Additional Regional Assistance

Regional Species Conservation Planning Biologists are available to provide technical assistance on assorted listed non-marine wildlife issues.  You should contact your Regional Biologist to discuss wildlife scientific collecting, relocation, ecology, development, and nuisance issues.  Some situations may require both biological and permitting technical assistance.  We ask that you contact the Tallahassee permitting staff regarding issuance of required permits early on while seeking technical assistance through the Regional office.
