Whenever the Commission establishes an area to be a wildlife
management area; a wildlife and environmental area; a wildlife refuge; a bird
sanctuary; a restricted hunting area; a critical wildlife area; a fish
management area; or a miscellaneous area, it shall do so by an establishment
order.
(1) The establishment order
shall recite, at least, the following:
(a) The
legal description of the area to be established.
(b) Any terms and conditions under which the
area is established.
(2)
An establishment order or subsequent executive order may create special
regulations for an area established pursuant to this section, notwithstanding
regulations for the wildlife management area, wildlife and environmental area,
fish management area, public small game hunting area or miscellaneous area
within which it occurs. Such regulations shall be noticed by posting on the
area and by electronic media.
(3)
The establishment orders shall be kept by the Commission in its headquarters
office and lists of all orders establishing an area as a wildlife management
area; a wildlife and environmental area; a wildlife refuge; a bird sanctuary; a
restricted hunting area; a critical wildlife area; a fish management area; a
Commission managed shooting range or a miscellaneous area shall be kept by the
Commission in its headquarters office and shall be available to the public for
inspection.
(4) Public small-game
hunting areas may be established within wildlife management areas, wildlife and
environmental areas, fish management areas, and public use areas pursuant to
Rule
68A-13.007, F.A.C. Regulations
for each public small-game hunting area so established shall supersede
regulations for the wildlife management area, wildlife and environmental area,
fish management area or miscellaneous area within which it occurs.
(5) No critical wildlife area shall be
established without the prior concurrence in such designation by the owner of
the property wherein the area will be situated.
(6) A critical wildlife area may be
established by order of the Executive Director, with prior concurrence of the
Chairman of the Commission, when there is an imperative need that an important
aggregation of fish or wildlife be protected as quickly as possible. Critical
wildlife areas shall be established in this manner for a specified period of
time that shall not exceed 180 days unless extended by approval of the
Commission at a regularly scheduled public meeting.
