EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report summarizes sea turtle monitoring by Mote Marine Laboratory’s Sea Turtle
Conservation and Research Program for the Longboat Key shoreline in 2009, three years after
construction activities for the Longboat Key Nourishment Project (FDEP Permit No. 0202209001-JC). Monitoring data are presented for both sections of layered fill and white fill as well as
the non-nourished area to evaluate potential impacts from the Project. Longboat Key shoreline
contains 19.4 km (12.1 mi) of sea turtle nesting habitat with 10 km (6.2 mi) in Manatee County
and 9.4 km (5.8 mi) in Sarasota County.
Loggerhead turtles accounted for 100% of sea turtle activity on Longboat Key in 2009.
Loggerhead nesting occurred between May 4 and August 13. Nesting activity peaked during the
last week of June. Beach monitoring efforts documented 216 loggerhead nests, 208 loggerhead
NNEs. There were 203 in situ and 13 relocated nests.
Manatee County hosted 104 loggerhead nests and 97 loggerhead NNEs. Sarasota County hosted
112 loggerhead nests and 111 NNEs. Within the layered fill sections, there were 83 loggerhead
nests and 72 loggerhead NNEs. In the white fill sections, there were 129 loggerhead nests and
131 loggerhead NNEs. In the non-nourished section, there were four loggerhead nests and five
loggerhead NNEs.
Nesting density was 11.1 nests/km (17.9 nests/mi) for the entire island, with 10.4 nests/km (16.8
nests/mi) for Manatee County and 11.9 nests/km (19.1 nests/mi) for Sarasota County.
Nesting success on Longboat Key was 51.0% with 51.7% in Manatee County and 50.2% in
Sarasota County. Nesting success was 53.5% in layered fill sections, 49.6% in white fill
sections, and 44.4% in the non-nourished section. Regions with lower nesting success in
Manatee County were FDEP monuments R-43 to R-44 (2 nests: 7 NNE), R-60 (6 nests: 12
NNEs), and R-63 (1 nest: 5 NNEs). Regions of lower nesting success in Sarasota County were
FDEP monuments R-4 to R-6 (5 nests: 13 NNEs), and R-19 to R-21 (9 nests: 22 NNEs). Regions
with highest nesting success in Manatee County were FDEP monuments R-49 to R-50 (12 nests:
3 NNEs) and R-55 to R-57 (14 nests: 8 NNEs). Regions with highest nesting success in Sarasota
County were T-22 (15 nests: 4 NNEs), R-10 (9 nests: 1 NNE), and R-7 to R-8 (11 nests: 5
NNEs).
Turtles accessing the Longboat Key shoreline encountered obstacles on 149 emergences,
representing 35.1% of all activities. Of these emergences, 51.0% (76/149) resulted in NNEs.
Turtles were obstructed by escarpments (127), beach furniture (15), seawalls (9), vegetation (2),
rocks (1), a geotube (1), a beach walkover (1), and beach debris (1).
Of the nests on Longboat Key, 26.8% (56/209) were in the upper third of the beach, 33.5%
(70/209) were in the middle third, and 39.7% (83/209) were in the lower third. For nests in
layered fill, 16.3% (13/80) were in the upper third of the beach, 20.0% (16/80) were in the
middle third, and 63.8% (51/80) were in the lower third. In the white fill, 32.5% (41/126) were
in the upper third of the beach, 42.1% (53/126) were in the middle third, and 25.4% (32/126)
1
were in the lower third. For nests in the non-nourished section, 66.7% (2/3) were in the upper
third of the beach, 33.3% (1/3) were in the middle third, and 0% (0/3) 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 37.0% (80/216) of nests on
Longboat Key, twelve of which washed out.
Predators affected 4.2% (9/216) of nests on Longboat Key. The depredation incidents involved
raccoons (5), roots (2), unknown predators (2), fire ants (1), ghost crabs (1), and a nesting female
turtle breaking her own eggs (1). Zero incidents of nest vandalism and zero poaching events
occurred in 2009.
The average incubation period for both in situ and relocated loggerhead nests on Longboat Key
(n = 168) was 52.6 days with a range of 37 - 72 days. The first loggerhead nest hatched on June
30 and the last nest hatched on October 3. Loggerhead nests had an average incubation period of
51.3 days for layered fill sections, 53.7 days for white fill sections. No hatches were observed
for nests in non-nourished sections and therefore incubation periods could not be determined.
