6 EXECUTVE SUMMARY This report summarizes sea turtle monitoring by Mote Marine Laboratory s Sea Turtle Conservation and Research Program for the Siesta Key shoreline in 2009, three years following construction activities for the South Siesta Key Beach Restoration Project (FDEP Permit JC). Monitoring data are presented for both Outside Project and nside Project sections of Siesta Key, as well as a Casey Key Control section. Siesta Key shoreline contains 9.0 km (5.6 mi) of sea turtle nesting habitat. The Project shoreline contains 3.4 km (2.1 mi) of shoreline and extends from 300 ft north of FDEP monument R-67 to 500 ft south of R-77. The Outside Project shoreline of Siesta Key contains 5.6 km (3.5 mi) and the Casey Key Control Section south of the Project contains 1.6 km (1.0 mi) from 500 ft north of FDEP monument R-77 to 200 ft south of R-83. Loggerhead turtles accounted for 98.0% of sea turtle activity on Siesta Key in 2009; green turtles accounted for the remaining 2.0%. Loggerhead nesting occurred between May 11 and August 13 and green nesting occurred between June 22 and July 22. Beach monitoring efforts documented 135 loggerhead nests, 163 loggerhead NNEs, one green turtle nest, and five green turtle NNEs. There were 131 in situ and five relocated nests. There were 29 loggerhead nests and 64 loggerhead NNEs for Outside Project sections, 106 loggerhead nests, 99 loggerhead NNEs, one green turtle nest, and five green turtle NNEs for nside Project sections, and 61 loggerhead nests and 42 loggerhead NNEs, six green turtle nests, and five green turtle NNEs for the Casey Key Control section. Nesting density, including loggerhead and green nests, was 15.1 nests/km (24.3 nests/mi) across Siesta Key, with 5.2 nests/km (8.4 nest/mi) for Outside Project sections, 31.5 nests/km (50.7 nest/mi) for nside Project sections and 41.9 nests/km (67.0 nest/mi) for Casey Key Control sections. Green turtle nesting density was 0.0 nests/km (0.0 nests/mi) in the Outside Project section, 0.3 nests/km (0.5 nests/mi) in the nside Project sections, and 3.8 nests/km (6.0 nests/mi) in the Casey Key Control section. Nesting success on Siesta Key was 45.0%, with 31.2% for Outside Project sections, 50.7% for nside Project sections, and 58.8% for Casey Key Control sections. Regions with lower nesting success were FDEP monuments R50-66 (13 nests: 57 NNEs). The region of highest nesting success was FDEP monuments R67-70 (64 nests: 30 NNEs). Turtles accessing the Siesta Key shoreline encountered obstacles on 195 emergences, representing 64.5% of all activities. Of these emergences, 50.8% resulted in NNEs. Turtles were obstructed by escarpments (170), rock revetments (18), holes dug by people (5), beach debris (2), dune walkovers (2), seawalls (2), beach furniture (2), an outfall basin (1), a road (1), human made piles of sand (1) and signs on the beach (1). Of the nests on Siesta Key, 19.8% (26/131) were in the upper third of the beach, 32.1% (42/131) were in the middle third, and 48.1% (63/131) were in the lower third. For nests Outside Project, 42.9% (12/28) were in the upper third of the beach, 42.9% (12/28) were in the middle third, and 14.2% (4/28) were in the lower third. For nests nside Project, 13.6% (14/103) were in the upper MOTE MARNE LABORATORY Sea Turtle Monitoring, Nest Evaluation, and Protection Measures for Siesta Key

7 third of the beach, 29.1% (30/103) were in the middle third, and 57.3% (59/103) were in the lower third. For nests in the Casey Key Control section, 64.6% (42/65) were in the upper third of the beach, 26.2% (17/65) were in the middle third, and 9.2% (6/65) were in the lower third. There were no hurricanes or named storms contributing to coastal erosion and/or sand accretion for the 2009 nesting season. Tidal activity caused inundation of 30.9% (41/136) of nests, 13 of which washed out. Twenty-five nests were affected by more than one storm event. Predators affected 18.2% (25/136) of nests. The depredation incidents involved raccoons (9), roots (7), nesting turtles while covering (6), ghost crabs (3), domestic dog (1), and unknown predators (3). Three incidents of nest vandalism and zero poaching events occurred in The average incubation period for both in situ and relocated loggerhead nests on Siesta Key (n = 102) was 50.7 days with a range of days. The first loggerhead nest hatched on July 13 and the last nest hatched on October 2. n the Outside Project section, the average incubation period for both in situ and relocated loggerhead nests (n = 18) was 57.8 days with a range of days. n the nside Project sections, in situ and relocated loggerhead nests (n = 84) had an average incubation period of 49.2 days with a range of days. n the Casey Key Control area, in situ and relocated loggerhead nests (n = 39) had an average incubation of 52.1 days with a range of days. The single green turtle nest located in the nside Project section incubated 49.0 days and hatched on August 1. The hatch success for both in situ and relocated loggerhead nests (n = 93 nests and 9,077 eggs) 42.0% with 51.8% unhatched eggs and 6.2% pipped eggs. Loggerhead nests had a hatch success of 32.7% in Outside Project sections (n = 20), 44.4% in nside Project sections (n = 73), and 76.4% in the Casey Key Control section (n = 28). Hatch success was 37.0% for inundated loggerhead nests (n = 25) and 43.8% for non-inundated nests (n = 68). The green turtle nest (n = 1) in the nside Project section was not inundated and had a hatch success of 73.5% with 22.1% unhatched eggs and 4.4% pipped eggs. The emergence success for all loggerhead nests (n = 93) was 38.2%. The emergence success of in situ loggerhead nests (n = 92) was 37.8%. The one relocated loggerhead nest had an emergence success of 62.1%. The emergence success for loggerhead nests was 27.6% in Outside Project (n = 20), 40.8% in nside Project (n = 73), and 73.2% the Casey Key Control area (n = 28). nundated nests (n=25) had 33.4% emergence success while non-inundated nests (n=68) had 39.9% emergence success. The green turtle nest (n=1) in nside project, was not inundated and had 66.9% emergence success. Excavations of loggerhead nests for which complete excavation data were documented (in situ: n = 92; relocated: n = 1) revealed that 3,465 hatchlings emerged independently prior to nest excavation. Excavation of the in situ green turtle nests (n = 1) revealed 91 hatchlings emerged independently prior to nest excavation. A total of 3,636 live hatchlings loggerhead hatchlings and a total of 100 live green hatchlings emerged independently from Siesta nests. Five adult turtle and 24 hatchling disorientation events were documented, resulting in a minimum of 237 disoriented hatchlings. Using only viable nests (i.e., those from which hatchlings emerged) a disorientation rate of 22.2% was observed. The disorientation rate of all MOTE MARNE LABORATORY Sea Turtle Monitoring, Nest Evaluation, and Protection Measures for Siesta Key

