DRAFT 13 June 2007 JEKYLL ISLAND CONSERVATION PLAN FLORAL AND FAUNAL LISTS Submitted To: The Jekyll Island State Park Authority 381 Riverview Drive Jekyll Island, Georgia 31527 By: Cabin Bluff Land Management P.O. Box 999 Woodbine, Georgia 31569 912-673-9309 - Telephone 912-576-7154 – Facsimile H-1 DRAFT 13 June 2007 JEKYLL ISLAND CONSERVATION PLAN FLORAL & FAUNAL LISTS INTRODUCTION This section of the plan contains lists of plants, selected invertebrate, fish, amphibian, reptile, bird, mammal species that may be associated with Jekyll Island. For some taxonomic groups, specifically the invertebrates, fish, birds, and marine mammals, the area includes Jekyll Island and the nearshore waters, while for the other groups the list is pretty much a list of species that may actually occur on the island. For most of the lists, the species are labeled as verified to occur on the island, probably occur on the island (but not verified), or could occur on the island. Verification in this instance was through simple observation by one of the team member or other reliable person with a background in the species being considered, available field notes, literature review, or historically collected specimen. Released animals from the Jekyll Island Club and plantation eras that are not extant today, but have historic records are also noted in some of the lists. H-2 DRAFT 13 June 2007 PLANTS This list of vascular plants occurring in the undeveloped portions of Jekyll Island was compiled from literature reviews, limited herbarium records, and visits to the island. The roughly 845 species on this list have either been verified (V) to occur on the island, probably (P) occur on the island and can be verified with additional field work, or could (C) occur on the island. This list does not include many of the cultivated plants that occur in the developed portions of the island.