The hatch success for both in situ and relocated nests (n = 143 nests and 13,742 eggs) was 70.1%
with 28.3% unhatched eggs and 1.6% pipped eggs. Loggerhead nests had a hatch success of
75.8% in layered fill sections (n = 48), 68.9% in white fill sections (n = 91), and 29.7% in the
non-nourished section (n = 4). Hatch success was 48.1% for inundated nests (n = 51) and 81.8%
for non-inundated nests (n = 92).
The emergence success for all loggerhead nests (n = 143) was 67.7%. The emergence success
for loggerhead nests was 74.5% in layered fill (n = 48), 66.0% in white fill (n = 91), and 26.9%
in non-nourished sand (n = 4). Inundated nests (n = 51) had 43.6% emergence success while
non-inundated nests (n = 92) had 80.6% emergence success. Excavations of loggerhead nests for
which complete excavation data were documented (in situ: n = 140; relocated: n = 3) revealed
that 9,308 hatchlings emerged independently prior to nest excavation. A total of 13,161 live
hatchlings emerged independently from Longboat nests.
One adult turtle and 69 hatchling disorientation events were documented, resulting in a minimum
of 2,753 disoriented hatchlings. Using only viable nests (i.e., those from which hatchlings
emerged) a disorientation rate of 39.0% was observed. The disorientation rate of all nests, both
viable and nonviable (i.e., zero emergence success), was 31.9%. Disorientations were related to
interior or exterior lighting from hotels or condominiums (54), single family residences (29), sky
glow (18), parking lots (16), street lights (23), dune crossovers (7), pool lights (4),
restaurant/bars (3), constructions lights from Lido Key (3), construction lights from work on a
home (1), unknown causes (1), and car headlights (1).

INTRODUCTION
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 II 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 I of the Convention on
International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), 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 I) 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 370.12 (Florida Administration Code), and the Sarasota
County Sea Turtle Protection Ordinance (No 97-082). The loggerhead was listed in 1978 as a
threatened species (43 Federal Register 32800). Internationally it is considered “Vulnerable”
and is listed as a species threatened with extinction in Appendix I of the Convention on
International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). A recent 5-year
re-evaluation of the loggerhead status remains classed as Threatened (NMFS/ USFWS 2007).
In addition to loggerhead turtles, other sea turtle species have been documented nesting in small
numbers on the central Gulf beaches. In 2009, there were eleven green turtle (Chelonia mydas)
nests in Sarasota County, following seven nests laid in 2008. There have been a total of 101
green turtle nests in Sarasota County since 1994. 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 1999. In 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 Island (Lee County) in 2009. 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 I of CITES.
Land-based threats to these protected sea turtles include beach erosion, beach armoring, beach
nourishment activities, artificial lighting, beach cleaning, increased human presence, recreational
3
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.
The Town of Longboat Key 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 Longboat Key beaches. This 2009
report summarizes STCRP’s sea turtle monitoring, evaluation and protection efforts for the
Longboat Key Beach Nourishment Project 2005-2006 for the third year following construction
activities.
BACKGROUND
The Longboat Key shoreline is used as nesting habitat by sea turtles that are protected by the
ESA of 1973, the Marine Turtle Protection Act Chapter 370.12 (Florida Administrative Code),
the Town of Longboat Key Ordinance (No. 87-16), and the Sarasota County Sea Turtle
Protection Ordinance (No. 97-082). 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 (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.
The 2005-2006 Longboat Key Beach Nourishment Project (Permit No. 0202209-001-JC),
hereafter referred to as the ‘Project’, placed 1.4 million cubic meters of sand, on 14.5 kilometers
of shoreline, extending approximately from Florida Department of Environmental Protection
(FDEP) monument R-44.5 in Manatee County to R-29.5 in Sarasota County. The Project started
in May 2005 and was completed in July 2006. The main objective of the Project was to restore
the eroded coastline and to protect beach property.
Sections of Longboat Key were nourished with both coarse and white sand while other sections
were filled with only white sand. The regions with two layers of sand will be referred to as
“layered fill” while the white sand areas will be referred to as “white fill” (Figure 1a).
The special permit conditions for the Project included 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:
4

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. For 2005 and 2006, all nests laid inside the Project area were relocated.
