E Sciences Experience

Little Mud Creek Biological Assessment, FDOT District 4

E Sciences conducted a fast-track Endangered Species Biological Assessment and Essential Fish Habitat Assessment for this FDOT bridge reconstruction project in St. Lucie County. Work included field identification of protected and managed species and their habitats, including developing specifications and protocol for conducting a fish assemblage survey. Species observed included manatees, seagrasses and numerous fish and bird species.

Detailed field habitat mapping and wildlife observations were performed and an assessment report was written in accordance with PD&E Study guidelines and Section 7 consultation guidance. Agency coordination involved working with FDOT, the National Marine Fisheries Service, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
