Caribbean basin. To locate these missing size class animals and better understand green turtle life history, satellite transmitters (Telonics ST-20) were attached to 22 green turtles between 70 and 84 cm from the east central coast of Florida. Argos location data were analyzed using the Douglas filtering algorithm. Despite their size, some individuals remained in the area where they were captured for the duration of tracking. The majority of the turtles recruited to new foraging habitats in the Florida Keys while others relocated to the Bahamas and the Caribbean. The central tendency was for turtles to closely follow the Florida coastline although making generalizations remains difficult.

The approximately one dozen barnacle species that live exclusively attached to sea turtles are largely considered benign commensals. Certainly, occasional wounding and negative effects of hydrodynamic drag have been documented for these crustaceans; however, few barnacle species are categorically considered injurious to turtles. We document several instances from both the Atlantic and Pacific of rarely encountered barnacles that burrow into the limbs and shells of sea turtles. These potentially pathogenic barnacles deeply invade tissues and penetrate bone. Using light and electron microscopy to investigate their attachment mechanisms, we describe how mode of attachment varies among barnacle species and the significance it holds for turtle health.

AN - 20410560; 9094143 AB - During the nesting season, leatherback turtles are generally presented with a paucity of prey in comparison to time spent in more productive, temperate waters. There are two strategies which can be adopted during this period. Several species which undertake similar long distance migrations between foraging and breeding grounds will cease foraging during the breeding season and remain relatively quiescent, conserving energy for reproduction and the post-breeding migration (e.g. female elephant seals). Other species will continue to forage, with reduced success, in order to exploit whatever prey may be available (e.g. Adelie penguins). The foraging strategy of green turtles seems to be dependent on food availability. Green turtles forage during the internesting intervals at nesting sites where sea grass beds are present (e.g. Cyprus), but tend to undertake long 'resting' dives when forage is absent (e.g. Ascension Island). Some populations of leatherbacks also appear to forage during the nesting season. On St Croix, USVI, females have shown little weight loss between nesting events, and were probably feeding. To further investigate this phenomenon, we used conventional time-depth recorders and a novel mouth-opening sensor to investigate the foraging behavior of leatherback turtles in the Southern Caribbean. Diving behavior suggested attempted foraging on vertically migrating prey with significantly more diving, to a consistent depth, occurring during the night. No obvious prey manipulation was detected by the mouth sensor, but rhythmic mouth opening occurred during specific phases of the dives, suggesting that the turtle was relying on gustatory cues to sense its immediate environment. Patterns of diving in conjunction with these mouth opening activities suggest that leatherbacks are attempting to forage during the breeding season in the Southern Caribbean and that gustatory cues are important sensory inputs.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Dispersal and dive patterns in gravid leatherback turtles during the nesting season in French Guiana AN - 20410526; 9094130 AB - We present the first combined analysis of diving behaviour and dispersal patterns in gravid leatherback turtles during 3 consecutive nesting seasons in French Guiana. In total 23 turtles were fitted with an Argos satellite transmitter and 16 individuals (including 6 concurrently satellite tracked) were equipped with an electronic time-depth recorder during one inter-nesting interval, i.e. between two consecutive ovipositions. The leatherbacks dispersed over the continental shelf, ranging from the coastal zone to the shelf break and moved over 546.2 c 154.1 km (mean c SD) in waters of French Guiana and neighbouring Surinam. They mostly performed shallow (9.4 c 9.2 m) and short (4.4 c 3.4 min) dives with a slight diurnal pattern. They dived deeper as they moved away from the coast suggesting that they were predominantly following the seabed. Inter-nesting intervals could be divided into two phases: during the first 75% of the time turtles spent at sea, they dived on average 47 min h-1 before showing a lower and more variable diving effort as they came back to the shore. The analysis of dive shapes, but also the extended horizontal and vertical movements observed in this study, suggest that leatherbacks may feed during the inter-nesting interval, probably to compensate for the energy costs associated with reproduction. This also results in this endangered species being exposed to high risks of interactions with local fisheries throughout the continental shelf.

