Negative Response Review – Management Plan Amendments

A management plan may be amended anytime that a managing agency wishes to add a previously unapproved land use or management activity.

Management Plan Amendments are posted on Thursdays for a two-week review period, except for State or Federal holidays. At the request of three or more ARC members, items on negative response may be placed on the next ARC agenda for review. Absent this request, the items are approved by delegated authority to the Division of State Lands.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has submitted an amendment to the Florida Keys Wildlife and Environmental Area management plan. This amendment adds additional language regarding first responder/military training within the WEA. Newly acquired lands include paved roads which are optimal for training activities. FWC held a public meeting on August 26, 2024, to discuss the amendment and received no public testimony. The link below contains the complete amendment with location map:
