Wildlife


From Key deer in the south to black bears in the north and central forests, Florida is wild. Look skyward to celebrate Florida as a birding hot spot. And with water everywhere, you can easily view 'gators, dolphins and manatees.

FWC adopts new seasons for gag grouper in Gulf The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) voted Feb. 8 to change how gag grouper is managed in Gulf of Mexico state waters (excluding Monroe County). The decision, which came during day two of the three-day February Commission meeting, will achieve consistency with federal management efforts while potentially providing a region-specific recreational season in four counties. The FWC manages marine fish from the shore to nine nautical miles in the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council manages Gulf of Mexico waters farther than nine nautical miles out. The following changes will make state gag grouper management efforts the same as recent federal gag grouper management efforts in the Gulf of Mexico: setting the recreational open season from July 1 through Oct. 31 and lowering the minimum commercial size limit from 24 inches to 22 inches total length. The Commission also authorized Chairman Kathy Barco and Executive Director Nick Wiley to issue an executive order opening gag grouper season in the state waters off Taylor, Jefferson, Wakulla and Franklin counties, including Apalachicola Bay and Indian Pass. This gag grouper recreational season, if implemented, will open harvest in state waters during April, May and June, and close harvest in those waters during the July-to-October season. These changes will better align fishing opportunity with fish availability. “I think we have to be sensitive to the economic side and the natural resource side,” said Commissioner Charles W. Roberts III. “I don’t think there is anybody here, especially in this room, who would like to jeopardize gag grouper. This isn’t an easy decision. We have to rely on the data we have available and make good decisions.” Gag grouper has been closed in Gulf of Mexico state waters since Nov. 16, 2011. The FWC believes applying these management changes will allow gag grouper populations to rebuild quickly while balancing the needs of anglers.

Next Steps for Rosemont Mine in Arizona Last month, we asked you write to the Forest Service and Army Corps to protect the scenic Santa Rita Mountains from mine waste dumping and an open-pit copper mine. Now that the comment periods are over it is time for both agencies to review and come to some decisions. The next step for the Forest Service is to write a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), which will go out for public review and comment before a record of decision is signed. However, many of the comments received and several of the cooperating agencies have asked that a supplemental Impact statement be written first. In fact the Forest Service has hinted that this may be a possibility. If a Supplemental EIS is written, there will need to be public review and comment on the supplement before the Final is written. The next step for the Army Corps will be deciding whether to grant the permit or not. The Corps has no time limit and it may ask for more information before making a decision. The Army Corps is clearly not bound by the 1872 Mining Law, so they have every right to deny the permit. If the permit is denied, it would be extremely difficult for the project to move forward! Help protect this beautiful "Sky Island" habitat of rare native species and for outdoor enthusiasts which is slated for destruction if the mine is built. Get more info at Save the Scenic Santa Ritas: http://www.scenicsantaritas.org/ and the Arizona Mining Reform Coalition: http://www.azminingreform.org/
