Why does the FWC need a management plan for the peregrine falcon?
A biological status review of the peregrine falcon was presented to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) in June 2008. The Commission asked staff to move forward on the process of delisting the falcon, which requires the drafting of a management plan as a first step. A draft of the plan will be released for public comment on Feb. 27. The draft will be presented for first hearing at the April Commission meeting in Tallahassee, with a final vote scheduled for June in Crystal River.