8 nests, both viable and nonviable (i.e., zero emergence) was 17.7%. Disorientations were related to lighting from hotels or condominiums (15), sky glow (14), single family residences (14), flashlights on the beach (2), lights from parking lots (2), pool lights (1), street lights (1), dune crossovers (1), and unknown causes (1).

9 NTRODUCTON The Gulf of Mexico shoreline of Florida is used as nesting habitat by loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) (SWOT 2007). Sea turtles (including loggerheads, greens, Kemp's ridleys, and leatherbacks) are included in Annex of the SPAW Protocol to the Cartagena Convention, requiring that Parties ensure total protection and recovery to this species, including prohibiting take, possession and killing; commercial trade (including eggs, parts or products); and, to the extent possible, disturbance during periods of breeding, incubation or migration, as well as other periods of biological stress. The species are also included on Appendix of the Convention on nternational Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CTES), a designation which effectively bans trade in specimens or products except by special permit. Such permit must show that the trade is not detrimental to the survival of the species and is not for primarily commercial purposes. Sea turtles are fully protected (listed in Appendix ) under the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS), obliging Parties to prohibit the hunting, fishing, capturing or harassing of these species, as well as to conserve their habitat. Finally, the species are included in the annexes to the Convention on Nature Protection and Wildlife Preservation in the Western Hemisphere (Washington, or Western Hemisphere Convention), a designation intended to convey that their protection is of special urgency and importance. The species are protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, the Marine Turtle Protection Act Chapter (Florida Administration Code), and the Sarasota County Sea Turtle Protection Ordinance (No ). The loggerhead was listed in 1978 as a threatened species (43 Federal Register 32800). nternationally it is considered Vulnerable and is listed as a species threatened with extinction in Appendix of the Convention on nternational Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CTES). A recent 5-year re-evaluation of the loggerhead status remains classed as Threatened (NMFS/ USFWS 2007). n addition to loggerhead turtles, other sea turtle species have been documented nesting in small numbers on the central Gulf beaches. n 2009, there were eleven green turtle (Chelonia mydas) nests in Sarasota County, following seven nests laid in There have been a total of 101 green turtle nests in Sarasota County since Kemp s ridley (Lepidochelys kempii) nests were documented twice on Casey Key, once on Venice, and once on Manasota Key (Charlotte County) during the 2009 nesting season. This is the first documentation of a Kemp s ridley sea turtle nesting in Sarasota County since n 2001, a leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) deposited a clutch on Longboat Key, which marked the first documented nesting of this species on the central west coast of Florida. A second reporting of a leatherback turtle nesting was documented on Sanibel sland (Lee County) in Juvenile loggerhead, Kemp s ridley, and green turtles also utilize the near-shore waters of the central Gulf coast of Florida as developmental habitat. The green turtle is listed as endangered in Florida and federally listed as a protected species since 1978 (43 Federal Register 32800). The Kemp s ridley is the most critically endangered of all sea turtle species and as such is protected throughout its range in the Gulf of Mexico and northwestern Atlantic Ocean. The leatherback is listed as endangered worldwide and federally listed since 1978 (35 Federal Register 8491). All sea turtles are listed in Appendix of CTES. Land-based threats to these protected sea turtles include beach erosion, beach armoring, beach nourishment activities, artificial lighting, beach cleaning, increased human presence, recreational MOTE MARNE LABORATORY Sea Turtle Monitoring, Nest Evaluation, and Protection Measures for Siesta Key

10 beach equipment, exotic dune and beach vegetation, nest depredation, nest loss to abiotic factors, and poaching. Threats within the marine environment include, but are not limited to, incidental take from dredging, marina and dock development, pollution, sea grass bed degradation, fisheries activities including hook and line fisheries, boat collisions, offshore artificial lighting, ingestion of marine debris, poaching, and predation (NMFS/USFWS 2009). The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) evaluate data pertaining to sea turtle species, their use of habitat, nesting success, and any protection measures undertaken to protect the adult turtle, the nest, and emerging hatchlings. This is in support of identifying appropriate construction techniques that occur in sea turtle nesting habitat. Sarasota County Environmental Services, Coastal Resources (Sarasota County) contracted Mote Marine Laboratory s (MML) Sea Turtle Conservation and Research Program (STCRP) to identify critical issues related to the protection of sea turtles, their nesting habitat, nests, and hatchlings on Siesta Key beaches. This 2009 report summarizes STCRP s sea turtle monitoring, evaluation and protection efforts for the South Siesta Key Beach Restoration Project. BACKGROUND The Siesta Key shoreline is used as nesting habitat by sea turtles that are protected by the ESA of 1973, the Marine Turtle Protection Act Chapter (Florida Administrative Code) and the Sarasota County Sea Turtle Protection Ordinance (No ). Beach nourishment or restoration can result in changes in beach properties such as sand density, beach shear resistance, moisture content, beach slope, sand color, grain size, and shape shape (Crain et al. 1995, Davis et al. 1999, Peterson and Bishop 2005, Rumbold et al. 2007, Brock et al. 2009). These changes may affect the nesting activity of sea turtles and the hatch and subsequent emergence success of the nests. Consequently, special conditions are included in beach construction permits to minimize impacts to the turtles, nests, and hatchlings. Although Siesta Key was previously characterized as a native beach, the South Siesta Key Beach Restoration Project, hereafter referred to as the Project (FDEP permit JC) placed 922,300 cubic yards of sand, sourced from four offshore borrow areas, on 3.4 km (2.1 mi) of shoreline in the winter of (Figure 1). The same borrow areas were used for the City of Venice Beach Nourishment Project (Permit JC). The Project shoreline extends from 300 ft north of FDEP monument R-67 to 500 ft south of R-77. The Outside Project shoreline of Siesta Key contains 5.6 km (3.5 mi) and the Casey Key Control Section south of the Project contains 1.6 km (1.0 mi) from 500 ft north of FDEP monument R-77 to 200 ft south of R-83. The South Siesta Beach Restoration Project began on December 19, 2006 and concluded on March 4, 2007 before nesting season began on May 1, t will be important to compare previous nesting data with that of construction and postconstruction years to evaluate the effects of beach nourishment on sea turtle nesting. During the year of beach nourishment, special conditions are included in beach construction permits to minimize impacts to the turtles, nests, and hatchlings. MOTE MARNE LABORATORY Sea Turtle Monitoring, Nest Evaluation, and Protection Measures for Siesta Key