These differences presumably occur because of selection for behavioral responses that promote the most efficient migratory strategies among members of each population. The purpose of this study was to determine whether migratory behavior in loggerhead hatchlings differs between populations that exit nesting beaches on the East and West coast of Florida. When the turtles emerge from the nests, they initially show a swimming "frenzy" that serves to distance individuals from shallow coastal waters, displacing them toward oceanic currents that are used to transport the turtles to the North Atlantic Gyre. On the East coast of Florida, turtles swim eastward toward the Florida Current (western portion of the Gulf Stream) located relatively close to the shoreline (on average, 2 km offshore at Miami to 33 km offshore at Melbourne Beach). On the West coast of Florida, turtles swim westward toward the Loop Current in the Gulf of Mexico, which is located farther offshore (150 km offshore at St. Petersburg to over 200 km offshore at the Everglades National Park). In a previous study, we demonstrated that for East coast loggerheads, the frenzy consists of continuous swimming for similar to 24 h, followed over the next 5 days by postfrenzy (diurnal, with little nocturnal) swimming activity. No comparable data exist that characterize the frenzy period of loggerheads from the West coast of Florida. We used identical methods to quantify the migratory activity of hatchlings from the West coast of Florida. Hatchlings were captured as they emerged from nests located between Venice and Sarasota, Florida. They were then tethered in water-filled pools under laboratory conditions, where temperature and photoperiod could be controlled to duplicate conditions used when studying the East coast turtles. Activity was continuously recorded over the next six days. The data were analyzed to determine the proportion of time the turtles spent swimming every day, and the proportion of that swimming activity that occurred during the light and dark period of each day. Turtles from each coast showed no statistical difference in the proportion of time spent swimming each day. However, after day 1, West coast hatchlings showed statistically lower levels of swimming activity during the day and statistically higher levels of swimming activity at night than did turtles from the East coast. We hypothesize that these differences may reflect a more diffuse period of active "searching" for appropriate oceanic currents by the West coast turtles, under conditions where greater predation pressures might select for more movement under conditions of darkness. Such a response may be appropriate when migratory goals are located at greater distances, and when turtles must migrate farther from the coast to reach deeper, and presumably less predator-rich, waters.

Park ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Analysis of the movement of loggerhead sea turtles off coasts of Japan AN - 20410299; 9094134 AB - Loggerhead sea turtles, Caretta caretta, off the coast of Japan are known to travel great distances. They exhibit many route patterns, such as heading into the Japan Sea, circling in the North Pacific, and at times wandering off to the shores of California and back. Reasons for the diversity in behavior are still unclear. Argos satellite tracking devices were attached to turtles at different times and conditions off the coast of Japan, and their tracks were recorded, ranging from several months to over a year. The unequally spaced noise data were smoothed under certain criteria to maintain the most reasonable paths taken. Oceanic factors and some randomness are believed to determine the variability in these paths. Relationships were investigated to uncover their behavior and examine which factors were most relevant for turtles in different conditions. The Kuroshio, a major northward-flowing coastal current, other strong currents and eddies, along with numerous preliminary factors, such as temperature, salinity and chlorophyll A concentrations were involved in the analysis. These are believed to play a key role in predicting their movements. Although still uncertain, global warming and other abrupt environmental changes can be expected to alter sea turtle routes significantly, diversify nesting locations, and affect sex ratios in hatchlings. Such consequences are deciding factors for their future.

