Description: This is a map from the Southwest Florida Watershed Management District or SWFWMD of the Springs Coast watershed strategic habitat conservation area, areas of conservation interest and potential natural areas, created on February 23, 2001. The following classifications are shown by color: Strategic Habitat Conservation Areas (pink), Existing Conservation Areas (green), Areas of Conservation Interest (blue crosshatch), Potential Natural Areas (red crosshatch). It also shows the Watershed Management boundary shown by the thick black line, US/State roads, inland water and county boundaries. "Strategic Habitat Conservation Areas data were obtained from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Areas of Conservation interest and potential natural areas were obtained from the Florida Natural Areas Inventory. Areas of conservation interest are sites where exceptional natural values have been confirmed through ground surveys and actual occurrence of endangered species and/or communities. Potential natural areas have not been surveyed but are projected to have significant natural value based on interpretation of aerial photography." —Southwest Florida Watershed Management District