11 The special permit conditions for the Project include fill material composition requirements, permitted construction material and machinery locations, requirements for escarpment formation surveys, post-construction beach compactness monitoring, and sea turtle activity monitoring. STCRP personnel documented sea turtle activity and implemented nest protection and evaluation measures. Special permit conditions pertaining to sea turtle monitoring activities included: Daily dawn sea turtle nest surveys of the beach were to be conducted starting May 1 and continue through the end of the sea turtle nesting season, October 31, or until all nests were excavated. Nest relocations were required to be completed no later than 9 a.m. of the morning following deposition. All nests, in situ or relocated, were to be marked and the actual location of the clutch determined. All nesting surveys, nest relocations, nest caging activities, and nest success evaluations were to be conducted by persons with prior experience and training in these activities and duly authorized to conduct such activities through FWC Marine Turtle Permit #070 and #155, current and valid permits issued by FWC, mperiled Species Management, pursuant to Florida Administrative Code Rule 62R-1. Monitoring of nesting activity following construction was to include daily surveys and any additional measures authorized by the FWC. The required report included nesting success rates, hatch success of all in situ and relocated nests, and names of all personnel involved in nest surveys and relocation activities. These data were to be reported separately for filled and non-filled areas. Permit Conditions require sea turtle monitoring and reporting of the initial nesting season following completion of the beach placement of maintenance-dredged material (2007) and for a minimum of three additional nesting seasons ( ). This report summarizes the data collected in 2009, the second year following the conclusion of the active project phase, to fulfill monitoring requirements for South Siesta Key Restoration Project (FDEP Permit No JC). The report is submitted to the Sarasota County Environmental Services Department, Coastal Planning and Engineering, nc., the FWC mperiled Species Management Division, the USFWS, and archived in the offices of the MML STCRP. SEA TURTLE MONTORNG Project Location Siesta Key is located in Sarasota County on the central Gulf coast of Florida. The surveyed shoreline contains 9.0 km (5.6 mi) of sea turtle nesting habitat. Siesta Key is bounded to the north by Big Sarasota Pass and to the south by Casey Key. The sandy beach extends from FDEP monument R-45 (Sandy Hook Road) south to 1000 feet south of R-77 (Palmer Point Park). The Siesta Key shoreline is characterized by high density residential development of both single and multifamily structures (Moreton and Peterson 2003). MOTE MARNE LABORATORY Sea Turtle Monitoring, Nest Evaluation, and Protection Measures for Siesta Key

12 Southern Siesta Key from 7902 Sanderling Road south to Palmer Point Park is part of Florida s ndex Nesting Beach Survey (NBS) and Statewide Nesting Beach Survey (SNBS) programs. These programs were established to standardize sea turtle data collection in order to accurately evaluate nesting trends in the State. The NBS program requires using an identical protocol to gather detailed nesting information in a way that allows the assessment of trends over time and between index beach zones. A limitation of the NBS program is that only part of the State s beaches and only part of the complete nesting season are surveyed this way. Monthly reports are compiled for each NBS beach with the daily number of nests and non-nesting emergences from each species and beach zone from May 15 to August 31. As an NBS beach, Siesta Key is also part of the SNBS program. The SNBS program differs from the NBS in its broad coverage of sea turtle nesting. Resources of the SNBS are directed towards maximizing the temporal and geographical surveillance of nesting activities of the State s nesting beaches. A representative sample is taken from each SNBS beach as opposed to the consistency and detail requested on NBS beaches. A limitation of the SNBS program is that effort varies among years and among beaches as new survey areas are added. The two programs complement each other by allowing a detailed assessment of temporal nesting trends as well as providing the extensive data coverage needed to make important management decisions. Procedures Daily monitoring of Siesta Key shoreline began on May 1 and continued until the final nest excavation on October 21 to fulfill the FWC guidelines for sea turtle protection. This monitoring effort was conducted by MML STCRP personnel, interns, and volunteers authorized under FWC Marine Turtle Permit #070, issued to Mr. Ryan Welsh. Personnel monitored for turtle nesting activity by walking the shoreline at dawn above the mean high water line. Upon discovery of an emergence, permitted personnel determined visually whether the emergence was a nest or a non-nesting emergence (also known as a false crawl). A nest was defined as a turtle emergence that resulted in the turtle successfully depositing eggs. A non-nesting emergence (NNE) was defined as an emergence that did not result in egg deposition. Signs of an NNE can include an abandoned body pit or nest chamber. A body pit refers to the sandy depression cleared by a sea turtle s front flippers prior to digging a nest chamber. A nest chamber is a vase-shaped hole excavated by a turtle s rear flippers. The following are examples of NNEs: 1) a turtle that emerged on the beach but did not body pit or excavate a nest chamber and returned to the water, 2) a turtle that emerged and made one or more body pits but did not excavate a nest chamber, or 3) a turtle that emerged, created a body pit and excavated a nest chamber but did not deposit any eggs (often these aborted nest excavations are left uncovered by the turtle). Figure 2 illustrates a NNE and a nest. During the survey along the beach, NNEs and nests were recorded on MML Nest Data Forms (see Appendix A). Nesting success is defined as the proportion of nesting attempts by a sea turtle (emergences onto the beach) that resulted in eggs being deposited. MOTE MARNE LABORATORY Sea Turtle Monitoring, Nest Evaluation, and Protection Measures for Siesta Key

