SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

September 24, 2012, notice was 

published in the Federal Register (77 

FR 58812) that a request for a scientific 

research permit to take loggerhead, 

green, Kemp’s ridley, hawksbill, 

leatherback, and olive ridley sea turtles 

had been submitted by the above-named 

organization. The requested permit has 

been issued under the authority of the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) 

and the regulations governing the 

taking, importing, and exporting of 

endangered and threatened species (50 

CFR parts 222–226). 

The permit authorizes aerial, vessel, 

and acoustic surveys on sea turtles in 

the North Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of 

Mexico, Caribbean Sea and their 

embayments. Sea turtles may be directly 

captured by hand or using nets or 

alternatively, sea turtle may be obtained 

from other legal sources. Authorized 

procedures for captured sea turtles 

include: measurements, laboratory 

experiments, biological sampling, 

temporary marking, tracking, 

ultrasound, and/or attachment of 

transmitters before release back to the 

wild. Up to six sea turtles may 

accidentally die over the five-year life of 

the permit. 

Issuance of this permit, as required by 

the ESA, was based on a finding that 

such permit (1) was applied for in good 

faith, (2) will not operate to the 

disadvantage of such endangered or 

threatened species, and (3) is consistent 

with the purposes and policies set forth 

in section 2 of the ESA.
