<br />FDOT D4 SR7 PD &E Study
<br />(Individual Experience) - Palm Beach
<br />County Aviation Dept. was interested in
<br />identifying bird species and habitats used
<br />by these animals on its property. A
<br />number of incidents where airplanes
<br />came in contact with birds sparked
<br />interest in identifying problematic
<br />species. Mr. Mohler conducted surveys
<br />throughout the Palm Beach County
<br />property and supplied digital survey data
<br />sheets and Geographic Information
<br />System maps of documented sightings.
<br />Florida Atlantic University (FAU)
<br />Habitat Management Plan -The
<br />project involved updating the campus -
<br />wide Habitat Management Plan (HMP)
<br />for the Boca Raton campus of Florida
<br />Atlantic University (FAU). The HMP
<br />addressed the on -site preserve areas as
<br />well as undeveloped parcels that were
<br />slated for future development. The main
<br />goal of the HMP was to maintain the
<br />existing gopher tortoise and burrowing
<br />owl populations on campus. The HMP
<br />included updating the existing preserve
<br />area boundary, revising the management
<br />units, updating the habitat maps, updating
<br />the gopher tortoise and burrowing owl
<br />burrow location maps, including training
<br />of staff and contractors, exoticiferal
<br />species management, educational signage,
<br />and opinion of probable cost.