13 Nesting success = (# nests) / (# nests + # NNEs) n previous years, nests laid too close to the water line were immediately relocated. However, in order to document the effects of beach nourishment on nest site selection, communications from FWC Guidelines (2007) stated that eggs were not to be relocated until they were uncovered by high tides and documented washing out. f relocated, eggs were placed in a bucket lined with sand and were transported higher on the beach into an artificially produced nest chamber closely resembling the original nest chamber in shape, size, and depth. All nests were marked by two to four wooden stakes connected with flagging tape and signage identifying the site as a protected sea turtle nest (Figure 3). Each nest was additionally marked with the date the nest was laid and the original location of the nest. Nest location was documented by three methods. n the field, monitoring personnel located nests by (1) relative position to the inland street address, building, or other landmark and by (2) global positioning system (GPS) coordinates. n the STCRP office, these descriptions were checked against annotated aerial photographs to associate the locations to (3) the nearest FDEP monuments. Hatching Surveys and Nest Evaluations During incubation, nests were monitored in the early morning and occasionally again in the evening. Observance of one or more of the following was used to determine the first day of hatch to calculate incubation periods: 1) A hatchling or hatchlings present at the surface, 2) A hatchling crawl or crawls in the sand leading out from the nest area, and/or a depression or emergence hole directly over the nest. Each nest was excavated three days after the initial hatch to enumerate the contents for a hatch success calculation. The delayed nest excavation allowed the majority of hatchlings to emerge from the nest on their own. Nest excavations were recorded on MML Nest Data Forms (see Appendix A). Upon excavation, the contents of the nest were sorted and counted into the following categories: (1) Hatched eggs referred to empty or hatched eggshells (fragments were not included in the tally); (2) Pipped eggs referred to either live or dead hatchlings that punctured the eggshell but did not fully emerged from the egg; (3) Unhatched eggs referred to unopened eggs remaining in the nest at excavation. Hatch success was defined as the proportion of eggs in a nest that produced live hatchlings. Hatch Success = # hatched eggs # total clutch size Emergence success was used to adjust for within nest mortality of hatchlings and to evaluate the number of hatchlings that left the nest. Emergence success represents the number of hatchlings that emerged independently from the nest prior to nest excavation: MOTE MARNE LABORATORY Sea Turtle Monitoring, Nest Evaluation, and Protection Measures for Siesta Key

14 Emergence Success = # hatched eggs - (live hatched + dead hatched in nest chamber) # total clutch size Any live hatchling(s) within a nest were either released immediately or were transferred to a bucket containing moist sand. These buckets of hatchlings were kept in a warm, darkened location until their release on the beach the following evening. Nest excavations and hatchling releases were conducted according to FWC Marine Turtle Conservation Guidelines (2007). Sea Turtle Protection Measures Sea turtle protection measures were implemented during the 2009 season that followed protocols dictated by FWC Marine Turtle Conservation Guidelines (2007) and included: Relocating endangered nests if placed in immediate threat of washing out Caging nests with self-releasing or restraining cages when nests were threatened by predators or lighting Placing an FWC approved fire ant control (Amdro) around nests when fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) were observed Communicating with the Sarasota County Code Enforcement regarding artificial illumination of the beach and hatchling disorientation events due to non-compliant lighting. Data Analysis Sea turtle emergence and hatching data were compiled in a Microsoft Access database. Figures and tables were created in Microsoft Access, Excel, or Word. Statistical analyses were conducted using Access or Excel with the PopTools add-in or with S-Plus 8. Maps were prepared with Google Earth 5.1 using 2007 aerial photography. These data are also available upon request as an ArcMap 9.2 layer using aerial photography with 12 resolution and flown in January 2007 (Spatial references were FL State Plane W NAD 83). NESTNG SUCCESS Turtle Emergences (Nests and Non-Nesting Emergences) Loggerhead turtles accounted for 98.0% of sea turtle activity on Siesta Key in 2009; green turtles accounted for the remaining 2.0%. Loggerhead nesting occurred between May 11 and August 13 and green nesting occurred between June 22 and July 22 (Figure 4). Beach monitoring efforts documented 135 loggerhead nests, 163 loggerhead NNEs, one green turtle nest, and five green turtle NNEs (Appendix A). This is a decrease from the number of loggerhead nests (n = 161) and a decrease from the number of loggerhead NNEs (n = 198) documented in There were 131 in situ and five relocated nests. Nest relocations were conducted due to washing out and close proximity to the mean high water line. All nest locations were documented using a handheld GPS and are mapped on Figure 5. MOTE MARNE LABORATORY Sea Turtle Monitoring, Nest Evaluation, and Protection Measures for Siesta Key

