INTRODUCTION

The Gulf of Mexico shoreline of Venice, Sarasota County, Florida is utilized as nesting habitat by loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and green (Chelonia mydas) sea turtles. Both species are protected under the federal Endangered Species Act of1973, State of Florida Statutes (Section 161.163), the Sarasota County Sea Turtle Protection Ordinance No. 97-082 and City of Venice Ordinance No. 95-07 which amends Ordinance No. 1307-88. The green turtle is listed as endangered in Florida and on the Pacific coast of Mexico and is listed in Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna (CITES). The loggerhead was listed in 1978, as a threatened species. Internationally it is considered "Vulnerable" and is listed in Appendix I (CITES).

In addition to the above, juvenile Kemp's ridley (Lepidochelys kempii) and juvenile green turtles utilize the near-shore waters of the central Gulf coast of Florida as developmental habitat. The Kemp's ridley is the most critically endangered of all sea turtle species and as such is protected throughout its range (Gulf of Mexico and northwestern Atlantic Ocean).

Land based threats to these protected marine turtles include beach erosion, beach armoring, beach nourishment activities, artificial lighting, beach cleaning, increased human presence, recreational 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, dredging, marina and dock development, pollution, seagrass bed degradation, fisheries activities including hook and line fisheries, boat collisions, offshore artificial lighting, ingestion of marine debris, poaching and predation (NMFSIUSFW, 1991).

To enable construction projects to occur on marine turtle nesting habitat, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWCC), Division of Protected Species Management, and the National Marine Fisheries / U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service request that data be made available pertaining to the species of marine turtles utilizing the habitat, the nest success, and any protection measures undertaken to protect the adult turtle, the nest, and the emerging hatchlings.

The following is a summary of sea turtle monitoring, including nest protection measures, hatch success, and stranding incidents for Venice beaches for the year 2000.

MARINE TURTLE MONITORING

Location

Venice Beach is located in Sarasota County along the central gulf coast of Florida. The entire beach length is approximately 7.4 kilometers. Venice Inlet, at Florida Department of Environmental Protection's (FDEP) Coastal Construction Control Line Monument R-115, forms the northern terminus of Venice beach. The southern terminus is located at Monument R-138, located approximately 100 feet south of the southern most wooden ramp/walkover at Casperson Beach (Figure 1). The shoreline includes Venice Public Beach, Golden Beach, Sunset Beach, Brohard Beach and North Casperson Beach.

The shoreline from Venice Inlet (R-115) south to the north end of Brohard Beach (R-133) was restored (nourished) in two phases beginning in 1994 and ending in 1996. The Brohard Beach and Casperson Beach shoreline (R -133 to R -138) has not been restored and is herein after referred to as native or natural beach. The shoreline is characterized by high density development, both residential single and multifamily, and commercial development from Venice Inlet (R-115) south to Service Club Park (-650' S ofR-128). From here south the area consists of undeveloped park with the exception of the Venice Fishing Pier, Sharky's Restaurant and parking lot, and the City of Venice Sewage Treatment Plant. This developed area is located from approximately 400 feet south of Monument R-130 to approximately 700 feet south of Monument T -131.

PROCEDURES

Daily Monitoring

Beginning May 1 sl daily early morning monitoring of Venice beaches was begun to fulfill the Florida Department of Environmental Protection guidelines for sea turtle protection and to fulfill the scope of work contracted by Mote Marine Laboratory (MML) with the City of Venice. Mote Marine Laboratory personnel and volunteer patrol personnel are permitted through Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWCC) under the 2000 marine turtle permit #028 (Appendix A).

Monitoring for adult marine turtle nesting activity was conducted by personnel walking the shoreline above the mean high water line. Upon discovery of a marine turtle emergence FWCC permitted personnel visually determined whether the emergence was a nest or a non-nesting emergence (or false crawl). A non-nesting emergence (NNE) was defined as an emergence which did not result in egg deposition.

The following are examples of non-nesting emergences: 1) a turtle that moved onto the beach but did not excavate a nest cavity and returned to the water, or 2) a turtle that moved up the beach, excavated a nest cavity or numerous nest cavities but for unknown reasons did not deposit any eggs in the nest (often these aborted nest excavations are left uncovered by the turtle). A nest was defined as a turtle emergence which resulted in the turtle successfully depositing eggs. When an emergence resulted in what "appeared" to the experienced patrol personnel to be a nest the site was identified as a "possible nest" and was monitored along with the nests to observe for hatching. These possible nests were reclassified as either nests or false crawls depending on the outcome.

