I tried YEARS AGO to talk the state into a head start program by harvesting live babies or eggs. I was told that nature would accomplish all this but here they're not ever going to become common unless their headstarted for several reasons. The first is a paucity of nesting habitat , periodic severe cold , and high nest predation. The entire S W coast of Florida has NO GOOD NESTING areas hence no breeding population occurs there. Two simple measures would allow this Florida populaion of acutus to flourish, one is build nesting areass in suitable habitat by increasing numbers quickly which could lead to croc versus man encounters...I'd rather have the Crocs..LOL
