Permit No. 1409 authorizes the permit holder to conduct research on green ( *Chelonia mydas* ) and loggerhead sea turtles ( *Caretta caretta* ) for scientific research. The research is attempting to characterize the turtle aggregations using the nearshore reefs in central Brevard County as developmental habitat and to better understand their foraging habitats and movements. The permit holder requests authorization to increase the research area by an additional 3.4 miles (5.5 kilometers) to the south in order to study animals using the lower less dense reefs in this area. No increase in take or additional research activities are requested. Dated: March 17, 2005. Stephen L. Leathery, Chief, Permits, Conservation and Education Division, Office of Protected Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service. [FR Doc. 05-5750 Filed 3-22-05; 8:45 am]