15 There were 29 loggerhead nests and 64 loggerhead NNEs for Outside Project sections, 106 loggerhead nests, 99 loggerhead NNEs, one green turtle nest, and five green turtle NNEs for nside Project sections, and 61 loggerhead nests and 42 loggerhead NNEs, six green turtle nests, and five green turtle NNEs for the Casey Key Control section. Nests in the Casey Key Control section are only considered in the Siesta Key Report for all Reproductive Success calculations. Nesting success on Siesta Key was 45.0% (Table 1). Nesting success for Outside Project sections was 31.2% compared to 25.7% in 2008 and 27.4% in Nesting success for nside Project sections was 50.7% compared to 53.1% in 2008 and 25.1% in Nesting success for the Casey Key Control sections was 58.8% compared to 68.0% in 2008 and 58.7% in Nesting activity was observed from May 17 to August 13 for Outside Project sections, from May 11 to August 10 for nside Project sections, and from May 10 to August 15 for the Casey Key Control section. The 2009 nesting data for the Siesta Key shoreline indicate a 16.1% decrease in loggerhead nest numbers from the 2008 season (Figure 6). Since 1999, Siesta Key loggerhead nesting numbers have shown a downward trend, except for a brief upturn in the 2008 season (Table 1, Figure 6). The decline in Siesta Key loggerhead nesting reflected a general downward trend in loggerhead nesting documented throughout the southeastern U.S. (FWC 2008, Witherington et al. 2009) and mirrored the trend in Sarasota County which hosts the densest loggerhead nesting in the Gulf of Mexico (Appendix C). The 2009 decrease in sea turtle nesting on Siesta Key is also mirrored by other beaches within Sarasota County, and by nesting beaches statewide. Possible causes for the decade-long declining trend in loggerhead nesting numbers include incidental fisheries bycatch (longlines, gill nets, shrimp trawling, artisanal), coastal development, and beach armoring (NMFS/USFWS 2009, Witherington et al. 2009). Historically, nesting densities of sea turtles on Siesta Key range between 10.8 and 38.1 nests/km. Nesting density, including loggerhead and green nests, was 15.1 nests/km (24.3 nests/mi) across Siesta Key (Table 1), with 5.2 nests/km (8.4 nest/mi) for Outside Project sections, 31.5 nests/km (50.7 nest/mi) for nside Project sections and 41.9 nests/km (67.0 nest/mi) for Casey Key Control sections. Green turtle nesting density was 0.0 nests/km (0.0 nests/mi) in the Outside Project section, 0.3 nests/km (0.5 nests/mi) in the nside Project sections, and 3.8 nests/km (6.0 nests/mi) in the Casey Key Control section. According to the FWC, a nest with no subsequent evidence of hatching is termed a mystery nest. Zero of the 136 nests (0%) were mystery nests. Without independent evidence, it can only be presumed that a nest was inaccurately classified, inundated, or poached. Mystery nests are included in calculations of nesting success, but are omitted from calculations for hatch success and emergence success. Categorization of Non-Nesting Emergences (NNEs) Sea turtles searching the shoreline for a suitable nesting site may abandon a nesting attempt and return to the water without depositing a clutch. The NNEs can be categorized by the stage at which the turtle abandoned or terminated nesting (Table 2). MOTE MARNE LABORATORY Sea Turtle Monitoring, Nest Evaluation, and Protection Measures for Siesta Key

16 n 2009, the 168 NNEs on Siesta Key were categorized as: 1) 104 emergences with no digging; 2) 51 emergences with one or more body pits but no nest chamber; and 3) thirteen emergences with a minimum of one abandoned nest chamber. The 64 NNEs documented for Outside Project shoreline were categorized as: 1) 46 emergences with no digging; 2) eleven emergences with one or more body pits but no nest chamber; and 3) seven emergences with a minimum of one abandoned nest chamber. The 104 NNEs for the nside Project shoreline were categorized as: 1) 58 emergences with no digging; 2) 40 emergences with one or more body pits but no nest chamber; and 3) six emergences with a minimum of one abandoned nest chamber. The 47 NNEs for the Casey Key Control shoreline were categorized as: 1) 28 emergences with no digging; 2) 18 emergences with one or more body pits but no nest chamber; and 3) one emergence with a minimum of one abandoned nest chamber. The 2009 data are similar to those from 2008, with most NNEs categorized as emergences without digging a body pit or nest chamber. Based on FWC data collected throughout Florida s nesting beaches, the proportions of nests and NNEs should be relatively similar and the balance between the two serves as an indicator of a beach s nesting suitability. When numbers of NNEs substantially exceed that of nests, it typically indicates that some combination of factors deters the turtles from nesting. The skewed ratio of nests:nnes can be associated with natural causes (e.g., escarpments, beach compactness, or flooding) or human-related factors (e.g., beach lighting, beach armoring structures, beach furniture, or physical harassment). The first NNE on May 11 occurred six days before the first nest was laid. n 2009, 55% of turtle emergences were classified as NNEs. The distribution of NNE events along the length of Siesta Key identified specific problem areas (Figure 7). n relation to the FDEP monuments, the relative number of nests and NNEs along Siesta Key highlight specific zones for elevated NNEs. Troublesome areas with many NNEs should be reviewed to flag the problem source (e.g., unshielded lights) and beachfront property owners should be advised of more turtle friendly solutions. Using this proactive approach could potentially reduce the number of NNEs during the 2010 nesting season. Regions with lower nesting success were FDEP monuments R-50 to R-66 (13 nests: 57 NNEs). The northern end of Siesta historically has lower nesting numbers and nesting success due in part to a high amount of artificial lighting and the level of human activity as well as a flat beach profile and extreme sand compaction. Regions with highest nesting success were adjacent to FDEP monuments R-67 to R-70 (64 nests: 30 NNEs). This area is dominated by single family homes with a relatively low amount of artificial lighting and is far from the public beach with a low amount of human activity. Visual Assessment of Obstructions to Nesting Turtles accessing the Siesta Key shoreline encountered obstacles on 195 emergences, representing 64.5% of all activities (Figure 8). Of these emergences, 50.8% (99/195) resulted in NNEs. Turtles were obstructed by escarpments (170), rock revetments (18), holes dug by people MOTE MARNE LABORATORY Sea Turtle Monitoring, Nest Evaluation, and Protection Measures for Siesta Key

17 (5), beach debris (2), dune walkovers (2), seawalls (2), beach furniture (2), an outfall basin (1), a road (1), human made piles of sand (1) and signs on the beach (1). For Outside Project sections, 65.7% (23/35) of turtles that encountered obstacles (seven turtles encountered multiple obstacles) did not nest; obstacles included rock revetments (15), escarpments (12), holes dug by people (5), beach furniture (2), seawalls (2), beach walkovers (2), a road (1), an outfall basin (1), human made piles of sand (1) and signs on the beach (1).. For nside Project sections, 47.5% (76/160) of turtles that encountered obstacles (two turtles encountered multiple obstacles) did not nest; obstacles included escarpments (158), rock revetments (2), and beach debris (1). For Casey Key Control sections 41.5% (27/65) of turtles that encountered obstacles (two turtles encountered multiple obstacles) did not nest; obstacles included escarpments (64), beach furniture (2), and beach debris (1). A common finding with new nourishment projects is a relative increase in the number of NNEs due to escarpment encounters because nourished beaches usually have a flatter profile and are more susceptible to escarpment formation. Vertical escarpment heights in the Project area were a maximum of 4 ft during the 2009 nesting season. n 2009, turtles encountered escarpments on 55.9% of all emergences (170/304), compared to 35.4% of all emergences in 2008, 13.2% (45/341) in 2007, and 9.1% (29/318) in Of all escarpment encounters, 47.6% (81/170) resulted in NNEs. n 2009, 0.7% of all sea turtle emergences (2/304) encountered beach furniture. Of these emergences encountering beach furniture, 50.0% (1/2) resulted in NNEs. The number of recorded occasions where beach furniture or temporary structures were an obstruction to nesting turtles has decreased consistently over the last several years. There were 0.8% (3/364) reported incidences of beach furniture obstructions on Siesta Key in 2008 and none in This decrease in obstructed nesting attempts can potentially be attributed to a 2005 amendment to Sarasota County s Sea Turtle Ordinance that requires the nightly removal of beach furniture and other temporary structures from May 1 through October 31. Nest Site Selection Monitoring personnel measured the beach width on the morning after nest deposition. Measurements were taken from the nest to the closest upland vegetation or barrier and from the nest to the day s mean high water line. By dividing the available beach width into thirds, turtle preferences for nest site selection on the upper, middle or lower third of the beach could be determined, regardless of beach width. Nests which lacked distance measurements (n = 5) were omitted from the analysis. Of the nests on Siesta Key, 19.8% (26/131) were in the upper third of the beach, 32.1% (42/131) were in the middle third, and 48.1% (63/131) were in the lower third. For nests in the Outside Project section, 42.9% (12/28) were in the upper third of the beach, 42.9% (12/28) were in the middle third, and 14.2% (4/28) were in the lower third. For nests in the nside Project section, 13.6% (14/103) were in the upper third of the beach, 29.1% (30/103) were in the middle third, and 57.3% (59/103) were in the lower third. For nests in the Casey Key Control section, 64.6% MOTE MARNE LABORATORY Sea Turtle Monitoring, Nest Evaluation, and Protection Measures for Siesta Key

