    Species Status Assessment for the Striped Newt (Notophthalmus perstriatus) Version 1.0 Striped newt eft. Photo credit Ryan Means (used with permission). May 2018 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 Jacksonville, Florida 1 Acknowledgements This document was prepared by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s North Florida Field Office with assistance from the Georgia Field Office, and the striped newt Species Status Assessment Team (Sabrina West (USFWS-Region 8), Kaye London (USFWS-Region 4) Christopher Coppola (USFWS-Region 4), and Lourdes Mena (USFWS-Region 4)). Additionally, valuable peer reviews of a draft of this document were provided by Lora Smith (Jones Ecological Research Center) , Dirk Stevenson (Altamaha Consulting), Dr. Eric Hoffman (University of Central Florida), Dr. Susan Walls (USGS), and other partners, including members of the Striped Newt Working Group. We appreciate their comments, which resulted in a more robust status assessment and final report. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Species Status Assessment (SSA) is an in-depth review of the striped newt's (Notophthalmus perstriatus) biology and threats, an evaluation of its biological status, and an assessment of the resources and conditions needed to maintain species viability. We begin the SSA with an understanding of the species’ unique life history, and from that we evaluate the biological requirements of individuals, populations, and species using the principles of population resiliency, species redundancy, and species representation. All three concepts (or analogous ones) apply at both the population and species levels, and are explained that way below for simplicity and clarity as we introduce them. The striped newt is a small salamander that uses ephemeral wetlands and the upland habitat (scrub, mesic flatwoods, and sandhills) that surrounds those wetlands.

  • Comments Regarding FDOT Tampa Bay to Northeast Florida Study Area Concept Report May 28, 2013
    Comments Regarding FDOT Tampa Bay to Northeast Florida Study Area Concept Report May 28, 2013 These comments were submitted to FDOT on behalf of 1000 Friends of Florida, Audubon Florida, St. Johns Riverkeeper, Defenders of Wildlife and Conservancy of Southwest Florida 1. General process questions that require greater attention a) The 50 year planning horizon suggests that something other than traditional road building needs to be strongly evaluated. The basic fact in this corridor is that at this moment in time, roads have been the only alternative developed. Fifty years out this will still be the case unless other alternatives are planned and tried. b) Explanations are needed regarding the “planning and screening” process. c) It is very important to provide an inventory of approved but un-built developments in the region of this corridor study area. d) Each potential strategy should be assigned some weighting factor so people can understand how much of the problem each strategy resolves. In other words, how does one assess the relative importance/value of the “interstate 75 relievers” strategy against the “I-75 transportation needs” strategy? 2. Roadway development and environmental and growth management considerations a) Potential Connections to I-10 and the more coastal Tampa to Northwest Florida Connection - No mention is made of evaluating and/or prioritizing EXISTING rights-of- way when looking at expanded capacity such as US 301, US 19, US 27, SR 26, SR 41 and SR 99. For example, Highways 19, 27A, 98 is a major divided highway from about the Ingles/Yankeetown area to Perry/I-10 toward N.E.

  • Important Bird Areas in Florida
    Memorandum Bill Pranty, Florida IBA Coordinator Audubon of Florida 410 Ware Boulevard, Suite 702 Tampa, Florida 33619 1 July 2002 Dear Reviewer: The following manuscript is the product of 33 months of work by dozens of individuals who have assisted with Audubon of Florida’s IBA Program. This is an external review copy of the manuscript, and represents the final opportunity for widespread review. Due to a recent change in the production schedule, publication of The Important Bird Areas of Florida: 2000–2002 now is planned for spring 2003. Note that information in this draft manuscript is subject to change before publication. Please do not cite any information in this manuscript. Printed copies of the entire manuscript will be sent to the Florida IBA Executive Committee and a few other individuals. IBA site accounts will be sent to all site nominators. This PDF (Adobe Acrobat) copy of the manuscript has been posted to encourage maximum participation in the review process. (Despite the significant contributions that the IBA Program has received, several important potential contributors undoubtedly have been overlooked. I will be grateful to readers who inform their colleagues about this manuscript). Please read the introductory material before reviewing the IBA site accounts. Many “blanks” remain in the site accounts (and elsewhere in the text), and questions or comments are included in brackets and underlined. It is anticipated that missing data will be supplied by the site nominators and other reviewers. Several additional tasks remain to be completed by the Executive Committee or me; some of these are listed on the following page.

