The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is asking for public feedback on draft Species Conservation Measures and Permitting Guidelines for four state-listed beach-nesting bird species.
The species include the American oystercatcher, snowy plover, least tern and black skimmer all of which nest in Franklin County.
Once approved the guidelines will be part of Florida’s Imperiled Species Management Plan.
Species Conservation Measures and Permitting Guidelines are intended to provide information on rule requirements as they relate to permitting.
They also provide information on the species’ range, survey methodology and voluntary practices that can benefit the species.
All four species of state-listed beach-nesting birds are included in one set of draft guidelines, which is now available for review and comment.
The FWC will hold 4 webinars to discuss the measures; the first webinar will be tomorrow from 9 to 10 AM.
There will also be a webinar on Thursday, as well as on September the 29th and October the 11th.