In areas where environmental conditions are highly variable either spatially and/or temporally, olive ridley turtles are thus expected to show variable foraging and diving behaviors. French Guyana lies in the Atlantic coast of northern South America where fresh Amazonian waters regularly influence oceanographic conditions on and off the continental shelf. To test the prediction that olive ridley turtles may show a high behavioral plasticity in French Guyana, where about half of the Atlantic population of this species is reported to nest, we monitored the at-sea movements and diving behaviors of ten gravid females via satellite telemetry after they nested in summer 2006. Five of the 10 individuals remained in the vicinity of the departure point and landed a second time near the deployment point within the first month of monitoring, suggesting they re-nested after deployment. The five other individuals left the area immediately after deployment, suggesting they began their post-nesting movements. At the end of the nesting period, all ten turtles moved on the continental shelf, heading north-west to neighboring Surinam and further north to Guyana. The ten turtles concentrated their time in two main habitats, namely at the mouth of large rivers and at the border of the continental shelf, where they showed specific diving behaviors, consistent to our prediction. Data from at least two of the ten study turtles suggest that they were accidentally captured on the Guyanese shield. Such high level of interactions between olive ridley turtles, whose nesting population in French Guiana accounts for about half of the Atlantic population, and regional fisheries implies international efforts for the conservation of this species.

Changes in sampling rates of ADR's may have significant impacts on interpretations of dive data, yet effects of sampling rate have not been explored in detail. Because data are stored in a limited amount of onboard memory, an ideal sampling rate needs to be determined for each study considering an acceptable trade-off between the duration of deployment and the resolution of dive records. Slower sampling rates can extend the deployment duration yet reduce the resolution of dive records, which could alter results of analyses on individual dives. Alternatively, faster sampling rates prohibit long-term data collection due to memory limitations. In order to determine the lost information due to slow sampling rates, we re-sampled data collected via ADR's deployed on leatherback turtles in St. Croix, US Virgin Islands. The original data were collected at 5 sec interval. Descriptive statistics and classification of dive profiles were compared among various sampling rates. We used a k-means cluster analysis for the classification of dive profiles, where the 'true' number of clusters was determined based on the original 5-s data. The same clusters were used for slower sampling rates. A total of 8,303 dives were recorded for 10 leatherback turtles at the original 5 s sampling rate. Re-sampling at 10 and 30 s resulted in 1% and 5% of dives being missed, respectively. Slower sampling rates resulted in concatenation of multiple dives or short dives being missed altogether. Missed dives were shallower than detected dives (At 10 s, mean sub(missed)=29.5 m, SD=47.8, Mean sub(detected)=86.2 m, SD = 57.5; At 30 s, mean sub(missed) =37.0 m SD=48.2, mean sub(detected)=88.2 m, SD=57.0). Additionally, missed dives were shorter in duration than detected dives (At 10 s, mean sub(missed)=7.3 min, SD=9.7, mean sub(detected)=12.6 min, SD=5.7; At 30 s, mean