Comprehensive Plan Conservation Element <br />These species often compete with or feed upon native species. <br />In Florida, official lists of endangered and potentially endangered flora and fauna have been <br />developed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), the Florida <br />Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDA), and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service <br />(USFWS). Tables 8.4A and 8.5B are inclusive lists of the endangered and potentially endangered <br />species of fauna and flora present in Indian River County. <br />The Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) has developed maps of habitat priorities in Indian River <br />County and throughout Florida. These priority areas are based on biodiversity of flora and fauna <br />species, with the more diverse areas being of higher priority. FNAI habitat priority areas in Indian <br />River County are depicted in Figure 8.12. <br />TABLE 8AA <br />STATUS OF SPECIES OF FAUNA IN INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />Designated Status <br />SCIENTIFIC NAME COMMON NAME COMMUNITY <br />FWC USFWS <br />REPTILES & AMPHIBIANS: <br />Alligator missippippiensis <br />Caretta caretta <br />Chelonia mydas mydas <br />Dermochelys coriacea <br />Drymarchon corais <br />Eretmocheyl imbricate <br />Gopherus poluphemus <br />Lepidochelys kempi <br />Neoseps reynoldsi <br />Nerodia fasciate taeniate <br />Pituophis melanoleucus <br />BIRDS: <br />Ajaia ajaia <br />Aphelocaoma coerulescens <br />Aramus guarauna <br />Egretta caeruleau <br />Egretta rufescens <br />Egretta thula <br />Egretta tricolor <br />Falco peregrinus tundrius <br />American alligator <br />Atlantic loggerhead turtle <br />Atlantic green turtle <br />Atlantic leatherback turtle <br />Eastern indigo snake <br />Atlantic hawksbill turtle (1) <br />Gopher tortoise <br />Atlantic Ridley turtle (1) <br />Sand skink <br />Atlantic salt marsh snake <br />Florida pine snake <br />Roseate spoonbill <br />Florida scrub jay <br />Limpkin <br />Little blue heron <br />Reddish egret <br />Snowy egret <br />Tricolored (Louisiana) heron <br />Arctic peregrine falcon <br />SSC T(S/A) 7,8,9,10,12 <br />T <br />T <br />1,14,15 <br />E <br />E <br />1,14,15 <br />E <br />E <br />1,15 <br />T <br />T <br />2,3,4,5,6,10 <br />E <br />E <br />1,15 <br />T <br />T <br />1,2 <br />E <br />E <br />1,15 <br />T <br />T <br />2 <br />T <br />T <br />8,9 <br />SSC <br />- <br />2,6 <br />SSC <br />- <br />8,9,14,16 <br />T <br />T <br />2 <br />SSC <br />- <br />10,12 <br />SSC <br />- <br />12 <br />SSC <br />- <br />8,9 <br />SSC <br />- <br />12 <br />SSC <br />- <br />12 <br />E <br />- <br />1,3,8,9,12 <br />Community Development Department Indian River County 33 <br />