Nest relocation was 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 Permits #054,
#027 and #155, current and valid permits issued by FWC, Imperiled 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 areas 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 (2005-2006) and for a minimum of three
additional nesting seasons (2007-2009).
This Project was the fifth nourishment project to occur on Longboat Key that was subsequently
monitored for turtle activity by MML (Table 1). Prior to beach monitoring, Longboat Key was
nourished two times from 1977-1991 (Bush et al. 2001). Prior to the current Project, the most
recent was in 2003 when nourishment sand dredged from the New Pass Inlet Channel was placed
between FDEP monuments R-20 and R-27 in Sarasota County. Summaries of previous
nourishment projects are archived online at Florida State University’s Beaches and Shores
Resource Center (Florida State University 2007).
This report summarizes the data collected in 2009, the third year after the construction activity,
to fulfill monitoring requirements for Longboat Key Nourishment Project (FDEP Permit No.
0202209-001-JC). This report is submitted to the Town of Longboat Key, Coastal Planning and
Engineering, Inc, the FWC Imperiled Species Management Division, FDEP, the USFWS, and
archived in the offices of the MML STCRP.
SEA TURTLE MONITORING
Project Location
Longboat Key is located in Sarasota and Manatee Counties on the central Gulf coast of Florida.
The surveyed shoreline contains 19.4 km (12.1 mi) of sea turtle nesting habitat with 10 km (6.2
mi) in Manatee County and 9.4 km (5.8 mi) in Sarasota County. Longboat Key is bounded to the
north by Longboat Pass and to the south by New Pass. The sandy beach extends from 400 ft
northeast of FDEP monument R-42, south through the Manatee-Sarasota County boundary (350
5
ft north of R-67; 200 ft north of T1), to 500 ft south of R-29, then extends 1700 ft east along the
northern New Pass shoreline of Lighthouse Point.
The shoreline has been restored during previous dredging of Longboat and New Pass, including
the two nourishments between the years of 1977-1991 (Bush et al 2001), 1993 Beach Restoration
Project, the 1997 Mid-Key Restoration, the 2001 Mid-Key Interim Restoration, and the 2003
New Pass Inlet Channel dredging (Figure 1b).
The Longboat Key shoreline is characterized by high density residential development of both
single and multifamily structures (Moreton and Peterson 2003). State Road 789 (Gulf of Mexico
Drive) runs parallel to the beach between 4021 Gulf of Mexico Drive and 3715 Gulf of Mexico
Drive (approximately R-2 to 600 ft south of R-4).
Procedures
Daily monitoring of Longboat Key shoreline began on May 1 and continued until the final nest
excavation on October 9 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 Permits #054 and #027 issued to Ms. Paula Clark.
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.
Nesting success = (# nests) / (# nests + # NNEs)
In previous years, nests laid close to the water line were immediately relocated. However, in
order to document the effects of beach nourishment on nest site selection, FWC Guidelines
(2007) state that eggs were not to be relocated until they were uncovered by high tides and
documented washing out. If 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.
6
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. In 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. In 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:
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 Longboat Key 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).
NESTING SUCCESS
Turtle Emergences (Nests and Non-Nesting Emergences)
Loggerhead turtles accounted for 100% of sea turtle activity on Longboat Key in 2009.
Loggerhead nesting occurred between May 4 and August 13 (Figure 4). Nesting activity peaked
during the last week of June.
Beach monitoring efforts documented 216 loggerhead nests and 208 loggerhead NNEs
(Appendix A). This is a decrease from the number of nests (n = 252) and an increase from the
number of NNEs (n = 185) documented in 2008. There were 203 in situ and 13 relocated nests.
Nest relocations were conducted due to the proximity to the mean high water line or because
they were witnessed washing out. All nest locations were documented using a handheld GPS
and are mapped on Figure 5a (Manatee County) and Figure 5b (Sarasota County).
Manatee County hosted 104 loggerhead nests and 97 loggerhead NNEs. Sarasota County hosted
112 loggerhead nests and 111 loggerhead NNEs. Within the layered fill sections, there were 83
loggerhead nests and 72 loggerhead NNEs. In the white fill sections, there were 129 loggerhead
nests and 131 loggerhead NNEs. In the non-nourished section, there were four loggerhead nests
and five loggerhead NNEs.

