The purpose of these proposed rule revisions is to incorporate the Commission-approved Gopher Tortoise Management Plan, the Commission-approved Gopher Tortoise Permitting Guidelines, and revised Commission-approved guidelines for the Florida pine snake; add the Gulf of Mexico Bryde’s whale to the Florida Endangered and Threatened Species list as federally endangered. The effect of this rule revision is to add hyperlinks and reference to the Gopher Tortoise Management Plan and two revised Commission-approved guidelines, and add the Gulf of Mexico Bryde’s whale to the Florida Endangered and Threatened Species list to maintain consistency among state and federal listing processes.