18 (42/65) were in the upper third of the beach, 26.2% (17/65) were in the middle third, and 9.2% (6/65) were in the lower third. These data useful indicators because studies suggest that nesting sea turtles have limited energy resources to utilize when ascending a beach (Brock et al., 2009, Crain et al., 1995, Wood and Bjorndal, 2000). These energetic constraints are thought to create a pattern of nest site selection closer to the high water line on recently nourished beaches that are broader and flatter than on more steeply profiled beaches. This situation is troublesome as nests close to the high water line have a higher probability of being inundated or washed out during storms. The 2009 Siesta Key data show this expected pattern. nside the Project, 13.6% (14/103) of nests were in the upper third of the beach compared to 57.3% (59/103) in the lower third. Nest Chamber Characteristics Nest chamber measurements were tabulated for nests nside Project, Outside Project and the Casey Key Control (Table 3). Sea turtles dig their nest chambers using only their rear flippers. Nests that were determined to be laid by turtles with rear flipper deformities were excluded from this analysis because the focus is on differing sand characteristics between native and non-native beaches and not sea turtle morphometrics. Nests in the Outside Project sections averaged 40.7 cm in depth (range cm), 19.1 cm in width (range cm), and 17.9 cm from the sand surface to the top of the clutch (range 9-32 cm). Nests in the nside Project sections averaged 45.5 cm in depth (range cm), 24.8 cm in width (range cm), and 27.6 cm from the sand surface to the top of the clutch (range cm). Nests in the Casey Key Control sections averaged 41.3 cm in depth (range cm), 23.4 cm in width (range cm), and 24.9 cm from the sand surface to the top of the clutch (range cm). Nests Lost to Erosion or nundation There were no hurricanes or named storms contributing to coastal erosion and/or sand accretion for the 2009 nesting season. Tidal activity caused inundation of 30.9% (42/136) of nests on Siesta Key (Table 4), thirteen of which washed out. Twenty-five nests were affected by more than one storm event. nundations during 2009 impacted Siesta Key to a lesser extent than in 2008 when 47.6% (78/164) of nests were inundated by storms. Of the nests affected by tidal activity, 34.5% (10/29) of inundated nests and 0% (0/13) of washed out nests were located in the Outside Project area. Of the nests affected by tidal activity, 65.5% (19/29) of inundated nests and 100% (13/13) of washed out nests were located in the nside Project area. Nest Damage by Depredation or nvasion Predators affected 18.2% (25/136) of nests (Figure 9) The depredation incidents involved raccoons (9), roots (7), nesting turtles while covering (6), ghost crabs (3), domestic dog (1), and unknown predators (3) (Tables 5a and 5b). Some nests were affected by multiple predation events. The percentage of depredated nests increased from 14.6% (24/164) in MOTE MARNE LABORATORY Sea Turtle Monitoring, Nest Evaluation, and Protection Measures for Siesta Key

19 t is notable that raccoon predation was high at the southern end of Siesta Key in 2003 and 2004, yet was not observed in 2005 or 2006 and once in n 2008, seven nests were predated by raccoons and in 2009 nine nests were depredated near the northern end of Casey Key where raccoons are a consistent and growing problem. A 2-ft 3 self-releasing cage or 4-ft 2 self-releasing screen of 2 x 4 wire mesh was placed over three nests that were either depredated or in danger of depredation. The exact location of the clutch was determined before placement to avoid damaging the clutch. Nests were treated with an FWC approved fire ant control (Amdro) when fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) were observed in or near the nests. n 2009, zero nests were affected by fire ants and excavated early to prevent fire ants from colonizing the nest. Three incidents of nest vandalism occurred in Stakes were broken and/or removed from one nest located at 6512 Midnight Pass Road (Crescent View Beach Club) (on 6/21 and 6/22),. STCRP staff noted these problems and replaced stakes. Human digging was noted in a nest at 5404 Calle de la Siesta (on 8/19), STCRP staff checked the nest and all eggs remained intact. One instance of people harassing hatchling turtles as they emerged was reported by a local homeowner at 8000 Sanderling. The homeowner reportedly called the homeowners associations security guards, who ordered the perpetrators to leave the beach. No police report was filed. STCRP staff checked on the nest the next day and found to evidence that hatchlings were injured. To help prevent similar circumstances in the future, more information about sea turtles should be distributed to hotels and condominiums in the area. Additional signage explaining the repercussions for tampering with endangered sea turtle nests may also be helpful. ncidents of human disturbance on Siesta Key dropped in 2009 compared to 2008 when four nests were vandalized. No nests were poached in 2008 or REPRODUCTVE SUCCESS ncubation period Calculations of mean incubation period only include nests for which both the date laid and date hatched were known (n = 102; Table 6). Several inter-related factors such as nest location on the beach, amount of rainfall, substrate color, and environmental temperature contribute to the complex variations in incubation temperature that in turn dictate incubation period. The average incubation period for both in situ and relocated loggerhead nests on Siesta Key (n = 102) was 50.7 days with a range of days. The average incubation period for in situ loggerhead nests (n = 97) was 50.9 days with a range of days. The average incubation period for relocated loggerhead nests (n = 5) was 47.8 days with a range of days. The first loggerhead nest hatched on July 13 and the last nest hatched on October 2. The single green turtle nest located in the nside Project section incubated 49.0 days and hatched on August 1. MOTE MARNE LABORATORY Sea Turtle Monitoring, Nest Evaluation, and Protection Measures for Siesta Key

