Description: Lands included in the Integrated Habitat Network project (Coastal Settlements, Donations, Conservation Easements, and Acquisitions). The BMR is currently the lessee and manager of approximately 5,600 acres of State-owned land along the Peace and Alafia Rivers. In cooperation with landowners and the DSL, the BMR is also involved in the development of easement agreements and management plans and in the supervision of landowners activities on IHN lands committed to habitat management through conservation easement or deed restrictions. The BMR is currently the designated managing agency for over 22,000 acres of Perpetual Conservation Easements ("PCEs") in the phosphate mining district and the Green Swamp. Other properties within the confines of the IHN that are currently undergoing permit negotiations may eventually be defined and codified as PCEs and assigned to the BMR for management. The aggregation of disjunct properties comprising the IHN is located in the southern phosphate district in west central Florida. Two main categories of lands are found within the IHN - those acquired by the State and leased to appropriate managing agencies and those owned and managed by public or private entities. The State-owned lands have been acquired through settlement, donation, conservation easement/agreement, purchase, or regulatory action. Some of these lands have already been formally leased to the BMR for management; it is likely that other lands owned by the State may eventually become the management or monitoring responsibility of the BMR. The voluntary cooperation of the public and private owners whose lands are considered a significant part of the IHN is essential to attaining the goals of this plan.
