The Commission will present draft Species Conservation Measures and Permitting Guidelines for 8 species included in Florida’s Imperiled Species Management Plan. This includes draft guidelines for the gopher frog; Florida mouse; mangrove rivulus; Suwannee cooter; Lower Keys populations of the red rat snake, peninsula ribbonsnake, and striped mud turtle; and a revised set of guidelines for the Florida pine snake. These guidelines outline biological background, recommended survey methodology, and voluntary conservation practices designed to improve conditions for these species. The webinars will provide the public an opportunity to provide feedback and offer suggestions on the proposed guidelines. Comments can also be sent to Imperiled@MyFWC.com.
