B-2 Statement of Work

I. GENERAL INFORMATION

A. Introduction: The US Geological Survey (USGS) has a requirement for fully found and crewed vessels, with support equipment as specified, to use as a base and for transport for USGS turtle trawling operations within the Gulf of Mexico.

B. Background: The US Geological Survey has used a USGS or cooperator vessel to complete work on endangered sea turtles, along nearshore coastal areas from Florida to Louisiana since April 2010. However, there is an additional need to perform research on threatened and endangered sea turtles offshore in the deeper waters of the Gulf of Mexico and into Texas waters. Due to the fact that no currently available USGS vessel meets the requirements of the project, since September 2017 the USGS has been contracting with a company experienced in trawling operations and who is licensed and familiar with state and federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico. The current contract is coming to an end and the need for this service continues. In addition to trawling, the company should also be able to provide a supply vessel, whereby USGS scientists and gear could be transported to and from trawling vessels while at sea.

C. Definitions:

1. Operational (at sea) Rate: Operational rate shall be defined as that time during which the contractor's vessel and crew are available and fully capable of at-sea operation. The course, direction, and ship movement is at Government discretion with due consideration for ship safety as determined by the vessel' s master. While at sea, weather time shall be defined as that time when the vessel is unavailable or unsuitable for operations due to inclement weather conditions.

During weather time, vessel shall be considered operational unless it is required to leave the field site for safety concerns.

2. Down/Standby Time: This category shall include the following element: Contractor' s down time at sea/at port shall be defined as that period of time when the contractor' s vessel and/or crew is being used for a trawling trip but is not available for Government use. Down Time/ Standby Time shall include contractor's in-port scheduled maintenance, repair of vessel and/or equipment, and waiting on weather. Delays due to unusually severe weather do not constitute down/standby time.

D. Scope (state general purpose, objectives, magnitude).

Sea turtles spend the majority of their lives at sea, yet little is known about their oceanic life compared to the biology of females and hatchlings on coastal nesting beaches. In addition, population modeling has shown that the sub-adult life-stage is the most critical to the stability and recovery of sea turtle populations (Crouse et al. 1987), with high elasticity (contribution to population growth) for subadults in particular. Recovery plans for the three most common species in the northern Gulf of Mexico (GoM), loggerheads (Caretta caretta), Kemp' s ridleys (Lepidochely s kempii) and green turtles (Chelonia mydas) all include monitoring of juveniles at in-water sites as a primary objective for population recovery (NMFS and USFWS 1991, NMFS and USFWS 2008, NMFS et al. 2011).

Very little is known about in-water turtle populations in the northern GoM. However, available data indicate that the northern GoM supports a large number of individuals (see Foley et al. 2007, Turtle Expert Working Group 2009, NMFS et

al. 2011, Avens et al. 2012). A fundamental issue in studies of sea turtle demography is the characterization of the functional demographic units (Chaloupka & Musick 1997, Rees et al. 2016), including the variability of demographic parameters (Bjorndal et al. 2014, Tucek et al. 2014). Along these lines, Bjorndal et al. (2011) identified 7 priorities for sea turtle restoration plans following the massive ecosystem perturbation caused by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill (April 2010). One of these priorities is to elucidate genetic links among and within populations. Demographics and habitat use can be determined, in part, by collecting genetic and stable isotope data (Wallace et al. 2010). Such data will help natural resource practitioners ensure that management actions occurring in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill help to support sustainable populations.

Objective(s): Utilize trawling operations to capture and tag sea turtles and collect biological samples to inform management decisions and provide valuable scientific insight on depth use, movement patterns, mortality risk, utilization of post¬ dredge sites and dive profiles of juveniles, sub-adults, and adult Kemp' s ridleys, loggerheads, and green turtles of both sexes. Tracking turtle movements may also provide data needed to validate the distance required to assess the feasibility of relocation and prevent multiple handlings of the same turtle. The data generated from this study is expected to provide information useful to a variety of Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration groups on sea turtle use of discrete foraging areas; genetic origin of sea turtles sampled at foraging areas; general sea turtle distribution patterns across space and time; and sea turtle dive profiles and patterns. Multiple research trips (varying in length from at least 3 days and up to two weeks) will take place throughout the year.

II. WORK REQUIREMENTS

A. Technical Requirements for trawling. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has a requirement for a fully found and crewed vessel, with support equipment as specified, to use as a base for USGS turtle trawling operations within the GoM.

This work requires the vessel be able to perform trawling on either a 12 hour or 24 hour schedule. In addition, the USGS has a requirement for supply vessel, whereby USGS scientists and gear could be transported to and from trawling vessels at sea.

a. The contractor shall provide as a minimum crew, a captain experienced in open water navigation in the Gulf of Mexico, other personnel as deemed necessary by the contractor and will possess all required licenses for boating and trawling activities.

b. The contractor shall provide the fully found, crewed vessel and support equipment to enable the Government to monitor turtles in the remote field sites of the Gulf of Mexico along the coast or off shore from Florida to Texas (as far as the Texas/Mexico border). Vessel and crew shall be able to perform either 12 hours or 24-hours trawling per day for up to 10 days. Exact dates will depend upon coordination of work with contractor, and relevant time for field work (weather delays). The vessel shall remain on the trawling site at all times during each trip.

c. Under this contract for trawling activities the Contractor is required to:

a. Provide a vessel conforming to all requirements described in this PWS.

b. Provide a crew to operate the vessel and manage the trawling nets. When a turtle is brought on board the vessel and is out of the net, the workup, tagging etc. will be done by USGS personnel. The crew will be available to help move turtles around as needed, but the crew will not be requested to perform any of the work up procedures.

c. Provide lodging and meals for all USGS personnel on board. The number of USGS personnel on each trawling trip will be between 1 and 2.

d. Ordering a vessel and crew for a trawling trip

The exact quantity and dates of trawling trips per year is not known, however the USGS estimate there will be between 2 and 4 trips per year. Trawling trips are typically seven (7) to ten (10) days. Trips can occur at any time during the year when weather conditions are favorable for trawling activities. When a vessel and crew are required for a trawling trip the USGS will provide written notice at least three weeks in advance of the desired trip start date.

e. Down/Standby Time for trawling. Down/Standby Time is defined at C.2. of the PWS. The Government will not pay for contractor down/standby time.
