Here are some details. I posted the presentation link on the Burmese python forum.
September 1, 2009
Contacts: (Inland issues) Henry Cabbage, 850-488-8843
(Marine issues) Lee Schlesinger, 850-487-0554
* Agenda (with links to background reports)
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission will meet at the Mission Inn in Howey-in-the-Hills Sept. 9-11. The meeting is open to the public at 10400 County Road 48. It will convene at 8:30 a.m. all three days.
The Sept. 9 (Wednesday) agenda will focus on inland issues, including discussion of a proposed rule to allow falconers to hunt with peregrine falcons. The proposal may be on the agenda for final approval in December if Commissioners direct FWC staff to proceed with developing it. Federal regulations would limit the program to five or fewer peregrines per year in Florida.
Another proposed rule on the Sept. 9 agenda would solidify an existing executive order allowing licensed hunters to kill nonnative reptiles of concern in select South Florida wildlife management areas. The rule will be up for final approval in December. As part of an overall review of existing regulatory measures for reptiles of concern, the Commission will be reviewing proposed legislation from Sen. Lee Constantine and others to enhance the FWC's efforts to regulate captive wildlife in Florida.
