Michelle Wie, the 16-year-old from Hawaii, was tied for the lead with six holes to play until failing to save par from a bunker on the 13th hole, then settling for pars the rest of the way.

Wildlife division seeking input on protected species Special to the HHJ SOCIAL CIRCLE - The Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division seeks public input on the proposed status of species that have been nominated for addi tions, deletions and status changes under Georgia’s Wildflower Preservation Act and Georgia’s Endangered Wildlife Act. In addition, WRD seeks public input on a proposed rule authorizing the collec tion of state protected cray fish species for fishing bait. The WRD is carrying out the first comprehensive revi sion of Georgia’s list of pro tected plants and animals since 1992. These lists specify what species are protected under Georgia’s Wildflower Preservation Act and Georgia’s Endangered Wildlife Act, and are increas ingly used to help prioritize funding for conservation and research on rare species. The listing status of each species will be based upon the best available scien tific data and public input. Through regulations, the Board of Natural Resources will make the final deci sion on which species will be added to or deleted from the list. During the initial public input period, WRD received nominations to add 148 spe cies, delete 13 species, and change the status of 42 spe cies on the list. In consultation with experts both within and outside of the agency, WRD biologists have reviewed all available scientific and com mercial data and have made a preliminary determination regarding the status of all nominated species. These proposed statuses are listed in the attachment and are posted at www.geor giawildlife.com (Nongame Plants and Animals Page). Some species that were nominated for addition to the list will not be listed in the attachment because WRD determined that data did not merit listing or con cluded that the status of these species could not be accurately determined given existing information. These species are listed immediately after the pro posed protected species rules in the attached. “Because this list has a big influence on the conserva tion priorities of WRD and other conservation organiza tions, it’s important that it be based upon the most up to-date biological informa J I Donation Locations • 2209 Moody Rood • 115 Margie Drive ■ 1355 Sam Nunn Blvd. ■ Galleria Mall - 2922 Watson Blvd. THE HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL tion” said Mike Harris, Chief of the Nongame Wildlife and Natural Heritage Section of WRD. Overall, 122 species are proposed for addition to the list, 17 are proposed for removal from the list, and 39 species that are currently on the list have been pro posed for a change in status. The relatively large number of species being added to the list reflects increasing threats of habitat loss or degradation due to develop ment, non-native species, or other factors. The discovery of new rare species in the state has also led to some of the proposed listings. Delistings have been pro posed for various reasons, including the discovery of additional populations and the abatement of specific threats. Some species, such as the eastern cougar and the Bachman’s Warbler, were removed from the list because they have been extirpated from Georgia. “Species like these illus trate why we have to redou ble our efforts to protect Georgia’s rare species and habitats for future genera tions” said aquatic zoologist Brett Albanese, who is coor dinating the species revision process for WRD. Other species are proposed for a change in protection category (e.g., from threat ened to endangered) because of new information on their conservation status in the state. The WRD is proposing to add several rare crayfish species to the state’s list of protected animals. WRD biologists and other crayfish experts acknowledge that the collection of these spe cies for bait is not a threat to their conservation. Habitat loss, invasive spe cies, and naturally small geographic ranges are the primary threats to these spe cies. The limited distribution, low population size, and habitat requirements of the species proposed for state listing make it unlikely that anglers will collect them for bait. However, because anglers could collect these species and because it is often diffi cult to differentiate the pro posed protected crayfishes from more common species, WRD believes that is necessary to autho rize collection. “We don’t want anglers to be wor ried about violating the See SPECIES, page 6B John G. talker, Attorney at talker, Hulbert, Gray & Byrd, LLP, has been a rtiember of Kivanis for over 3 years.
