Notice of Availability of a Final Implementation Schedule for the South Florida Multi-Species Recovery Plan

The Fish and Wildlife Service ("we," "our," or "Service") announces the availability of the Implementation schedule for the South Florida Multi-Species Recovery Plan (MSRP). The MSRP, as approved in 1999, included a discussion of the need for a coordinated effort to develop an implementation schedule. This implementation schedule was prepared with the assistance of the South Florida Multi- species/Ecosystem Recovery Implementation Team (MERIT). The implementation schedule prioritizes the recovery tasks as described in the MSRP on a community level, and identifies the associated participating parties, time frames, and costs necessary to accomplish those tasks.
