    FOREWORD· In their present relatively undeveloped state, the upper Florida Keys and the adjoining waters and submerged. lands of Biscayne ~ay and the Atlantic Ocean are an enviromr~.ental element highly important to Florida ancl a valuable recreation resource for the nation. Fully aware that intensive private development would greatly alter . these values, the Secretary of the Interior directed the National Park Service and the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, assisted by the Fish and Wildlife Service, to conduct studies of the area. This interim professional report is the r~sult of these studies. It is being distributed now to solicit the comments and suggestions of interested parties. The additional information obtained in this manner will be utilized by the National Park Service and the Bureau of Outdoor Recre­ ation to complete the study and formulate recommendations to the Secretary· of the Interior. It is requested that comments and suggestions on this interim profes­ sional report be sent to the Regional Director, Southeast Region, Na­ tional Park Service, P. 0.

This species is tropical in origin being derived from West Indian forms. It is restricted to the tropical hardwood hammocks scattered throughout south Florida including the Florida Keys. There are 58 named color forms. Of these, 10 are extinct in their native habitat and 4 may soon become extinct.

WILLIAM E. DUE:LLMAN and ALBERT SCHWARTZ l SYNOPSIS: The 85 species of reptiles and amphibians known to occur in southern peninsular Florida and the Florida Keys are treated systematically. The discussion for each species includes data on variation, ecology, life history, habits, and distribution. The definition of geographid races in southern Florida has been accomplished only after extensive analyses of the variation encountered throughout the peninsula. The area of study is broken down-into six major habi- tats; the distribution of the species in these habitats is analyzed. Ideas on the origin and relationships of the herpetofauna of southern F16rida are assayed on the basis of a knotledge of the history of the peninsula and Florida Keys and on what is known of the relationships of the component species of the herpetofauna.

The last comprehensive management plan for the park was completed in 1983. Much has changed since 1983 — the population near the park has greatly increased, visitor use patterns and types have changed, and people have brought new recreational activities into the park. Each of these changes has implications for how visitors access and use the national park and the facilities needed to support those uses, how resources are managed and protected, and how the National Park Service manages its operations. A new plan is needed. This document examines 5 alternatives for managing Biscayne National Park for the next 15 to 20 years. It also analyzes the impacts of implementing each of the alternatives. The “no-action” alternative, alternative 1, consists of the existing park management and trends and serves as a basis for comparison in evaluating the other alternatives. The concept for park management under alternative 2 would be to emphasize the recreational use of the park while providing for resource protection as governed by law, policy, or resource sensitivity.
