Program Description

Event Details

Nonnative species do not belong in Florida. Some do not cause many, if any, problems. Others, however, are invasive, meaning that they negatively impact native fish and wildlife, cause damage that is costly to repair, or pose a threat to human health and safety.

Learn how to identify and report nonnative wildlife in SW Florida. Understand how Nile Monitors and Black Spiny-tailed Iguanas impact Burrowing Owls and Gopher Tortoises.

Presented by Tyson Dallas, Biologist with the Nonnative Fish and Wildlife Program.
