Nesting Season Summary: A report summarizing methods, numbers of sea turtle emergences by species, nest fates of all marked nests, and reproductive success of evaluated nests,and an assessment of project performance on sea turtle nesting and reproductive success, including interpretive analyses and graphic representations, will be prepared and submitted to APTIM within 90 days of the completion of all monitoring activities. 2. Summary Spreadsheet of Sea Turtle Nesting Activity: At the end of the 2022 nesting season, a permit-required Excel spreadsheet summarizing all nesting activity and reproductive success within the Project and Reference Areas will be prepared and submitted electronically to APTIM/Indian River County, JCP Compliance, and FWC.