  • Management Strategies for Florida's Ephemeral Ponds and Pond-Breeding Amphibians
    Management Strategies for Florida’s Ephemeral Ponds and Pond-Breeding Amphibians Final Report 2008 Project Director: Rebecca Means Report Period: July 1, 2005 – March 31, 2008 Date Submitted: June 1, 2008 FWC Agreement Number 05039 Abstract i ABSTRACT Studies on the herpetofauna of ephemeral ponds have been conducted across the state. However, existing data on ephemeral pond-breeding amphibians are scattered and are not readily available to land managers, policy makers, scientists, and other interested stakeholders. This project was designed to synthesize existing information for these species in order to develop management strategies for ephemeral ponds, particularly as they pertain to amphibian conservation. Involving stakeholders during this process provided additional input as well as disseminated the information in a manner that facilitated discussion. Other project objectives included developing a geo-referenced database for ephemeral pond-breeding amphibian research and surveying ephemeral ponds. The project focused specifically on 5 Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN): flatwoods salamander (now two species – Ambystoma bishopi and A. cingulatum), tiger salamander (A. tigrinum), striped newt (Notophthalmus perstriatus), ornate chorus frog (Pseudacris ornata), and gopher frog (Rana capito). This final report contains results from a 3-year project. A comprehensive literature search was conducted and over 800 references were collected and reviewed. This information was synthesized to provide a source of information for ephemeral pond ecology, ephemeral pond-breeding amphibians, greatest threats, and research gaps, as well as to facilitate the development of management strategies. Biologists, public and private agencies, and universities were contacted to gather information about ephemeral pond research conducted on public and private lands.

  • Jim Stevenson Resource Manager of the Year” 2013 Awards Are Announced!
    “Jim Stevenson Resource Manager of the Year” 2013 Awards are Announced! Author: Dana C. Bryan, Environmental Policy Coordinator, Florida Park Service The public conservation and recreation lands of Florida are managed by many dedicated public servants, chiefly from three state agencies - the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the Florida Forest Service, and the Florida Park Service. Every year, the Governor and Cabinet recognize an outstanding employee from each agency by awarding him/her with the Jim Stevenson Resource Manager of the Year Award. The award is named for James A. Stevenson, who contributed tireless leadership in ecosystem management, prescribed burning, exotic plant control, and springs protection during his long career with DEP’s Florida Park Service and Division of State Lands. The 2013 winners are: Phil Manor, District Wildlife Biologist, Northwest Region, Division of Habitat and Species Conservation, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Phil is a proven leader in FWC’s efforts to restore and enhance wildlife habitat on both FWC-managed and partnership lands. His efforts have not only transformed landscapes, but have created and supported a diversity of nature-based recreation from paddling trails to wildlife viewing for Floridians and visitors to the Sunshine State. Phil has been especially effective at finding interagency opportunities to overcome constraints and leverage resources. He understands the importance of initiating and fostering communication with both private and public neighbors for facilitating prescribed burning, controlling exotics, or simply engendering mutual understanding and support of conservation efforts. Phil was a founder of the Apalachicola Regional Stewardship Alliance, a consortium of governmental and NGOs dedicated to enhancing management of natural resources on over 1 million acres in the Apalachicola River basin and environs.

    2020 Florida Forever Five-Year Plan Summary of Recommendations and Status as of December 2019 Baldwin Bay/St. Marys River Division of State Lands Florida Department of Environmental Protection As approved by the Board of Trustees Internal Improvement Trust Fund May 2020 2020 Florida Forever Five-Year Plan Report Baldwin Bay/St. Marys River Duval, Nassau Partnerships and Regional Incentives Project-at-a-Glance Placed on List 2002 Project Area 9,128 Acres Acquired 734 at a Cost of $0 Acres Remaining 8,394 Propose for State Acquistion The 9,128 acres of the Baldwin Bay/St. Marys River project would preserve relatively intact forests and flatwoods of older growth trees. This project would also assist in the development of an ecological connector between Cary State Forest and Jennings State Forest and provide a corridor from the Northeast Florida Timberlands and Watershed Reserve Florida Forever project to the St. Marys River. The proposal will connect to the Jacksonville-Baldwin Rail Trail and will increase the recreational opportunities for all trail users. The Jacksonville-Baldwin Rail Trail connection occurs in an area where the City of Jacksonville is developing its primary equestrian facility access point. Manager(s) The Florida Forest Service/FFS proposes to manage the project with a multiple-use management regime consistent with the state forest system. Management would be designed to accomplish the goals and measures for this project. General Description The Baldwin Bay/St. Marys River project is in Nassau and Duval counties and is approximately 9,128 acres in size. The multiple owners are offering the project as fee simple.