During the daily patrol down the beach, false crawls and nests were recorded on MML Nesting Data forms (Appendix B). If the nest was determined to be endangered, it was carefully hand excavated. The eggs were placed in a bucket lined with sand and were transplanted higher on the beach. All nests, whether relocated or left in situ, were marked and encircled by wooden stakes connected with yellow surveyors' flagging tape and signage (Figure 2) identifYing the site as a protected sea turtle nest. Each nest was additionally marked with the date the nest was laid and the location of the nest. Nest location was documented by two methods. In the field, monitoring personnel located nests by relative position to the nearest street address, building, or other landmark. These descriptions were then checked in the Laboratory's offices against annotated aerial photographs to associate the locations to the nearest FDEP monuments.

Hatching Surveys and Nest Evaluation

After 45 days incubation, nests were monitored daily to document evidence of hatch. 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

3) a depression or emergence hole in the sand directly over the nest.

Following FWCC Marine Turtle Permit Guidelines nests are excavated three days or 72 hours after the initial hatch to determine hatch success. The delayed nest excavation allows the majority of hatchlings to emerge from the nest on their own. Hatchlings that have emerged on their own are more vigorous and are better equipped to handle the trek down the shoreline to the water. Once in the water these hatchlings also have a better chance at survival as their external yolk sacs have been completely utilized and/or absorbed allowing the hatchling to dive more readily and to swim more vigorously.

Data from nest evaluations were recorded on the Nesting Data forms.

• Upon excavation the number hatched was calculated from the number of empty eggshells found in the nest.

• Pipped eggs referred to either live or dead hatchlings that had punctured the eggshell but had not fully emerged, these are not included in the number hatched.

• The number of unhatched referred to the number of unhatched eggs found in the nest upon excavation.

• The number of hatched shells minus the number of live and dead hatchlings found in the nest account for the number of hatchlings that emerged from the nest on their own prior to nest excavation.

When live hatchlings were found in the nest they were either released immediately or were transferred to a bucket containing moist sand and kept for release that same evening. Nest excavations and hatchling releases were conducted according to FWCC Marine Turtle Permit guidelines.

Data Analysis

Marine turtle emergence and hatching data were compiled using Paradox, a dBase compatible software program by Borland and Assoc. Figures and Tables were created using a combination of Paradox, Word Perfect (Corel) and Super Calc (Computer Assoc.).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Turtle Emergences (Nests & Non-nesting emergences)

The beach monitoring procedures discussed above resulted in the documentation of a total of275 nests and 312 non-nesting emergences (Appendix C) for the Venice shoreline. All ofthe nests were completed by loggerhead turtles, no green turtle nests were documented for the 2000 season (although one nest was recorded on Casey Key to the north of Venice; and 11 were recorded on Manasota Key adjacent and to the south of Venice). The nest to non-nesting emergence ratio was 0.88 nests to one non-nesting emergence. When the nesting data is examined for the years 1991 through 2000 (Table 1) it is evident that nesting numbers show an overall increasing trend. The ten year nesting range documents a high of290 nests in 1999 and a low of148 nests in 1991. Nesting was down in 2000 from 1999 by 15 nests while non-nesting emergences increased by a total of 41. The nest to non-nesting emergence ratio has varied through the years but 1999 was the first year in which nest numbers exceeded the false crawl numbers. It is important to note that prior to the summer of 1996 the shoreline was comprised of small pocket beaches separated by seawalls, rock revetments & sandy escarpments. Suitable nesting habitat was available only in pocket beach areas yet successful nesting occurred as evidenced by the numbers in Table 1. A consistent and wide beach became available following the 1996 nesting season. MOTE MARINE LABORATORY

Nesting activity on the restored beach, located between FDEP Monuments R-115 and R-133 , was documented at 194 nests and 222 non-nesting emergences (Figure 3). The southern 5,000 feet of shoreline (R-133 to R-138) has not been included in previous beach restoration projects. This native or natural beach consists of a narrow sloped shoreline. Eighty one nests and 90 non-nesting emergences were reported here. These figures indicate that for the 2000 season there were approximately 57 nests per mile (35.4 nests per km) on the restored beach and approximately 85.6 nests per mile (53.2 nests per km) on the native beach. The seasonal pattern of marine turtle emergences for the Venice shoreline for both the restored beach and the natural beach is shown in Figure 4.

