Abstract:
This is a request for revision and extension of collection 0648-0496 entitled “Reporting of Sea Turtle Entanglement in Fishing Gear or Marine Debris”. We request to revise the name of the collection to “National Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network Stranding and Gear Interaction Data Collection” and add additional forms to be inclusive of all forms used by Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network (STSSN). NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) share federal jurisdiction for the conservation and recovery of sea turtles. NMFS Office of Protected Resources serves as the lead for and coordinator of the STSSN. The STSSN currently responds to and documents stranded sea turtles found in coastal areas under U.S. jurisdiction along the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. The Sea Turtle Disentanglement Network (STDN) is a part of the STSSN. The STSSN is a cooperative effort of authorized federal, state, and private partners working to inform causes of morbidity and mortality in sea turtles. Information is collected in a manner sufficient to inform sea turtle conservation management and recovery. To facilitate this data collection, the STSSN uses several standardized data collection forms. To ensure all data collected by the STSSN are in the same collection, we propose adding the following forms to 0648-0496: STSSN Stranding Report form, Gross Necropsy forms, Cold Stun individual and batch forms, Fishing Gear Identification forms, and Incidental Capture Intake form (currently approved in collection 0648-0774).
