ISLAND SUN - OCTOBER 9, 2015 15 SCCF, FGCU Study Investigates Box Turtles submitted by Chris Lechowicz (SCCF) and Natasha Gibson (FGCU) lorida box turtles (Terrapene carolina Fbauri) are a small – up to 7 inches – semi-aquatic turtle that are found throughout the penin- sula and numerous barrier islands in Florida. These long-lived turtles are known to live over a half century (with records well over 100 years) and have relatively small home ranges on the mainland, which make them ideal for long-term research.

The Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF) has been collecting data on box turtles from Sanibel and Captiva since 2002. They have nearly 200 box turtles marked (PIT tags and scute notch- ing) on the islands. Several organizations on Sanibel and Captiva have assisted with this number by report- ing box turtles when they are seen. Most notably, The Sanctuary Golf Club has Natasha Gibson, an environmental studies major at FGCU, uses a tracking monitor to find box turtle #188 been instrumental in getting the total number near 200. Kyle Sweet, course superintendent at The Sanctuary Golf Club, has his grounds staff excited about assisting with the project by making sure all observed box turtles are processed as part of the project. Recaptures of marked box turtles are infrequent, which makes it hard to get a real picture of the actual home range of insular (island) box turtles.
