  • Crooked River Mitigation Bank
    Crooked River Mitigation Bank Section G of the Environmental Resource Permit Application Introduction The Crooked River Mitigation Bank (CRMB, Bank) consists of 323.10 acres of a mixture of degraded natural wetland and upland habitats, and agricultural areas where the historical natural habitats have been converted to citrus grove. In general, the site consists of variable hydroperiod herbaceous and forested wetlands intermixed with pine flatwoods in the south, along with herbaceous and forested wetlands surrounding a citrus grove in the north. Old Polk City Road bisects the CRMB near the northern boundary. The entire site is currently degraded by habitat conversion, intensive agriculture, exotic species invasion, trash deposition, fire suppression, and hydrological impacts. Hydrological impacts include the continuous deposition of soil runoff, herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizer from the active citrus grove into all onsite and some offsite wetlands. The CRMB site exhibits both additional exempt agricultural development potential as well as residential development potential due to the proximity to County Road 557 and Interstate 4. Establishment of Crooked River Mitigation Bank will save this site from current aquatic impacts, further development and irreversible loss of aquatic function. The entire CRMB is owned fee-simple by the Hillbilly Holdings, LLC. There are old mineral reservations with no right of entry in some areas of the CRMB; these old mineral reservations will not interfere with Bank establishment. Part 1: Location of the Proposed Mitigation Bank (62-342.450(1), F.A.C.) The CRMB is located in Sections 4, 5, 8, 9, Township 27S, Range 26E with the approximate center of the site located at Latitude 28° 09’ 23.39” N, Longitude -81° 43’ 17.24” W.

    1 Segment 5 Crooked River/St. Marks Refuge Emergency contact information: 911 Franklin County Sheriff’s Office: 850-670-8500 Wakulla County Sheriff’s Office: 850-745-7100 Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission 24-hour wildlife emergency/boating under the influence hotline: 1-888-404-3922 Begin: St. George Island State Park End: Aucilla River launch Distance: 100-103 miles Duration: 8-9 days Special Considerations: Extreme caution is advised in paddling open water areas from St. George Island to Carrabelle and in paddling across Ochlockonee Bay. Introduction From traditional fishing communities to wild stretches of shoreline, tidal creeks and rivers, this segment is one where paddlers can steep themselves in “Old Florida.” This is also the only segment where paddlers can follow two scenic rivers for a significant distance: the Crooked and Ochlockonee rivers. The Crooked River is the only area along the trail where paddlers have a good chance of spotting a Florida black bear. Several hundred black bears roam the Tate’s Hell/Apalachicola National Forest area, one of six major black bear havens in the state. Florida black bears are protected under Florida law. Keep food and garbage tightly packed and hanging in a bag from a tree branch at least ten feet off the ground. In paddling the Crooked River paddlers will enjoy a slice of the untrammeled 200,000- plus-acre Tate's Hell State Forest. This scenic route also features Ochlockonee River State Park where there is a full-service campground a short distance from the water. For camping reservations, visit Reserve America or call (800) 326-3521.

  • Your Guide to Eating Fish Caught in Florida
    Fish Consumption Advisories are published periodically by the Your Guide State of Florida to alert consumers about the possibility of chemically contaminated fish in Florida waters. To Eating The advisories are meant to inform the public of potential health risks of specific fish species from specific Fish Caught water bodies. In Florida February 2019 Florida Department of Health Prepared in cooperation with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and Agriculture and Consumer Services, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission 2019 Florida Fish Advisories • Table 1: Eating Guidelines for Fresh Water Fish from Florida Waters (based on mercury levels) page 1-50 • Table 2: Eating Guidelines for Marine and Estuarine Fish from Florida Waters (based on mercury levels) page 51-52 • Table 3: Eating Guidelines for species from Florida Waters with Heavy Metals (other than mercury), Dioxin, Pesticides, Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), or Saxitoxin Contamination page 53-54 Eating Fish is an important part of a healthy diet. Rich in vitamins and low in fat, fish contains protein we need for strong bodies. It is also an excellent source of nutrition for proper growth and development. In fact, the American Heart Association recommends that you eat two meals of fish or seafood every week. At the same time, most Florida seafood has low to medium levels of mercury. Depending on the age of the fish, the type of fish, and the condition of the water the fish lives in, the levels of mercury found in fish are different. While mercury in rivers, creeks, ponds, and lakes can build up in some fish to levels that can be harmful, most fish caught in Florida can be eaten without harm.
