AVAILABILITY OF DRAFT MANAGEMENT PLAN

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission at its June 2006 meeting determined that delisting (removing from the imperiled species lists) the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) was warranted, and directed the development of a management plan. Delisting will not occur until delisting rules in the proposed plan are approved by the Commission. A draft management plan for the bald eagle has been prepared, and the Commission is now requesting written comments regarding conservation recommendations and expected economic, social, environmental and ecological impacts of implementing the management plan. Copies of the draft management plan are available at http://myfwc.com/imperiledspecies/petitions.htm. Written comments should be addressed to Bald Eagle Management Plan, 1239 S. W. 10th Street, Ocala, Florida 34474-2797, or submitted to eagle_plan@myFWC.com. Comments will be accepted until 11:59 p.m., July 2, 2007. Florida has a broad public records law. Your written communications, including e-mails, are public records subject to public disclosure.
