Gopher Tortoise Services,
Inc. offers complete gopher tortoise survey and relocation services. We
are committed to ensuring our clients receive the most thorough,
professional cost effective gopher tortoise services as possible to
protect gopher tortoises and commensal species throughout Florida!
The gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) is one of several
protected species commonly encountered during land development.
In September 2007
the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) up-listed the
gopher tortoise to a state threatened species and state regulations
regarding gopher tortoises changed. As part of this uplisting, the FWC
approved a gopher tortoise management plan that requires the relocation of
gopher tortoises to protected lands by certified individuals. These
individuals (gopher tortoise agents) must be certified to conduct tortoise
surveys and vegetation assessments, complete permit applications for
relocations and recipient sites, relocate tortoises by hand capture,
backhoe excavation, trapping, or modified pulling rods, perform transport
mark and release of tortoises or collect blood samples |
