FSA NewsImperiled Beach Nesting Birds Guidelines going live on October 1In 2022, the FWC approved new Species Conservation Measures and Permitting Guidelines for four species of imperiled beach-nesting birds (IBNB): American oystercatcher, snowy plover, least tern and black skimmer. These Guidelines are taking effect today, October 1st, 2024. Guidelines clarify protections for the species, provide options for avoiding impacts, and provide information on permitting, including minimization and mitigation options, when impacts are unavoidable. The FWC launched an IBNB Guidelines webpage to help the public navigate this process. The IBNB Permitted Monitor application process remains open. This role is described in Appendix C of the IBNB Species Conservation Measures and Permitting Guidelines. For detailed application instructions, requirements and recommendations, please read “How to Become an IBNB Permitted Monitor” on the IBNB Permitted Monitors webpage. To apply, please visit FWC’s permitting website. The Qualified Rooftop Monitor training is also available on FWC’s eLearner webpage. More information about this role is available in Appendix E of the IBNB Permitting Guidelines.
