Protected Species Regional Assistance

FWC regional map

Regional biologists are available to provide technical assistance on listed non-marine wildlife species issues. Please reach out to your regional FWC office and ask for the Wildlife Diversity Conservation regional biologist. Regional biologists are available to discuss wildlife scientific collecting, relocation, ecology, development, and nuisance issues. Some situations may require both biological and permitting technical assistance. We ask you to contact the Tallahassee permitting staff at (850) 921-5990 regarding issuance of required permits early on while seeking technical assistance through the Regional office.
