Description: The species occurrence records were acquired from 2 sources. The fist set consists of survey data collected by John Knight (FWCC). His surveys were conducted from April 2005 to April 2008. During this interval 418 unique sites were sampled and a total of 12,401 records representing 116 species were collected. The second set is an existing FWCC database.
Description: This shapefile contains the locations of calls from the public regarding human-black bear (Ursus americanus floridanus) interactions in the state of Florida. This dataset includes only those reports that are associated with concurrent bear observations in the general vicinity of the caller.
Description: This dataset contains the locations of Florida black bear (Ursus americanus floridanus) roadkills within the state of Florida, maintained by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC).
Description: This spatial dataset is a compilation of 4 different spatial datasets from studies collecting black bear telemetry locations in Florida from 1983 to 2007.
Description: A bear management unit (BMU) is a geographic location bounded by county and/or state borders with one of the seven Florida black bear subpopulations within it. The goal of a BMU is to provide a defined area within which FWC can have a community-focused effort to effectively manage and conserve Florida black bears.
Description: Known bald eagle nesting territories within the 2010-2011 survey regions were surveyed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) during the 2010 - 2011 nesting season with fixed-wing or rotary-wing aircraft beginning in late November 2010 and extending through mid-April 2011.
Description: Positive identification of Flatwoods Salamanders from a 4 year FWC survey of ponds (2001-2005) through the range of Flatwoods Salamanders in Florida.
Description: The Florida panther (Puma concolor coryi) mortality database contains all known and documented mortalities including known or likely causes. This dataset reflects dead and/or injured Florida panthers from 1972 to April 2012.
Description: This dataset represents Florida panther (Puma concolor coryi) radio-telemetry data collected February 1981-July 2011. These data were collected by three entities: the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), Everglades National Park (ENP), and Big Cypress National Preserve (BCNP).
Description: All known Pine Barrens Treefrog locations digitized from paper maps maintained by Paul Moler of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
Description: This shapefile contains location information on the Red Cockaded Woodpecker collected by various state and federal agencies including the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
Description: This GIS data set comprises a portion of the Gulf-Wide Information System (G-WIS) database for the entire coastal zone of Florida and the lower St. Johns River. This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for reptiles.
Description: All known Sand Skink locations digitized from paper maps maintained by Paul Moler of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
Description: This shapefile plots the locaitons of all Florida Scrub-Jays in 1992-1993 including the size (numbers) of individual families wherever possible.
Description: Coordinated by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission - Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI), the Florida Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network (STSSN) is responsible for gathering standardized data on stranded marine turtles throughout the state.
Description: The State of Florida (FL), through the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's (FWC) Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI), coordinates the Statewide Nesting Beach Survey program (SNBS). The SNBS was initiated in 1979 under a cooperative agreement between FWC (then DNR) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Its purpose is to document the total distribution, seasonality, and abundance of nesting by sea turtles in Florida. Three species of sea turtles, the loggerhead (Caretta caretta), the green turtle (Chelonia mydas), and the leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea), nest regularly on Florida's beaches.
Description: Positive identification of Striped Newts from two sources:
1. Means, D. B., and R. C. Means. 1998. Distribution of the striped newt (Notophthalmus perstriatus) and gopher frog (Rana capito) in Munson sand hills of the Florida panhandle. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Jackson, Mississippi, USA.
2. Johnson, S. A., and R. D. Owen. 2005. Status of historical striped newt (Notophthalmus perstriatus) locations in peninsular Florida and some "new" locations. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Tallahassee, Florida, USA.
Description: This is a point shapefile created from a query of the FWC WildObs2010 database. The database provides a standardized format for recording and managing incidental, casual, or short-term systematic observations of wildlife.
