Manatee County: what to check before fieldwork

Compare coastal and inland settings before choosing the survey scope. NWI polygons, hydric soil components and local elevation colors can help identify questions for field verification; they do not determine the wetland line. Check historical eagle nesting areas and verify habitat for the listed vertebrates returned for the county.

For the EA record, save your source dates, document each listed species’ habitat and occurrence evidence, and reconcile the desktop screen with field observations. Record unknowns explicitly.
