Abstract/Contents:Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. Restore and improve the remaining tropical hardwood hammock habitat surrounding the Ocean Reef Golf Course by reintroducing native adult nectar sources and larval host plants in order to create significant natural habitat suitable to maintain and nourish transient adult butterflies and allow for the establishment of new breeding colonies on the northern end of Key Largo. 2. Establish a viable corridor for adult movement and regular gene flow between already existing Schaus Swallowtail butterfly colonies within Biscayne National Park and those present on Key Largo." This three year study started in 1999.

USGA Summary Points:Safe Harbor Agreement was negotiated with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for each golf course. Nectar source plants have been purchased for the golf courses and planting is planned after transplants have reached acceptable size. Public displays are being prepared regarding the need for the project, a description of the endangered Schaus Swallowtail, and the Wildlife Links Program. Schaus Swallowtail monitoring will continue in years two and three of the project.