sub(missed)=7.5 min, SD=9.7, mean sub(detected)=12.9 min, SD=5.4). We found five clusters for the original data, based on the within and between cluster sums of squares. At a 10 s sampling rate, 88% of the dives were classified into the same category as they had been during the 5 s sampling. At a 30 s sampling rate, 75% of the dives were classified correctly. Decreasing the sampling rate further accentuated these results with more missed dives, and more dives classified incorrectly during cluster analyses. Consequently, slower sampling rates can create a bias in descriptive statistics and dive classifications. However, we found that analytical manipulations, such as changing the maximum surface depth, can correct for some of these errors and can help regain information from slower sampling rates. Sampling rate should be of important consideration especially in those studies that are interested in characterizing dive shapes and making inferences about the behavior of animals from dive profiles.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Use of oceanic habitats by loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) AN - 20408955; 9094139 AB - The pelagic ocean is recognized as an important nursery habitat for juvenile loggerhead sea turtles, yet it is the area where we have the least amount of life history information. Generally in the North Atlantic, small juveniles are found in the eastern basin, while large juveniles occupy the western basin. Both of these regions have significant oceanographic features - boundary currents - that compose the frontiers of the North Atlantic Gyre. These are the Gulf Stream, a swift moving warm current that runs northward and is characterized by its low productivity, and the Canary Current, a cold, highly productive southward running current. Archie Carr first hypothesized that loggerhead hatchlings use the Gulf Stream as a migratory corridor and later proposed that small juveniles inhabit the epipelagic realm of the North Atlantic Gyre system, drifting passively with the currents. We used satellite telemetry to track the oceanic movements and to characterize the habitat use of juvenile loggerheads between 2002 and 2006 in order to gain a better understanding of this pelagic lifestyle. Ten large juveniles (mean = 69 cm CCL, SD = 8 cm) were tracked from the western Atlantic (North Carolina, USA) for up 22 months (mean = 10). Eight small juveniles (mean = 43 cm CCL, SD = 8 cm) were tracked from the eastern Atlantic (Canary Islands, Spain) for up to 6 months (mean = 4). Our analyses examined the physical features of the habitats used by these turtles, focusing on water temperature, bathymetry, distance to seamounts, dive profiles, and associations with geotropic currents. Our results show a strong concordance of loggerhead tracks with the location of currents and associated frontal eddies which suggests that such mesoscale features are important to the foraging ecology of pelagic turtles. Dive profiles from small juveniles revealed that turtles spent most of their time near the surface (< 50 meters, most within 10 meters) and dives were short in duration (< 10 minutes). Turtles from both regions spent the most amount of time in water temperatures between 18 - 21 degree C. Loggerheads live-out at least the first 10-14 years of their lives in the ocean's epipelagia. The world is rapidly becoming aware of human impacts on this oceanic habitat (eg. vessel traffic, marine debris, and fisheries). Defining the importance of these areas for marine species is therefore a crucial step towards their conservation.

