Wildlife Services activities are conducted in cooperation with other Federal, State, and local agencies, private organizations, and individuals. The APHIS WS program uses an Integrated Wildlife Damage Management (IWDM) approach (sometimes referred to as IPM or "Integrated Pest Management") in which a series of methods may be used or recommended to reduce wildlife damage. These methods include the alteration of cultural practices as well as habitat and behavioral modification to prevent damage. However, controlling wildlife damage may require that the offending animal(s) are killed or that the populations of the offending species be reduced. Purpose The purpose of this Inter -agency agreement is for WS to assist Virginia Key Beach Park in controlling nest predating raccoons (Procyon lotor). Raccoons depredate state and federally listed sea turtle nests and hatchlings, as well as cause human health and safety issues throughout the park. Planned APHIS WS Activities WS, through its local office, will provide a Wildlife Specialist to conduct raccoon control at Virginia Key Beach Park. The WS employee will have appropriate training and professional expertise to provide control and scientific advice regarding the control of raccoons. Additionally, WS will maintain all necessary permits and authorization for trapping as necessary. The planned activities for the Wildlife Specialist are identified below. • The Wildlife Specialists will conduct 1 five-day control period (approximately 40 hours) at Virginia Key Beach Park. • Cage traps and firearms are the primary tools WS will use for raccoon control. • The Wildlife Specialist will work closely with park personnel to determine when and where removal efforts should be applied on the property. • The Wildlife Specialist will conduct raccoon control after park hours to limit public interaction. • All raccoons will be disposed of on park property at the direction of park personnel.
