The Endangered Species Act of 1973 then with the U.S. Senate action in 2006 created Endangered Species as the third Friday in May each year. This act covers all species thus protecting the biodiversity of all living beings.
Some of the local species include Kemp's Ridley Turtle, Ocelots, Piping Plover, Roseate Spoonbill, Brown Pelican, and Hawksbilled Turtle. Audubon has gone on to include all coastal and wet lands wading and nesting birds. Gulf Stream flows and eddies will show how species can be effected.