Historically, nesting densities of sea turtles on Longboat Key range from 7.1 to 19.0 nests/km for
all of Longboat Key with 4.8 to 19.2 nests/km for Manatee County and 8.5 to 18.8 nests/km for
Sarasota County. Nesting density was 11.1 nests/km (17.9 nests/mi) for the entire island (Table
1), with 10.4 nests/km (16.8 nests/mi) for Manatee County and 11.9 nests/km (19.1 nests/mi) for
Sarasota County.
Nesting success on Longboat Key was 51.0% with 51.7% in Manatee County and 50.2% in
Sarasota County. Nesting activity was observed from May 15 to August 13 in Manatee County
and between May 4 and August 2 in Sarasota County (Figure 5a and 5b). Nesting success in the
layered fill sections was 53.5% in 2009, compared to 55.5% in 2008, 44.9% in 2007, 43.5% in
2006, and 47.2% in 2005. Nesting success in the white fill sections was 49.6% in 2009,
compared to 60.2% in 2008, 41.1% in 2007, 54.6% in 2006, and 60.0% in 2005. Nesting success
in the non-nourished section was 44.4% in 2009, compared to 50.0% in 2008, 38.5% in 2007,
75.0% in 2006 and 45.1% in 2005. In the layered fill sections, nesting activity was observed
from May 14 to August 13. In the white fill sections, nesting activity was observed between
May 4 and August 1. In the non-nourished section, nesting activity was observed between June
21 and July 16 (Figure 5a and 5b).
The 2009 nesting data for the Longboat Key shoreline indicate a 14.6% decrease in loggerhead
nest numbers from the 2008 season (Figure 6). Since 1999, Longboat 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 Longboat 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 Longboat 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).
According to the FWC, a nest with no subsequent evidence of hatching is termed a mystery nest.
Five of the 216 nests (2.3%) 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. Non-nesting emergences (NNEs) can be
categorized by the stage at which the turtle abandoned or terminated nesting (Table 2).
In 2009, the 207 NNEs on Longboat Key were categorized as: 1) 143 emergences with no
digging; 2) 50 emergences with one or more body pits but no nest chamber; and 3) 14
emergences with a minimum of one abandoned nest chamber. The 72 NNEs documented in the
layered fill sections were categorized as: 1) 39 emergences with no digging; 2) 28 emergences
9
with one or more body pits but no nest chamber; and 3) five emergences with a minimum of one
abandoned nest chamber. The 130 NNEs within the white fill sections were categorized as: 1)
99 emergences with no digging; 2) 22 emergences with one or more body pits but no nest
chamber; and 3) nine emergences with a minimum of one abandoned nest chamber. The five
NNEs within the non-nourished section were categorized as: 1) five emergences with no digging;
2) zero emergences with one body pit but no nest chamber; and 3) zero emergences with a
minimum of one abandoned nest chamber. The 2009 data are consistent with 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 to
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 13 occurred nine days after the first nest was laid. In 2009, 49.0% of
turtle emergences were classified as NNEs.
The distribution of NNE events along the length of Longboat Key identified specific problem
areas (Figure 7). In relation to the FDEP monuments, the relative number of nests and NNEs
along Longboat Key highlight specific zones for elevated NNEs. Troublesome areas with many
NNEs should be reviewed to flag the problem sources (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 in Manatee County were FDEP monuments R-43 to R-44 (2
nests: 7 NNE), R-60 (6 nests: 12 NNEs), and R-63 (1 nest: 5 NNEs). Regions of lower nesting
success in Sarasota County were FDEP monuments R-4 to R-6 (5 nests: 13 NNEs), and R-19 to
R-21 (9 nests: 22 NNEs).
Regions with highest nesting success in Manatee County were FDEP monuments R-49 to R-50
(12 nests: 3 NNEs) and R-55 to R-57 (14 nests: 8 NNEs). Regions with highest nesting success
in Sarasota County were T-22 (15 nests: 4 NNEs), R-10 (9 nests: 1 NNE), and R-7 to R-8 (11
nests: 5 NNEs).
Visual Assessment of Obstructions to Nesting
Turtles accessing the Longboat Key shoreline encountered obstacles on 149 emergences,
representing 35.1% of all activities (Figure 8). Of these emergences, 51.0% (76/149) resulted in
NNEs. Turtles were obstructed by escarpments (127), beach furniture (15), seawalls (9),
vegetation (2), rocks (1), a geotube (1), a beach walkover (1), and beach debris (1). Some turtles
encountered multiple obstacles.
