Book excerpt: Periodic maintenance dredging of coastal navigation channels is required to maintain the depth necessary for the passage of large commercial and military ship traffic. Sea turtles and other threatened and endangered species may become entrained in the hopper dredge intake pipes, causing the turtles to be crushed or drowned. To prevent this entrainment, a new draghead design was developed to deflect sea turtles from the path of the draghead. Preliminary tests indicated that this design was effective in reducing entrainment of inanimate objects in the path of the draghead without compromising production (Banks and Alexander 1994). The following study was conducted to test the effectiveness of the rigid deflector draghead under field conditions in an area of probable moderate-to-high sea turtle abundance.

Book excerpt: The USACE Sea Turtle Research Program (STRP) was conducted to minimize the risk to sea turtle populations in channels along the southeast Atlantic region of the United States from hopper-dredging activities. Relative abundance studies determined indices of sea turtle abundance at six harbor entrance channels maintained by hopper dredges; (a) Canaveral, FL, (b) Fernandina/Kings Bay, FL, (c) Brunswick, GA, (d) Savannah, GA, (e) Charleston, SC, and (f) Morehead City, NC. Behavioral studies monitored movement of sea turtles over time and distance with telemetry techniques. Acoustic-detection studies evaluated acoustic techniques for faster sea turtle surveys. Bioacoustic studies determined acoustic thresholds and auditory behavior of sea turtles and manatees. Acoustic-dispersal studies evaluated a technique for dispersing sea turtles. Dredging equipment studies developed a rigid deflector for the California-style hopper dredge draghead. Prototype field tests demonstrated that the deflector was effective in deflecting model (mock) sea turtles with no adverse impact on dredge production. Effectiveness in reducing entrainment of live sea turtles was confirmed during actual production dredging operations in Canaveral entrance channel.

Dickerson and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This workshop, sponsored by the US Army Corps of Engineers, focused on national concerns about dredging effects on sea turtles with specific reference to dredging operations in Cape Canaveral and King's Bay ship channels. The primary objective was to identify methods that would prevent further sea turtle mortalities by dredges. The workshop addressed both biological and engineering aspects of the subject through formal presentations, group discussions, and subgroup sessions. The workshop conclusions proposed several methods of immediate and long-term actions as well as identified areas of needed information. Topics reported include: An overview of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as Amended, and Its Application to Endangered Species/Dredging Conflicts in Port Canaveral, Florida; The sea turtles of the King's Bay area the endangered species observer program associated with construction dredging of the St. Marys Entrance Ship Channel; Canaveral Harbor entrance channel operational measures to protect sea turtles; Radio Tagging of Sea Turtles.