For the entire Venice shoreline the first emergence, a nest, was documented May 151 on the shoreline west of880 Tarpon Center Drive between CCL Monuments R-118 and R-119. On August 27th the last emergence of the season, also a nest, was documented on the shoreline at north Casperson Public between CCL Monuments R-136 and 137. The period of peak nesting occurred in the eight weeks between May 14th and July 16th . Copies ofthe Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Nesting Survey Reporting Form for 2000 and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission - Nest Success Reporting Formfor 2000 which summarize the sea turtle activity for the 2000 season are included as (Appendix D).

Cross-Shore Nest Position

Turtles accessing the Venice .shoreline for nesting had access to sandy beach habitat that ranged in width from approximately 10 to 350 feet above the daily mean high tide. In order to determine the turtles' preference in nesting location, or the cross-shore nest position on the beach, two methods were employed. In one method the beach width at nest sites was measured while in the second method the beach width at each nest site was visually estimated in the field. The beach width was divided into thirds, and nest locations were then classified as either upper beach (landward), middle beach, or lower beach (seaward).

By looking at the beach regardless of width (Table 2) the seaward third or lower beach was the preferred location with 54% (n= 148) ofthe nests. Thirty one percent (n=84) of the nests occurred in the middle beach area, and 15% (n=41) occurred on the upper beach.

When looking at the number of feet above the daily mean high tide line for each nest it is evident that, regardless of total beach width, the turtles preferred to nest within the seaward 60 feet (Table 3). These data are consistent with previous Venice data (Foote et aI, 1995, 1997 and 1998), and the nesting data from Longboat Key, Florida (Foote and Truitt, 1993, Foote and Mueller 1999) where

Nest Damage

Thirty two percent (n=88) of the nests along the Venice shoreline experienced either partial or complete destruction during the 2000 season (Table 4). Nest damage was caused by raccoon, fire ant and ghost crab predation; and by water over the nests due to high tides or storm surge, and nests washing out due to the same.

The summer of 2000 included tropical storm and hurricane activity that impacted the Gulf Coast beaches and many nests were inundated by tidal activity. Because ofthis both nest and hatch success was influenced. Fifty two nests (18.9%) along the shoreline were inundated (Table 5). Of these, 24 were subsequently washed out by tidal activity associated with Hurricane Gordon or tropical storm events. Twenty five of the nests experienced some hatch, with the percent of hatch ranging from a low of 0.97% to a high of99%.

Incubation

The average incubation was calculated for in situ and relocated nests for the entire Venice shoreline. In situ nests for which the emergence date and the hatch date were known (n = 130) had an average incubation rate of 49 days (range 43-63 days). Nests that were relocated and had known emergence and hatch dates (n = 17) also had an average incubation of 49 days (range 46-54 days). There appeared to be no significant difference in incubation for in situ versus relocated nests.

Nest Success Evaluation

One hundred ninety nine out of a total of275 nests were excavated for nest success evaluations. Only nests for which MML had complete data were evaluated. Nests for which complete data were not available were not included in the following calculations (n=76). All partial data were recorded for

Excavations of evaluated nests revealed a total of 463 live hatchlings and 305 dead hatchlings remained in the nests as compared to 15,399 that had emerged on their own within the 72 hours prior to nest excavation (Table 7). The percent of hatchlings that emerged successfully from relocated nests was 93.9% as compared to 95.4% emergence success for in situ nests. The overall emergence success for the evaluated nests was 95.2%.

Hatchling Disorientation Events

A total of 12 hatchling disorientation events (Appendix E) were recorded for the season (Table 8). After emerging from the nest, hatchlings typically move away from shadows (e.g., dune vegetation, tree silhouettes, and unlighted structures) and move toward the lighter, open horizon of the water (Salmon, et al., 1992). Hatchlings are attracted to artificial lighting Witherington et al., 1996 and Witherington and Martin, 1996) and instead of heading toward the water will travel great distances to artificially lighted areas. This activity oflooping around and traveling in a direction other than to MOTE MAIuNE LABORATORY

the water is termed a disorientation Disorientation events often lead to death of the hatchling from dehydration, predation, or being run over by vehicular traffic when they travel to roadways or parking lots. Disorientation events may involve from one hatchling to an entire nest.

It is important to note that in nourished beach locations where the new beach is much wider than the native or pre-project beach, the hatchling has a much better view of surrounding lights and can be impacted by them for the duration ofthe period oftime that it is on the beach. The City of Venice and :M11L continued to work toward compliance with the City of V enice Lighting Ordinance. It is critical that the issue of "turtle friendly" lighting (no lighting, shielded or dimmed lighting, lights low to the ground and shielded by vegetative barriers) along the beachfront property of V enice be kept foremost in the City plans.

