The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) announces the availability for public review of four draft recovery plans for the following species: The Key Largo woodrat (Neotoma floridana smalli) and cotton mouse (Peromyscus gossypinus allapaticola), Gulf sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus desotoi) two Hernando County plants (Campanula robinsiae, Justicia cooleyi), and four Apalachicola plants (Euphorbia telephioides, Macbridea alba, Pinguicula ionantha, Scutellaria floridana). The Key Largo woodrat and Key Largo cotton mouse are restricted to the north half of Key Largo, Monroe County, Florida. The Gulf sturgeon occurs in most major rivers from the Mississippi River to the Suwannee River, and marine waters of the central and eastern Gulf of Mexico and Florida Bay. The two Hernando County plants occur in the hilly countryside north of Tampa. The four Apalachicola plants occur in the pinelands and wetlands in Liberty, Franklin, Gulf, and Bay Counties in the Florida panhandle. The Service solicits review and comment from the public on these draft plans.
