Abstract

The Florida Department of Transportation's environmental policy is to cooperate with State efforts to avoid fragmentation of habitat and wildlife corridors. The policy requires consideration of existing facilities as well as planned projects. There is extensive coordination with both federal and state programs toward this end. Also, early in the project development process, communication with outside agencies and advocacy groups is necessary to coordinate the habitat and wildlife aspects. Innovative approaches and partnerships have resulted. Some of these are discussed in this paper.
