The Commission’s imperiled species rules were significantly revised in 2010, and as a result, all then listed species that had not had their status recently reviewed were evaluated against the listing criteria. Based on these evaluations, staff made listing status recommendations to the Commission. The Commission approved these recommendation in June 2011. However, as specified by rule, any listing status changes were not to be implemented until a management plan for the species was approved. The Imperiled Species Management Plan (ISMP) covering these species is being approved concurrently with this rule revision. This revision includes reclassifying 23 species from Species of Special Concern to State designated Threatened and adding them to the Florida Endangered and Threatened Species List, and reclassifying 13 species from Species of Special Concern to unlisted and removing them from the list. Additionally, the revision removes language referring to a moratorium that is no longer in effect.