We report for the first time three tag recoveries from hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) and green turtles (Chelonia mydas) recaptured in Equatorial Guinea which had been tagged in neighboring countries. Two female turtles were tagged while nesting on Praia Grande, in the island of Principe, Sao Tome and Principe. The first turtle was tagged in December 2003 (KUD11076) and the second (KUD06326 GD) in November 2003. They were recaptured, respectively, in May 2006 and May/June 2006 near Corisco Island in Equatorial Guinea, a straight line distance of approximately 260 km. The Corisco Bay region is a foraging area for green turtles, of recognized importance at a regional and global scale. However, turtles are threatened by intentional capture by the local fishermen and both of the tagged turtles were slaughtered and consumed. The third turtle (F740) was an immature hawksbill tagged in Cameroon after having been captured incidentally by a local fisherman in the southern region of Ebodje. It was recaptured in Rio Campo, in northern Equatorial Guinea, by a local fisherman who is a dedicated turtle hunter. Thus, we can confirm that the coastal region between northern Equatorial Guinea and southern Cameroon hosts juvenile developmental habitat for hawksbill turtles and that individuals move relatively long distances between the shallow coastal bays while foraging, thus not exhibiting strict site fidelity. We will also discuss the conservation implications of our work with respect to national and international legislation.

The limited radio, sonic and satellite tracking of sea turtles in nearshore waters of the northwestern Gulf of Mexico (Renaud et al., 1995; Landry and Costa, 1999; Landry and Seney, 2006a, b) has generated virtually no information about occurrence and movements of constituent assemblages in adjacent estuaries. Recovery of endangered species like the Kemp's ridley (Lepidochelys kempii) depends, in part, on a comprehensive examination of sea turtle use of Texas coastal habitats. To this end, the Sea Turtle and Fisheries Ecology Research Lab (STFERL) at Texas A&M University - Galveston is conducting entanglement netting and satellite tracking surveys to assess sea turtle habitat use patterns in five Texas estuaries - 1) Upper coast: Sabine Lake and Galveston Bay; 2) Mid-coast: Lavaca/Matagorda Bay; and 3) Lower coast: Aransas Bay Complex and Lower Laguna Madre-during 2006-07. Netting effort in 2006 yielded 36 sea turtle captures, all of which occurred in mid and lower coast estuaries. Mean straight carapace length (SCL) for greens (Chelonia mydas - 43.3 cm), Kemp's ridleys (30.8 cm) and 1 loggerhead (Caretta caretta - 79.0 cm) indicate assemblages were dominated by juvenile/subadult life history stages. Sirtrack KiwiSat 202 transmitters were attached to nine turtles caught in these estuaries during May-August 2006. Track data were generated for 3 greens in the Lower Laguna Madre, 1 green and 1 loggerhead in the Aransas Bay Complex, and 2 Kemp's ridleys in Lavaca/Matagorda Bay. Transmitters also were affixed to two rehabilitated green turtles released into the Aransas Bay Complex and Matagorda Bay. All green turtles exhibited loyalty to seagrass beds in which they were captured during the interval in which they were tracked. However, two greens departed the lower Laguna Madre for shallow, offshore waters along the Mexican coast following the passage of a strong cold front in mid-December. Kemp's ridley movements were more variable, but generally revealed a preference for muddy shorelines of the Lavaca/Matagorda Bay system. These immature ridleys did not appear to migrate from the estuarine environment during the tracking period (June-December 2006) and exhibited more site fidelity than did nesting females tracked in nearshore waters off the Texas and Louisiana coasts during 2005-2006 (Landry and Seney 2006a). The one loggerhead's track lasted only 8 days, yielding very little useful information. Track duration for green turtles was at least three times as long as that for ridleys. Green turtles exhibited an average track duration of 107.5 days as of December 2006 while the two ridleys released in June and August were tracked for an average of 26.5 days. Factors, including attachment protocol and/or tag design, will be examined to resolve short transmission durations for ridleys and the loggerhead. Additional tracking of turtles captured in 2007 will help determine seasonal occurrence, home range, residency times, and habitat preferences for sea turtles in Texas estuaries.

Additionally, one leatherback female captured by gillnets off the southeastern Brazilian coast was tagged and tracked. Despite the preliminary character of the present data, different species exhibited distinct movement patterns (with some intra-specific variation). Hawksbills tagged in northern beaches of the state of Bahia moved both northward (8) and southward (5); two animals stopped transmissions a few days after deployment. Five females are still transmitting and have been for the past 17 months, and each have been in the same area for over one year. All of the loggerheads, tagged in the same area in northern Bahia on January 2006, are still transmitting and have migrated northward; eight females stopped at the coast of Ceara state; one reached the coast of Maranhao and another is off the coast of Para state. Five of the ten tagged olive ridleys ceased transmission prematurely. Two transmitters were recovered in different fishing villages, after the turtle's death. Four of the five remaining turtles moved both northward (3) and southward (1); the last female headed northward, crossing the Equator in a high-sea path. The tagged leatherbacks, including the one tagged at the fishing area, migrated southward (one of them reached Argentinean waters), except one which was found dead in a fishing net during internesting movements in the nesting ground. Even though several turtles are still transmitting, the preliminary results stressed the long-range character of migrations for the different species. Considering the presence of a large fishing effort along the entire Brazilian coast and the development of offshore industrial activities sometimes very far from the nesting areas, the available data corroborate the need of integrated, complimentary and international actions to the conservation of marine turtles. Further studies comprising tagging females in nesting and feeding areas, comparisons on the genetic composition of different stocks, and a better comprehension of fisheries' interactions are under development, and will certainly provide important background for conservation decisions. This study is developed by Projeto TAMAR-IBAMA, in cooperation with PETROBRAS/CENPES, for the project "Mamiferos e Quelonios Marinhos".