20 n the Outside Project section, the average incubation period for in situ loggerhead nests (n = 18) was 57.8 days with a range of days. There were no relocated nests in the Outside Project sections. n the nside Project sections, in situ loggerhead nests (n = 79) had an average incubation period of 49.3 days with a range of days. The five relocated nests in the nside Project section had an average incubation period of 47.8 days with a range of days. n the Casey Key Control area, in situ loggerhead nests (n = 37) had an average incubation of 51.9 days with a range of days. The two relocated nests in the Casey Key Control section had an average incubation period of 56.0 days with a range of days. Hatch Success Hatch success was calculated for 92 in situ loggerhead nests and one relocated loggerhead nest for which complete excavation data were documented. These nests were separated into inundated and non-inundated categories (Table 7). Nests were excavated and inventoried with contents sorted into categories of hatched eggs, unhatched eggs, live or dead pipped hatchlings, and live or dead hatchlings. Statistics were compiled from the results pooled for all individual nests. Nests that were washing out were not included in the hatch or emergence success calculations. The hatch success for both in situ and relocated loggerhead nests (n = 93 nests and 9,077 eggs) was 42.0% with 51.8% unhatched eggs and 6.2% pipped eggs. The hatch success of in situ loggerhead nests (n = 92) was 41.7% with 52.1% unhatched eggs and 6.2% pipped eggs. The relocated loggerhead nest (n = 1) had a hatch success of 64.7% with 32.8% unhatched eggs and 2.5% pipped eggs. The hatch success for in situ loggerhead nests is lower than in 2008 (65.9%, n = 90). The hatch success for relocated loggerhead nests is lower than in 2008 (82.6%, n = 1). Loggerhead nests had a hatch success of 32.7% in Outside Project sections (n = 20), 44.4% in nside Project sections (n = 73), and 76.4% in the Casey Key Control section (n = 28). Hatch success was 37.0% for inundated loggerhead nests (n = 25) and 43.8% for non-inundated nests (n = 68). The green turtle nest (n = 1) in the nside Project section was not inundated and had a hatch success of 73.5% with 22.1% unhatched eggs and 4.4% pipped eggs. Emergence Success Emergence success was calculated for nests for which complete excavation data were documented. The emergence success for all loggerhead nests (n = 93) was 38.2%. The emergence success of in situ loggerhead nests (n = 92) was 37.8%. The one relocated loggerhead nest had an emergence success of 62.1%. The emergence success for in situ loggerhead nests is lower than in 2008 (61.1%, n = 90). The emergence success for relocated loggerhead nests is lower than in 2008 (82.6%, n = 1). The emergence success for loggerhead nests was 27.6% in Outside Project (n = 20), 40.8% in nside Project (n = 73), and 73.2% the Casey Key Control area (n = 28). nundated nests (n = 25) had 33.4% emergence success while non-inundated nests (n = 68) had 39.9% emergence success. The green turtle nest (n = 1) in nside Project was not inundated and had 66.9% emergence success. MOTE MARNE LABORATORY Sea Turtle Monitoring, Nest Evaluation, and Protection Measures for Siesta Key

21 Excavations of loggerhead nests for which complete excavation data were documented (in situ: n = 92; relocated: n = 1) revealed that 3,465 hatchlings emerged independently prior to nest excavation. Excavation of the in situ green turtle nest (n = 1) revealed 91 hatchlings emerged independently prior to nest excavation. n addition, at excavation, a total of 171 live hatchlings were found remaining in loggerhead nests (Table 8) and nine live hatchlings were found remaining in the green turtle nest. Nests with incomplete excavation data (i.e., nests that were excavated early, depredated or partial washouts) produced an additional 1,439 live loggerhead (n = 30) and zero live green hatchlings (n = 0). A total of 3,636 (3, ) live hatchlings loggerhead hatchlings and a total of 100 (91+9) live green hatchlings emerged independently from Siesta nests. Hatchling Disorientation Events Five adult turtle and 24 hatchling disorientation events were documented, resulting in a minimum of 237 disoriented hatchlings (Table 9, Appendix B). Using only viable nests (i.e., those from which hatchlings emerged) a disorientation rate of 22.2% was observed, compared to 18.5% in 2008, 27.8% in 2007 and 5.3% in 2006 (Figure 10). The disorientation rate of all nests, both viable and nonviable (i.e., zero emergence) was 17.7% compared to 15.2% in 2008, 21.7% in 2007, and 31.3% in 2006 (Figure 10). Although the percentages have historically been low, disorientations reached a high in 2007 and have dropped slightly (Figure 10). When compared to other Sarasota beaches, Siesta Key disorientations have historically been the lowest but are now consistently high. (Appendix C). Disorientations were related to lighting from hotels or condominiums (15), sky glow (14), single family residences (14), flashlights on the beach (2), lights from parking lots (2), pool lights (1), street lights (1), dune crossovers (1), and unknown causes (1). n some events, there was more than one cause for disorientation (Table 9, Figure 11). Hotels or condominiums, sky glow, and single family residences was the most frequent causes of disorientations, being implicated in 84.3% of all reports. n each documented case, STCRP personnel communicated with the Sarasota County Code Enforcement Officers about artificial illumination of the beach and hatchling or adult turtle disorientation events due to non-compliant lighting. Urban sky glow caused more disorientation in 2008 and 2009 than in previous years. The higher beach elevation created through beach nourishment possibly made the sky glow to the north more visible than in previous years with shorter beach widths. Evaluation of the temporal and spatial patterns of disorientations may indicate specific areas that were lighting hotspots or areas that may be repeated trouble spots. These areas can be targeted for specific action with lighting education, or additional code enforcement if needed. Evidence documented by FWC from past Florida beach renourishment projects has demonstrated that nourished beaches are taller and wider, thus allowing more light to be visible for a greater MOTE MARNE LABORATORY Sea Turtle Monitoring, Nest Evaluation, and Protection Measures for Siesta Key

