FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION

AVAILABILITY OF DRAFT MANAGEMENT PLAN

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission at its June 2006 meeting determined that delisting (removing from the imperiled species lists) the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) was warranted, and directed the development of a management plan. Delisting will not occur until the delisting rules in the proposed plan are approved by the Commission. A first draft management plan for the bald eagle was prepared and made available for public comment. Comments were reviewed and the draft management plan revised. The Commission is now requesting written comments on the second draft management plan. Copies of the draft management plan will be available at http://myfwc.com/imperiledspecies/petitions.htm after 9:00 a.m., August 6, 2007. Written comments should be addressed to Bald Eagle Management Plan, 1239 S. W. 10th Street, Ocala, Florida 34474-2797, or submitted to [e-mail]. Comments will be accepted until 11:59 p.m., September 14, 2007. Florida has a broad public records law. Your written communications, including e-mails, are public records subject to public disclosure.
