Imperiled Beach-nesting Birds

If you are interested in becoming an IBNB Permitted Monitor and would like to gain the required monitoring experience alongside skilled bird monitors during the 2024 nesting season, please contact your local FSA Partnership. In addition to monitoring experience, individuals need to complete FWC’s online training to meet permit requirements. Learn more about how you or your consulting staff can become an IBNB Permitted Monitor by visiting the FWC’s IBNB Permitted Monitor webpage.
