Florida's Imperiled Species | ||||||
Under Article IV, Section 9 of the Florida Constitution, the FWC has constitutional authority to "exercise the regulatory and executive powers of the state with respect to wild animal life and fresh water aquatic life, and shall also exercise regulatory and executive powers of the state with respect to marine life..." However, whales, manatees, and sea turtles are managed under statutory authority granted by the Florida Legislature. On this site you will find rules and regulations along with other information pertaining to these animals. Thank you for your interest and support for listed species recovery in Florida.