10
In the layered fill sections, 50.5% (46/91) of turtles that encountered obstacles (five turtles
encountered multiple obstacles) did not nest; obstacles included escarpments (88), seawalls (5) a
beach walkover (1), rocks (1), and a geotube (1). In the white fill sections, 49.1% (27/55) of
turtles that encountered obstacles (three turtles encountered multiple obstacles) did not nest;
obstacles included escarpments (39), beach furniture (15), and seawalls (4). In the nonnourished section, 100% (3/3) of turtles that encountered obstacles did not nest; obstacles
included vegetation (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 were a maximum of five
feet during the 2009 nesting season, compared to five feet in 2008, 2.5 feet in 2007, and four feet
in 2006. In 2009, turtles encountered escarpments on 30.0% of all emergences (127/424),
compared to 25.2% of all emergences (111/439) in 2008, 13.2% of all emergences (45/341) in
2007, 9.1% of emergences (29/318) in 2006, and 1.2% (4/344) of emergences in 2005. Of all
escarpment encounters, 49.6% (63/127) resulted in NNEs.
In 2009, 3.5% of all sea turtle emergences (15/424) encountered beach furniture, compared to ,
3.6% of all sea turtle emergences (16/438) in 2008, 3.2% of emergences (11/341) in 2007, 1.5%
of emergences (5/318) in 2006, and 6.1% (21/344) of emergences in 2005. Of these emergences
encountering beach furniture, 53.3% (8/15) resulted in NNEs (Appendix E). Condominium and
hotel locations were associated with 86.6% (13/15) of beach furniture encounters. Instances
were recorded at the following properties: Beachplace - 1055 Gulf of Mexico Drive (1),
Castillian - 4545 Gulf of Mexico Drive (1), Club Longboat - 5055 Gulf of Mexico Drive (2), The
Colony - 1620 Gulf of Mexico Drive (1), Gulf Front - 5201 Gulf of Mexico Drive (1), the Hilton
- 4711 Gulf of Mexico Drive (1), Inn on the Beach - 220 Sands Point Drive (1), LK Towers 603-601 Longboat Club Road (1), Regents Place - 675-655 Longboat Club Road (1), Sand Cay 4725 Gulf of Mexico Drive (1), Sandpipers - 5635 Gulf of Mexico Drive (1), and Sea Twig 5645 Gulf of Mexico Drive (1). Turtles encountered beach furniture at single family homes at
3037 Gulf of Mexico Drive and 865 Longboat Club Road.
While it is impossible to prevent obstructions from permanent structures such as rock
revetments, seawalls, and outfall basins, action can be taken to reduce the number of abandoned
nesting attempts due to temporary structures. For example, in Sarasota County, a 2005
amendment to Sarasota County’s Sea Turtle Protection Ordinance 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 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 = 7) were
omitted from the analysis.
11
Of the nests on Longboat Key, 26.8% (56/209) were in the upper third of the beach, 33.5%
(70/209) were in the middle third, and 39.7% (83/209) were in the lower third. For nests in
layered fill, 16.3% (13/80) were in the upper third of the beach, 20.0% (16/80) were in the
middle third, and 63.8% (51/80) were in the lower third. In the white fill, 32.5% (41/126) were
in the upper third of the beach, 42.1% (53/126) were in the middle third, and 25.4% (32/126)
were in the lower third. For nests in the non-nourished section, 66.7% (2/3) were in the upper
third of the beach, 33.3% (1/3) were in the middle third, and 0% (0/3) were in the lower third.
These data are 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,
Longboat Key data show this expected pattern. In the Project area (both layered and white fill
sections), 26.2% (54/206) of nests were in the upper third of the beach compared to 40.3%
(83/206) in the lower third.
Nest Chamber Characteristics
Nest chamber measurements were tabulated for nests inside and outside the Project shoreline on
Longboat Key (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 layered fill sections averaged 41.0 cm in
depth (range 24-69 cm), 21.3 cm in width (range 10-30 cm), and 26.0 cm from the sand surface
to the top of the clutch (range 5-46 cm). Nests in the white fill sections averaged 41.7 cm in
depth (range 7-69 cm), 22.0 cm in width (range 13-36 cm), and 25.6 cm from the sand surface to
the top of the clutch (range 0-52 cm). Nests in the non-nourished section averaged 37.0 cm in
depth (range 35-38), 21.5 cm in width (range 18-26 cm), and 26.0 cm from the sand surface to
the top of the clutch (range 18-30 cm).