However, harnesses have recently been reported to have a welfare impact during long term deployments in this species. Here, we present the first long-term (3-months) monitoring of two leatherback turtles tracked with satellite transmitters directly attached on the pseudo-carapace during migration. Three other turtles were concurrently satellite-tracked with a traditional corrodible harness. There were significantly less recorded locations per day and of least quality for turtles equipped with a harness than for turtles without a harness (1.51 plus or minus 1.35 loc. day-1 and 2.47 plus or minus 1.54 loc. day -1, respectively), which suggests a better position of the satellite transmitter on the turtle's back when directly fixed onto the pseudo-carapace. Mean locomotor travel rate (i.e. turtle's own motion taking potential current drift into account) for turtles equipped with a harness was 17.4% slower (0.50 plus or minus 0.12 m.s-1 and 0.59 plus or minus 0.18 m. s super(-1) respectively) and dives were 12.5% shorter (23.2 plus or minus 14.1 min and 26.3 plus or minus 17.8 min respectively) but were of a similar depth (87.1 plus or minus 81.9 m and 80.7 plus or minus 71.0 m respectively) to turtles without a harness. This indicates a marked hydrodynamic impact of the harness that limits a turtle's swimming and diving capabilities. We conclude that direct attachment of satellite transmitters to the pseudo-carapace of leatherbacks is an improved technique for long-term monitoring and such attachment apparently reduces hydrodynamic constraints for this endangered species.

However, the accuracy associated with PTT locations is poorly described, reducing the utility of the data to researchers. Service Argos categorizes locations derived from PTTs into 1 of 6 different location classes (LCs), which are 3, 2, 1, 0, A, and B listed in presumed order of decreasing accuracy. We documented and analyzed (ANOVA) accuracy levels for each LC from data produced by 12 ST-20 transmitters (Telenics Inc.) during a 5-day fixed-position trial. We then used the calculated errors for each LC to form error polygons that encompassed 1 and 2 standard deviations (68% and 95%, respectively) of the data. For the fixed-position trial, all PTTs were placed within a 1 m radius on a house roof, 4 m above sea level with full horizon access from May 10-15, 2005. Transmitters operated under a continuous duty cycle, a minimum 40-second repetition period between consecutive uplinks with tracking satellites and a signal power output of 1.0 watts. A total of 1,265 locations were recorded (mean = 105.5 plus or minus 1.8 per PTT) over the 5-day trial period (LC 3 = 346; LC 2 = 308; LC 1 = 296; LC 0 = 115; LC A = 111; LC B = 89). Mean straight-line error differed among LCs (F5, 1264 = 93.27; P < 0.0001) with LCs B and 0 showing the highest deviations (km) from truth (LC B = 16.93 plus or minus 5.09; LC 0 = 6.18 plus or minus 1.49; LC A = 2.69 plus or minus 0.53; LC 1 = 1.77 plus or minus 0.14; LC 2 = 0.69 plus or minus 0.06; LC 3 = 0.29 plus or minus 0.03). A strong longitudinal bias was detected for LCs 3, 2, 1, and 0 with longitude to latitude error ratios of 1.98, 2.19, 1.77, and 3.09, respectively. No longitudinal bias was detected for LCs A and B, with longitude to latitude ratios of 0.85 and 1.05 respectively. Jennrich-Turner (1969) ellipses rather than circles were constructed to form the error polygons for each LC, which accounts for the longitudinal bias. The area (km super(2)) of the 2 standard deviation error polygon for each LC was 1.28 (LC 3), 5.93 (LC 2), 41.24 (LC 1), 334.30 (LC 0), 133.09 (LC A), and 7929.71 (LC B). Our results provide documentation of error associated with the LCs of the Argos satellite tracking system, which allows researchers to make informed decisions about the utility of satellite telemetry as a methodology for remote monitoring of marine turtles. Also, our work allows researchers with data already collected to better interpret and apply that data. Furthermore, with accurate error polygons constructed for each LC, habitat models based on satellite telemetry location data for marine turtles become more feasible.

