South Florida Multi-Species Recovery Plan
Article Abstract:
The Multi-Species Recovery Plan for the Threatened and Endangered Species of South Florida uses an ecosystem-wide approach to assess the recovery and restoration requirements of endangered species and their habitats in the South Florida Ecosystem. This plan aims to ensure that the greatest diversity of species found in South Florida benefit from the management work of the Fish and Wildlife Service and its partners. For this reason, the plan will also include candidates for Federal listing, State-listed species, migratory birds and other species causing concern.

Florida's prairie
Article Abstract:
The prairie region of south-central Florida owes its existence to a combination of man-made and natural factors. Prescribed burning, cattle grazing, lightning fires and mechanical clearing have changed the landscape, which now resembles 'stranded' dry prairies. Among the species under threat in the region are the Florida grasshopper sparrow and the Florida burrowing owl. To help managers care for the remaining Florida prairie, new research is needed into the influences of seasonal fires and cattle grazing on the ecosystem.

Surveying wintering loons from the air
Article Abstract:
Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission's Nongame Wildlife section performed an aerial survey of wintering loons during the winter of 1991-1992 to determine their distribution, habitat use and densities along the Gulf Coast of Florida. In 8 flights covering the area between Cedar Key and St Joseph Bay, the pilot study found a total of 862 loons in 437 flocks. Analysis revealed a estimated population density of 1.13 flocks per square kilometer.