Nests Lost to Erosion or Inundation
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 37.0% (80/216) of nests on
Longboat Key, twelve of which washed out (Table 4). Forty-four nests were affected by more
than one storm event. Inundations during 2009 impacted Longboat Key to a lesser extent than in
2008 when 48.2% (122/253) of nests were inundated by storms. Of the nests affected by tidal
activity, 97.1% (66/68) of inundated nests and 100% (12/12) of washed out nests were located
inside the Project area.
Nest Damage by Depredation or Invasion
Predators affected 4.2% (9/216) of nests (Figure 9). The depredation incidents involved
raccoons (5), roots (2), unknown predators (2), fire ants (1), ghost crabs (1), and a nesting female
12
turtle breaking her own eggs (1) (Tables 5a and 5b). Some nests were affected by multiple
depredation events. The percentage of depredated nests decreased from 13.8% (35/253) in 2008.
A 2-ft3 self-releasing cage or 4-ft2 self-releasing screen of 2” x 4” wire mesh was placed over
five 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. In 2009, three nests were affected by fire ants; one of
those was excavated early to prevent fire ants from colonizing the nest.
Zero incidents of nest vandalism occurred in 2009. Incidents of human disturbance on Longboat
Key beaches fell in 2009 compared to 2008 when six nests were vandalized.
No nests were poached in 2009.
REPRODUCTIVE SUCCESS
Incubation period
Calculations of mean incubation period only included nests for which both the date laid and date
hatched were known (n = 168; 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 of both in situ and relocated loggerhead nests on Longboat Key (n
= 168) was 52.6 days with a range of 37 - 72 days. The average incubation period for in situ
loggerhead nests (n = 157) was 52.8 days with a range of 37 - 72 days. The average incubation
period of relocated loggerhead nests (n = 11) was 50.6 days with a range of 48 – 58 days. The
first loggerhead nest hatched on June 30 and the last nest hatched on October 3.
In the layered fill section, the average incubation period for in situ loggerhead nests (n = 59) was
51.3 days with a range of 45 - 60 days and 50.9 days with a range of 48 - 58 days for relocated
nests (n = 10). In situ loggerhead nests in the white fill sections (n = 98) had an average
incubation period of 53.7 days with a range of 37 - 72 days. The single relocated nest in the
white fill sections incubated 48 days. No hatches were observed for nests in non-nourished
sections and therefore incubation periods could not be determined. When hatches are not
observed, nests are inventoried at 70 days from the date laid and are therefore included in
calculations of hatch success and emergence success.
Hatch Success
Hatch success was calculated for 140 in situ loggerhead nests and three relocated loggerhead
nests 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
13
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 = 143 nests and 13,742 eggs)
was 70.1% with 28.3% unhatched eggs and 1.6% pipped eggs. The hatch success for in situ
loggerhead nests (n = 140) was 70.2% with 28.2% unhatched eggs and 1.6% pipped eggs. The
relocated loggerhead nests (n = 3) had a hatch success of 64.8% with 31.7% unhatched eggs and
3.5% pipped eggs. The hatch success for in situ loggerhead nests is higher than in 2008 (67.8%,
n = 100). The hatch success for relocated nests is lower than in 2008 (85.4%, n = 2), but the
small sample size precludes a rigorous comparison across years.
Loggerhead nests had a hatch success of 75.8% in layered fill sections (n = 48), 68.9% in white
fill sections (n = 91), and 29.7% in the non-nourished section (n = 4). Hatch success was 48.1%
for inundated loggerhead nests (n = 51) and 81.8% for non-inundated nests (n = 92).
Emergence Success
Emergence success was calculated for nests for which complete excavation data were
documented. The emergence success for all loggerhead nests (n = 143) was 67.7%. The
emergence success of in situ loggerhead nests (n = 140) was 67.9%. The three relocated nests
had an emergence success of 26.9%. The emergence success for in situ loggerhead nests is
higher than in 2008 (64.4%, n = 99). The emergence success for the relocated nests is lower than
in 2008 (83.3%, n = 2), but the small sample size precludes a rigorous comparison across years.
