  • Sea Turtle Conservancy Newsletter
    Sea Turtle Conservancy Newsletter Science-Based Sea Turtle Conservation Since 1959 Welcome Issue Introduction to Sea Turtle Conservancy Sea Turtle Conservancy (STC) is a global leader in the study and protection of sea turtles. Its mission is “to ensure the survival of sea turtles through research, education, advocacy and protection of the habitats upon which they depend.” Founded in 1959 by renowned sea turtle biologist Dr. Archie Carr, STC is the oldest group in the world dedicated to sea turtle research and conservation. Headquartered in Florida, with field stations in a variety of strategic locations, STC is a non-profit 501(c) 3 organization. Over the last half century, STC has spawned a global movement to protect sea turtles and developed successful models for studying and protecting sea turtles that now are in use around the world. Through its long-term research programs in places such as Tortuguero, Costa Rica, STC has discovered much of what is known Moncrieffr Mel by Photo about the biology and life history of sea turtles. Most importantly, through its many successful programs, STC has proven that conservation programs do work; sea turtles can be saved. The organization’s sustained research and conservation programs have been credited with saving the Atlantic green turtle from near extinction and improving the survival outlook for many other turtle populations. Why Sea Turtle Survival Matters: Sea turtles are important indicators of the health of the world’s marine and coastal ecosystems. Each sea turtle species plays a unique and critical role in sustaining the health of different marine and coastal habitats.

David Godfrey: Dr. Carr and this organization thought that one of the ways that we could reestablish sea turtles on places where they used to nest but don’t currently nest because we’ve eaten glassthem all or harvested blowing them all for different reasons was to take turtles from one population and move them to another beach, let the eggs incubate on a different beach, and then when those turtles grew up and wanted to come back and nest, they would nest at that new beach. We actually had a program called Operation Green Turtle which was going on in the late 50s and early 60s. It was in partnership with the Navy, the US Navy. They would fly this old Grumman water plane down and land it in Tortuguero River in front of our station. They’d fill it up with this buckets of some eggs and some hatchlings and they would fly them and attempt to reseed turtle colonies all over the Caribbean and Atlantic. It was ultimately not a successful was to go about it, but a great deal was learned about sea turtles during this and maybe most importantly, and this is something that Dr. Carr wrote about in some of his books, it was the first sort of public relations initiative that raised awareness in all of those islands where they went about the fact that sea turtles were in trouble, and that there were people that cared.

AN FSU HISTORIAN TELLS HOW THIS CAME TO BE, AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR SAVING WHAt’s lEFT OF THE ANIMAL PLANET. SUMMER/FALL 2007 15 ARCHIE CArr — TurTLE MAN “Dey nevah finish, Don Archie. De tel-tel (turtle) nevah finish.” ith a bellyful of fresh-fried turtle meat and homemade turtle soup, Archie Carr got a lecture from his cook, a slight mulatto woman standing in her kitchen on the ebony beaches of Turtle Bogue. It was Carr’s first visit to this dark, remote strip of CostaR ican beach. Tales of Turtle Bogue’s famous connection with sea turtles had finally drawn the distinguished, 43-year-old biologist from his academic home in Florida. It was the summer of 1952. How long will the turtles last? Carr wanted to know. Since his arrival, he had wit- nessed the daily slaughter on the beaches of females lumbering ashore to lay their eggs; the frantic hunt by natives and feral dogs for the few eggs the turtles managed to bury before being captured or killed.

  • Microbial Fermentation in Juvenile and Adult Pond Slider Turtles, Trachemys Scripta
    SHORTER COMMUNICATIONS Journal of Herpetology, Vol. 39, No. 2, pp. 321–324, 2005 Copyright 2005 Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles Microbial Fermentation in Juvenile and Adult Pond Slider Turtles, Trachemys scripta 1 SARAH S. BOUCHARD AND KAREN A. BJORNDAL Department of Zoology, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611, USA ABSTRACT.—Herbivorous reptiles use microbial gut symbionts to digest plant material. These symbionts ferment cell wall components, producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), which the host uses as an energy source. In reptiles, fermentation usually occurs in the large intestine; however, the freshwater Florida Red- Bellied Cooter, Pseudemys nelsoni, has both small and large intestine fermentation. Although small intestine fermentation has not been found in other chelonians, no other freshwater turtles have been examined. We measured SCFA concentrations in the digestive tracts of juvenile and adult Pond Sliders, Trachemys scripta. Like many other turtles, T. scripta experiences an ontogenetic diet shift from carnivory to herbivory, and it is unknown whether juveniles can digest plant material. We determined whether (1) this species harbors small intestine fermentation, (2) juveniles possess SCFA concentrations comparable to other herbivorous reptiles, and (3) a change in relative fermentation chamber capacity accompanies the diet shift. We fed turtles a plant diet for five weeks and then measured SCFA concentrations in their gastrointestinal tracts and the mass of gastrointestinal tract contents. Both juveniles and adults had SCFA concentrations comparable to other herbivorous reptiles; however, they did not have significant small intestine fermentation. Additionally, there was no difference between the relative masses of juvenile and adult fermentation chamber contents.
