PART III. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE

The Implementation Schedule indicates task priorities, task numbers, task descriptions, duration of tasks,potential or participating parties, and lastly estimated costs (Table 6). These tasks, when accomplished, willbring about the recovery of the Florida manatee as discussed in Part II of this plan.

Parties with authority, responsibility, or expressed interest to implement a specific recovery task areidentified in the Implementation Schedule. When more than one party has been identified the proposed leadparty is indicated by an asterisk (*). The listing of a party in the Implementation Schedule does not implya requirement or that prior approval has been given by that party to participate or expend funds. However,parties willing to participate will benefit by being able to show in their own budget submittals that theirfunding request is for a recovery task which has been identified in an approved recovery plan and is thereforepart of the overall coordinated effort to recover the Florida manatee. Also, Section 7(a)(1) of the ESA directsall federal agencies to utilize their authorities in furtherance of the purposes of the ESA by carrying outprograms for the conservation of threatened and endangered species.

Following are definitions to column headings and keys to abbreviations and acronyms used in theImplementation Schedule:

PRIORITY NUMBER

Priority 1 - An action that must be taken to prevent extinction or to prevent the species fromdeclining irreversibly in the foreseeable future.

Priority 2 - An action that must be taken to prevent a significant decline in species population/habitatquality or some other significant impact short of extinction.

Priority 3 - All other actions necessary to provide for full recovery of the species.

TASK NUMBER AND TASK Recovery tasks as numbered in the Narrative Outline.

ESTIMATED ANNUAL BUDGETS AND OTHER PROJECTIONS OF RECOVERY PARTNERS

Based upon recovery partners’ current or proposed FY2001 budgets, it is estimated that close to $10 millionis being spent annually on manatee recovery. This estimate does not include several significant recoveryinitiatives. Costs for USCG and FWC-DLE’s manatee law enforcement efforts are not included in this total,nor are estimates included for COE, FDEP, and WMD regulatory programs which work regularly on manateeissues. Additionally, the COE’s and the South Florida WMD’s multi-million dollar project to retrofitnavigational locks and water control structures with manatee protection technology in South Florida andFDEP’s plan to retrofit structures at the Rodman Reservoir are not included in this total. It is possible thatthese programs may total an additional $4 to 5 million annually.

FWS FY 2001-2002 budget proposal for $1.36 million includes staff salary, recovery implementationprojects, and a $1 million congressional add-on for: (1) manatee law enforcement; (2) a newmanatee sanctuary and refuges initiative; and (3) a warm-water refuge initiative. In addition,regulatory consultations pertaining to manatee issues cost approximately $350 thousand annuallyin Florida. There is a need for two additional full time employees to handle the projected increasein consultations at a cost of $150 thousand.

COE, USCG, FDEP, and WMD’s regulatory programs work regularly on manatee issues; however it wasnot possible to project the annual costs of these programs.

COE and South Florida WMD have partnered through the Central and Southern Florida Project, includingmatching funds, over $6.3 million has been budgeted to retrofit navigational locks and water controlstructures in South Florida with manatee protection technology during the next five years. Indesigning and constructing critical projects for the Everglades Restoration Project, water controlstructures are being designed to be manatee-safe, and cost estimates are not available for theseprojects.

USCG No estimate regarding the cost of USCG enforcement efforts has been provided. When on patrol, theUSCG enforces all applicable federal laws and regulations. Costs of enforcing specific regulations,such as manatee speed zones, are not determinable. However, the USCG spends a significantamount of time patrolling navigable waterways that have speed zone regulations, and enforcementof speed zones is a high priority.

Sirenia FY 2001-2002 projected budget is $683 thousand.


-119-

FWC BPSM FY July 2000 - June 2001 budget of $1.566 million.FMRI FY July 2000 - June 2001 budget of $3.325 million. This includes: (1) FMRI’s researchbudget for $1.9 million; (2) $1.1 million administered by FMRI and earmarked for the critical careOceanaria facilities and to the University of Florida Veterinary School; and (3) an additional $325thousand in research contracts with MML that are administered by FMRI.DLE No estimates were made regarding manatee law enforcement efforts, but the effort probablyexceeds $1.0 million.

FDEP is budgeting to retrofit the Buchman Lock and Kirkpatrick Dam with manatee protection technology.Costs are anticipated to exceed $600 thousand over the next several years, however, this total is notincluded in the annual estimate.

GDNR FY 2001 budget of $19 thousand.

SMC FY 2001 proposed budget of $1.535 million.

MML FY 2001 manatee budget is $366 thousand. This includes $325 thousand in research contractsadministered by FMRI and $41 thousand from MML and CZS.

Oceanaria estimated costs of $1.5 million for 50 manatees annually at $30 thousand per animal for basicmaintenance of captive and rehabilitating animals. The critical care facilities receive $400 thousandfrom the Florida’s Save the Manatee Trust Fund, and these funds are administered through the FWC-FMRI budget.

FPL projects FY 2001 budget that includes $110 thousand for studying warm-water refuge issues and foreducation.
