(IPM) Surveillance driven as mandated by Florida State
Law: Chapter 388, F.S. and FL Administrative Code 5E-13.
Source Reduction – from “Tip and/or Toss” to salt marsh work with equipment.
Biological control – fish propagation and “seeding”.Larviciding and Adulticiding.Community Outreach and Public Education.