Concernes have been expressed whether the head-started turtles disperse to the open sea after the release like wild turtles. In other words, are they capable of reaching the open sea since they have been reared in captivity? However, this question has not yet been investigated in field surveys. In order to investigate the growth stages which hatchlings keep their willingness to migrate offshore, we monitored the orientation and swimming behavior of green turtles in the initial growth stages from day 0 to day 56 that were released from the beach. The eggs of the experimental turtles were collected at Ibaruma beach, Ishigaki Island, Japan, and then implanted into the artificial beach of Yaeyama Station, Seikai National Fisheries Research Institute, Japan. After hatching, the turtles were divided into 3 groups, and reared for 0 day (n = 6; SCL = 4.6 + 0.17), 7 days (n = 6; SCL = 4.7 + 0.12) and more than 28 days (n = 6; SCL = 5.8 + 0.54), respectively. The tracking experiment from the shore was conducted by a small boat for 3 hours. During the experiments we measured the moving trajectory and speed of the turtles, the wave direction and the speed and the direction of the surface current. In the results, all of the turtles moved to the open sea, but actually the swimming speed decreased and the moving distance from the shore shortened for larger turtles. Also, the direction of their movements and headings were variable. Especially, there were significant differences of the behavioral characteristics between "1 day" and "more than 28 day" old turtles. The turtles reared for more than 28 days were not able to migrate offshore effectively. The beat frequency of their flippers became slowly as the turtles grow, according to another experiment using the acceleration data logger. In this experiment, the significant orientation of the turtles to the refracted wave could not be identified because the ocean wave came from an almost constant direction. These results suggested that turtle release programs should not release post-frenzy turtles from shore.

This is especially true for species like sea turtles, which are far-ranging and use spatio-temporally dynamic resources that are hierarchically structured. Moreover, spatial location error inherent to telemetry data poses additional challenges for studying habitat selection. Adapting Bayesian state-space models to location data has been particularly helpful for dealing with location error, and for modeling animal movements in general. The Alboran Sea is an important developmental area for thousands of juvenile and sub-adult loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) that originate from nesting areas in the western Atlantic and eastern Mediterranean. This region also supports large longline and driftnet fisheries targeting a variety of pelagic fish in which juvenile loggerheads are incidentally killed in large numbers. Given the vulnerable status of the Atlantic loggerhead, characterizing important pelagic habitat in the Mediterranean is vital to conservation efforts for this species. We used hierarchical Bayesian state-space models to simultaneously fit 15 Mediterranean loggerhead pathways to Argos satellite tag data, and to probabilistically assign locations in the pathways, based on movement characteristics, to one of two behavioral movement types that were dependent on dynamic environmental features. This framework enabled us to describe what may represent spatially and temporally ephemeral "habitat patches" for juvenile loggerheads in the region. Specifically, we found that loggerheads were most likely to exhibit "intensive search" or "foraging" behaviors when in deeper waters and in areas of low sea-surface heights, characteristic of eddies or upwellings that concentrate prey resources. These findings are consistent with descriptive studies of loggerhead foraging behavior in the northern Pacific, and with movement analyses of other taxa (e.g., seabirds) that use dynamic and hierarchically structured marine habitats. Thus directed movements toward patchy ephemeral resources may be general property for juvenile loggerheads in different populations around the world, and of many other far-ranging pelagic species.

Insights into species ecology are key to strengthen these strategies. Effective conservation strategies are indispensable, especially for projects and programs targeting species listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, like the leatherback turtle. On many nesting beaches night patrol schedules are adjusted to sea turtle emergence times, which can be related to moon and tidal cycles. This is particularly true for nesting beaches where the tidal amplitudes are high, as can be the case of semi-diurnal tidal regimes. The oceanographic characteristics and specifically the mixed semi-diurnal tidal regime of the Caribbean make Tortuguero, Costa Rica, different from many other nesting beaches. We conducted a study to assess the relationship between nesting leatherback turtle time of emergence and the tidal and lunar cycles at Tortuguero beach. Statistical analyses show a significant relationship and two types of behaviour associated with the tidal amplitude: 1. At low tidal amplitudes, leatherback turtles tend to emerge around the time of high tide (within 3 hours before and after high tide); 2. At high tidal amplitudes, leatherback turtles apparently choose to emerge well before or well after the time of high tide (2 to 5 hours before and after high tide). These results have important implications and can help plan adequate night patrol schedules as well as explaining the variety of behaviours that sea turtles can display in response to their environment.

