GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: This is an exploratory meeting, designed to investigate the possibility of creating a Steering Committee to guide the development of a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) for the sandy beaches of Florida. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) has determined that a Steering Committee composed of experts and stakeholders from many fields will aid in the development of a more robust HCP. This meeting will be an effort to identify and nominate individuals to sit on the proposed committee. The nominations resulting from this meeting will be given to the Executive Director of FDEP for approval, and may result in the formal adoption of a Steering Committee for the HCP process.
