The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission at its June 2008 meeting determined that removing the peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) from the States endangered species list was warranted, and directed staff to develop a management plan. Removing the peregrine falcon from the endangered species list will not occur until a management plan is approved by the Commission. A draft peregrine falcon management plan has been prepared, and the Commission is now requesting written comments on the plan, including those regarding conservation recommendations and expected economic and social impacts of implementing the plan. A copy of the draft management plan is available at www.MyFWC.com by clicking on the Draft Peregrine Plan Quick Click. Written comments should be addressed to Peregrine Falcon Management Plan, 1239 S. W. 10th Street, Ocala, Florida 34474-2797, or submitted to Peregrine@MyFWC.com. Comments will be accepted until 11:59 p.m., April 15, 2009. Florida has a broad public records law. Your written communications, including e-mails, are public records subject to public disclosure.