All disorientation events are recorded on Marine Turtle Hatchling Disorientation Incident Report Forms and submitted the FWCC, Florida Marine Research Institute. The forms utilized by Mote Marine Laboratory are the same as those provided by the FWCC with the exception that we have added our Mote Logo, the nest location category, a box for sketching the disorientation, and the checklist on the upper right comer. All other questions/categories are identical to those on the FWCC form. This data is submitted to FWCC as per our sea turtle permit requirements.

involved the stranding of dead turtles. On June 6th the remains of a subadult loggerhead turtle washed ashore on Venice Public south of the southern lifeguard tower. Three propeller lacerations punctured the anterior portion of the carapace (upper shell) but because of the advanced state of decomposition the turtle was not transported to Mote Marine Laboratory for necropsy and the exact cause of death remains unknown.

The second stranding occurred on July 6th when the remains of an adult loggerhead washed ashore gulfside of700 Golden Beach Blvd. Approximately 1.9 miles south of Venice Inlet. The location was documented as approximately at DNR Monument R -125. Propeller lacerations through the carapace were documented. Because ofthe advanced state of decomposition the remains were not transported to Mote Marine Laboratory and the exact cause of death could not be determined. It is unknown whether the boat strike occurred prior or subsequent to the death ofthe turtle. A muscle sample was collected to be submitted for genetic analysis.

Both of the above turtles were photographed, documented, measured, and the carcasses were buried on the beach. Data on the turtles were submitted to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Florida Marine Research Institute, as per our sea turtle permit requirements.

CONCLUSIONS

This report has presented the results of marine turtle monitoring for Venice beaches in Sarasota County Florida. The monitoring activity covered the beach from the Venice Jetties south to the southernmost dune crossover at Casperson Beach. This area corresponds to the shoreline between DNR Monument R-115 south to R-138. A total of275 nests and 312 non-nesting emergences (or false crawls) of the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) were documented between May 1 st and October 3P\2000. No green turtle (Chelonia mydas) nests were documented on the Venice shoreline for the 2000 season (although one nest was documented on Casey Key, adjacent and to the north of Venice; and 11 were documented on Manasota Key, adjacent and to the south of Venice).

The average incubation for all nests, relocated and in situ was 49 days. The range for in situ nests was 43 to 63 days, and for relocated nests 46 to 54 days. The overall hatch success rate 77% (84/3% for relocated nests and 76.3% for in situ). The overall emergence success of those which hatched was 95.2% (93.9% for relocated and 95.4% for in situ).

A preference for the sloped lower beach for nesting was documented with 54% of all nests occurring on the lower (seaward third) of the beach on both the restored and the natural beaches. The turtles nesting preference for the mid beach area was documented at 31 % of all nests and 15% for the upper third of the beach regardless of beach width. Because of the preference the turtles exhibit for the sloped lower beach for nesting, possible increased nest loss should be a consideration for coastal managers, marine turtle monitoring personnel, and for coastal engineers who design beach profiles.

Thirty two percent of the nests along the Venice shoreline experienced either partial or complete destruction by either predation or inundation. Of the nests that were damaged by storm or tidal

Hi Jerris, I could not reach you in your office this a.m. nor could I get a connection to your cell phone # .

Excavation info for V2 6125

4 Live (released successfully) 1 Dead 90 Hatched 17 Unhatched

Flamingo nest excavated 8121 p.m.

I also took a quick walk on the beach but had to leave early around 9:15pm due to rain with lots of lightening !

Alhambra all had units with drapes open with lots of light on all floors. Alhambra(last bldg) south parking lot has many lights visible from the beach which are attached to the roof of

the car port over the parking area. Also, pool lights are still visible there.

Hunter single family had lights on without drapes or blinds closed facing beach .

Cornwall South(Pizza Hut) had large room facing beach with drapes open with light on.

Park Blvd. Aldea Mar North unit had units facing beach with lights on with drapes open.

Park Blvd. Aldea Mar South unit bottom floor south unit with drapes open & lights on from front & side.

Venice Public Beach: is lighted by a combination oflights including cobra streetlights lining both the north and south sides of Venice Ave. It would be beneficial if the streetlights could be changed out to cobra "cut-off' fixtures over time. The Inn at the Beach has canister lights over entryways but the cumulative effect is to light up the building. It would be beneficial if the lights were replaced with lower wattage amber lights that would cause less reflection. The single story apartment/condominium on the north side of Venice Ave has carriage type lights along the south p~operty line and at the west facing building. The wattage needs to be reduced and the lights need to be shielded on the west and south sides.

The lights from the parking lot at Granada (Golden Strand) are open