AN - 20407144; 9094138 AB - Recent years have marked an explosion of information on sea turtle movements from satellite tags, as well as a number of efforts to characterize the water masses that they travel to and through. Determination of turtle location has improved markedly with better tags and algorithms for filtering tracks. This has enabled us to accurately place turtles on maps of oceanographic variables, such as surface temperature, color, height, and current velocity. However, there are often mismatches in the temporal and spatial scale of tracks and oceanographic data that make the identification of "habitat" difficult. For example, the satellite location data must be summarized on the same temporal scale as the oceanographic data, regardless of whether the spatial scale can be easily rectified. We examined the tracks of ten loggerhead turtles tagged in the Spring and Fall of 1998 near Madeira, Portugal in relation to the ocean habitat they occupied. About half of these animals moved northward toward productive areas of the North Atlantic, while the other half moved southward towards coastal upwelling areas off the African coast. We calculated the straightness index of the ten tracks for individual weekly segments and classified tracks as foraging or traveling based on this index. We then extracted information about the chlorophyll, sea-surface temperature, bathymetry, aviso current, and NCOM-generated current of the ocean surrounding the tracks, and examined the correlation between the straightness index and those characteristics. We found that even after accounting for the effects of current, the gradient in chlorophyll A was consistently related to the foraging behavior of all ten animals tracked regardless of their primary direction of travel. By identifying consistent behavior patterns in relation to oceanographic gradients over broad spatial areas, we can characterize foraging areas for tracked marine turtles in a quantitative manner. This characterization, in turn, can assist with risk assessment by identifying areas or suites of oceanographic variables that are consistent with sea turtle foraging and fishing activities.

Previous studies indicated that hatchlings exposed to regional magnetic fields that exist at several crucial boundaries of the gyre (i.e., locations where turtles risk drifting off course) responded by swimming in directions that would, in each case, help turtles remain within the current system and advance along the migratory pathway. To investigate further the magnetic navigational system of loggerheads, we exposed hatchlings to several additional magnetic fields, including some that exist along the migratory route and one that exists in a location north of the gyre where turtles are unlikely to go. When presented with fields that exist at locations within the gyre currents, turtles responded by swimming in directions that appear likely to help them advance along the migratory route. In contrast, turtles exposed to a field that exists north of the gyre were not significantly oriented as a group. These results suggest that, over at least some parts of the migratory pathway, young loggerheads may navigate by using regional magnetic fields as a series of open-sea waymarks. In effect, the migration may be accomplished as a series of sequential steps, in which the field encountered at one location elicits directional swimming that leads the turtles to another location, where another field in turn elicits a response that directs the next segment of the migration.

Ribotyping of Escherichia coli isolates was used to evaluate sources of fecal pollution at a coastal golf course in Beaufort County, South Carolina. Thirty-five E. coli isolates were obtained from water samples from a detention pond for testing against several local and regional libraries of known-source isolate patterns. A library of 92 E. coli ribotype patterns was created from wildlife feces obtained on the site. Additional libraries were available for comparison, including a library from Morgan Island, a small, geographically isolated area (including a monkey colony), and a library from ongoing statewide assessments. Seventeen (49%) of the unknown E. coli isolates matched isolates from raccoon and deer scat from the local library. Two isolates (6%) were matched with monkey sources from Morgan Island, and 13 (37%) were matched to raccoon, deer, and cows from the statewide assessment. Evaluation of repeated ribotyping analyses at the study area revealed evidence of temporal variability of potential sources in the local library. Only one of the isolates from the second year of fecal samples successfully matched with a fecal isolate from the previous year. The results from this study suggest that source identification results were variable both spatially and temporally, and that local, temporally specific libraries are most appropriate for library-based MST studies in small watersheds. Results also suggest that it will be difficult to employ adequate sample sizes to satisfactorily address unknown pattern variability.

Catch rates were lower with circle hooks than with straight hooks, but the differences were not significant; while the catch rates of the targeted species, yellowfin tuna, were the same for both hook types. However, a significantly higher proportion of marlins was released alive from circle hooks than from J hooks.