The emergence success for loggerhead nests was 74.5% in layered fill (n = 48), 66.0% in white
fill (n = 91), and 26.9% in non-nourished sand (n = 4). Inundated nests (n = 51) had 43.6%
emergence success while non-inundated nests (n = 92) had 80.6% emergence success.
Excavations of loggerhead nests for which complete excavation data were documented (in situ:
n = 140; relocated: n = 3) revealed that 9,308 hatchlings emerged independently prior to nest
excavation.
In addition, at excavation, a total of 79 live hatchlings were found remaining in nests for which
complete excavation data were documented (Table 8). Nests with incomplete excavation data
(n = 60; i.e., nests that were excavated early, depredated or partial washouts) produced an
additional 3,853 live loggerhead hatchlings that emerged independently. A total of 13,161
(9,308 + 3,853) live hatchlings emerged independently from Longboat nests.
Hatchling Disorientation Events
One adult turtle and 69 hatchling disorientation events were documented, resulting in a minimum
of 2,753 disoriented hatchlings (Table 9, Appendix B).
Using only viable nests (i.e., those from which hatchlings emerged) a disorientation rate of
39.0% was observed compared to 31.3% in 2008 37.0% in 2007, 36.4% in 2006, and 19.6% in
2005 (Figure 10).
14
The disorientation rate of all nests, both viable and nonviable (i.e., zero emergence), was 31.9%
compared to 18.5% in 2008, 27.6% in 2007, 31.3% in 2006, and 6% in 2005 (Figure 10).
Although the percentages vary among years, disorientations reached a high in 2009 but have
remained steadily around 30% since 2006 (Figure 10). When compared to other Sarasota
beaches, Longboat Key disorientations have been consistently high (Appendix C).
Disorientations were related to interior or exterior lighting from hotels or condominiums (54),
single family residences (29), sky glow (18), parking lots (16), street lights (23), dune crossovers
(7), pool lights (4), restaurant/bars (3), constructions lights from Lido Key (3), construction
lights from work on a home (1), unknown causes (1), and car headlights (1). In some events,
there was more than one cause for disorientation (Table 9, Figure 11). Condominiums or hotels
were the most frequent causes of disorientations, accounting for 77.1% of all reports. In each
documented case, STCRP or Longboat Key Turtle Watch (LBKTW) personnel communicated
with the Longboat Key Code Enforcement Officer about artificial illumination of the beach and
hatchling or adult turtle disorientation events due to non-compliant lighting.
Evidence documented by FWC from past Florida beach nourishment projects has demonstrated
that nourished beaches are taller and wider, thus allowing more light to be visible for a greater
distance along the beach axis. The steep rise in disorientation events observed in 2006, 2007 and
2008 continuing in 2009 is consistent with this pattern.
Locations between FDEP monuments R-7 and R-26 (3315 Gulf of Mexico Drive south to 455
Longboat Club Road) were responsible for 64.7% (44/69) of hatchling disorientations. This area
is characterized by high density condominiums and single family homes.
Lighting workshops co-hosted by STCRP, Manatee and Sarasota County, Anna Maria Island
Turtle Watch, the Town of Longboat Key, Florida Power and Light (FPL), FWC, and USFWS
were held in 2007, 2008, and 2009 to help decrease the occurrence of disorientations.
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 sea
turtle exterior lighting exam. To reduce the potential impacts from the current nourishment
project in future years, property owners must put into effect what they learned at the lighting
seminar and the Sarasota Beach Lighting Ordinance must be strictly enforced. Lighting
workshops co-hosted by STCRP are planned for 2010 and hopefully will encourage improved
compliance with the Sarasota Beach Lighting Ordinance.
Each FDEP permit for a specific nourishment project stipulates that nighttime lighting
inspections must address outstanding lighting issues before May 1. Ongoing lighting checks
should reoccur in July at the advent of hatching season and continue until the last nest hatches.
Put simply, frequent nighttime lighting inspections must begin early in the sea turtle nesting
season and continue until the last nest has hatched. Disorientations are easily preventable by
adhering to the rules of “Keep it low, keep it long, keep it shielded.” Improved lighting
15
compliance is needed to stem the concern about hatchling disorientations on Longboat Key,
which were the worst in Sarasota County in 2009.
