South Florida Ecological Services Office - Vero Beach The Endangered Species Act Section 7 –Consultation with other Federal agencies to address potential take of federally listed species Section 10 –Provides a mechanism for permitting non-Federal projects that will result in “incidental take” of federally listed species South Florida Ecological Services Office - Vero Beach

Habitat Conservation Plan for the Red-cockaded Woodpecker Coverage for incidental take of the red-cockaded woodpecker Protects and restores pine flatwoods Problems with single species approach Address all species in area where impacts are expected (e.g., Florida panther) South Florida Ecological Services Office - Vero Beach FWC Photo

South Florida Ecological Services Office - Vero Beach Why Complete an HCP? Decrease cost and time burden placed on Collier County’s landowners Decrease regulatory workload, increase time efficiency Be proactive to eliminate regulatory surprises Clear expectations and certainty – Streamlining road and other infrastructure projects “Win-Win” for Development and Conservation South Florida Ecological Services Office - Vero Beach

Multi-Species HCP Addresses Federal threatened and endangered species and State species Protects several of Collier County’s rare and unique habitats Increases ability to secure HCP grants South Florida Ecological Services Office - Vero Beach USGS Photo

South Florida Ecological Services Office - Vero Beach HCP Challenges Up-front commitment of time and energy Carefully define scope – What would the HCP cover? County projects? County permits? Both? Identify creative approaches to offset impacts Build public support and build upon Collier County’s conservation leadership and successes South Florida Ecological Services Office - Vero Beach FWS Photos

South Florida Ecological Services Office - Vero Beach Take Home Messages The Fish and Wildlife Service is committed to providing Collier County with biological assistance HCPs must address all listed species in action area – No single-species management HCPs require up-front commitment of time and energy for long-term development and conservation benefits South Florida Ecological Services Office - Vero Beach SFWMD Photo
