Discussion topics: 1. Which species are appropriate for multi-species management? 2. Approaches: FWCC’s biological review process for State-designated Threatened species FWCC – FDEP interagency regulatory authority via permits 3. FWCC – FDEP enforcement authority

Current state-listed beach-dependent birds: Nesting on Florida beaches: Least Tern (T) Snowy Plover (T) American Oystercatcher (SSC) Black Skimmer (SSC) Overwintering on Florida beaches: Piping Plover – federally endangered/threatened Red Knot – federal candidate species Which species are appropriate for multi-species management?

 Least Terns and Black Skimmers often nest together  American Oystercatchers and Snowy Plovers nest with or without the terns and skimmers Why not write a multi-species management plan regulating ALL of these currently listed species? COST-EFFECTIVE and biologically appropriate!

Current (9/23/09) draft language re: management plans Integrate multi-species management plan directive where biologically appropriate Plans must have specific, measurable goals, be enforceable and be enforced

Management plans for: SDT species (both federally-listed and >27 Millsap) Currently Threatened, Millsap 19-27, or data-deficient Currently SSC and data deficient Listing levels where multi-species management can be required:

Beach nourishment attracts nesting birds, especially Least Terns, Black Skimmers, and American Oystercatchers – all Florida listed species. (Public funds pay for these projects but sand is often deposited on privately- owned beaches.) Does FWCC work with DEP on beach nourishment permits to protect these species post-nourishment? Requirements for ongoing year-round bird surveys? Requirements for nest monitoring and posting? Private landowner pre-permission to post nesting locations through ordinance or regulation?