22 distance along the beach axis. The steep rise in disorientation events observed in 2007 and continuing in 2009 is consistent with this pattern. A possible future action for curbing the disorientations on Siesta Key may be a lighting workshop such as conducted in 2007, 2008, and 2009 for the Town of Longboat Key and in 2006 for the City of Venice. Representatives from the local, state, and federal levels discussed lighting and its impacts to nesting sea turtles and emerging hatchlings as well as options for turtle friendly lighting. Attending homeowners and property owners were given the chance to complete the official marine turtle exterior lighting exam. This may be an option for Siesta Key residents. To reduce the potential impacts from the current renourishment project in future years, property owners must put into effect what they learn at the lighting seminar, and the Sarasota Beach Lighting Ordinance must be strictly enforced. Other opportunities will be supported through education efforts addressed at the specific addresses that were out of compliance in the past. Each FDEP permit for a specific nourishment project stipulates that nighttime lighting inspections must address outstanding lighting issues before May 1. Ongoing checks should reoccur in July at the advent of hatching season and continue until the last nest hatches. Lighting workshops co-hosted by MML are planned for 2010 and hopefully will result in improved compliance with Sarasota s Sea Turtle Protection Ordinance. Failure to comply can result in penalties as indicated by Ordinance No ranging up to $1000 per day for the first violation and $5000 per day for a repeat violation. As always, frequent nighttime lighting inspections must begin early in the sea turtle nesting season and continue until the last nest has hatched. Many disorientations are easily preventable by adhering to the rules of Keep it low, keep it long, keep it shielded with continued diligence and efforts to educate and notify residents. However, not all adhere to these rules and thus skyglow and unknown light sources were primary causes of disorientations within the jurisdictional area of the Enforcement Code in n some cases, disorientations occurred with very dark adjacent properties that were adhering to or even exceeding the guidelines for good lighting compliance. Lighting issues can be complicated, and the simple guidelines are useful steps for point sources of light, but may not be adequate if urban skyglow is a larger issue. n such cases, there may be need for light shielding by vegetation screens. This may develop as a Florida-wide coastal issue for beachfront environments where nonnative vegetation (particularly Australian pines, Casuarina equisetifolia) is removed or suffers storm damage.

114 Study of ncubation Conditions on Sarasota County Beaches The detailed outcomes of sea turtle nesting are directly associated with the physical properties of beach sediments. Beach nourishment changes the sediment properties and is widely acknowledged to affect a turtle s choice of nesting beach and hatch success of the nest. Nourished sand differs from native sand in many properties such as compactness, shear resistance, grain size, temperature, moisture content, calcium carbonate, and gas diffusion rates. These factors influence incubation conditions and are critical to monitor because the sex of turtle hatchlings is determined during incubation. Four of six Sarasota County beaches are nourished (Longboat Key, Lido Key, Siesta Key, and Venice). To address these concerns, the STCRP conducted pilot studies of thermal profiles on nourished and non-nourished beaches in 2004 as cross comparison of the nourishment projects. Representative nourished and non-nourished sections were selected on five beaches: Longboat Key, Lido Key, Siesta Key, Casey Key, and Venice. Thermal data loggers (button 1921H, Dallas Semiconductors, or Hobo Pendants, Onset Computers) were deployed in a sealed plastic bag and tethered near selected nests, at typical nest depths (40 cm). The loggers were placed adjacent to a nest to monitor ambient beach temperatures, rather than within a nest to track incubation temperature. The intended experimental design was to place a minimum of five data loggers per beach, or if a beach had both nourished and non-nourished sections (Longboat Key, Lido Key, Siesta Key, and Venice), then data loggers apportioned within each beach type. However, inevitable changes in the nourishment schedule and storm-related erosion caused some delays or loss of instruments, which made minor compromises to the planned design. For loggerhead turtles, sex is determined by the thermal conditions in the middle third of incubation around a pivotal temperature of roughly F which theoretically produces equivalent numbers of male and female hatchlings. Warmer conditions produce more females while cooler conditions result in more male offspring. Thermal traces during the middle third of incubation suggested that nests on nourished beaches were likely producing predominantly or exclusively female offspring. This is in contrast to middle incubation conditions on non-nourished beaches, which generally produce incubation conditions approximately 5.4 F cooler on average. We interpret the warmer incubation conditions on nourished sections of beach to be the result of darker sand color, possibly from a mixture of fine clay particles, relative to native beaches, which have high quartz content and overall lighter colored sands. This preliminary report is subject to more thorough evaluation as new data are collected and evaluated. n particular, the nourishment projects on Longboat Key deposited a two layer fill of darker more stable base layers covered by a white sand top layer in some locations. This unique prescription for depositing sand is an attempt to combine beach stability and desirable properties of a clean sand layer. These data are currently being analyzed by Jennifer Estes, Ph.D. student under Dr. Thane Wibbels at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

117 E1. BEACH FURNTURE Daily morning reports from turtle patrol volunteers document any beach furniture violations that are reported the same day to Sarasota County. On 7/16/09, Sarasota County sent out Notices of Violation (NOV) to a number of repeat offenders within the same year violating the Sarasota County Beach Furniture Ordinance including: 6300 Midnight Pass Road (Crystal Sands), 6263 Midnight Pass Road (Excelsior Beach to Bay), and 6308 Midnight Pass Road (Crescent Arms). n addition 24 warning letters for lighting and beach furniture violations were also issued on Siesta Key. n most cases, the NOVs appeared to be a successful solution. However an Affidavit of violation for beach furniture was administered to 6300 Midnight Pass Road (Crystal Sands) on 8/3/09. The case was heard before a Special Magistrate and the property was found in violation of the Marine Turtle Code. Since August 10 and for the remainder of the 2009 sea turtle nesting season, turtle patrol volunteers reported no beach furniture violations. A. B. C. D. Figure E1-1.
