The FWC established the Office of Policy and Stakeholder Coordination in 2004 in response to a survey that told us people interested in Florida’s fish and wildlife resources saw conservation as a top priority for the FWC to address. The Office of Policy and Stakeholder Coordination serves to coordinate how the agency’s divisions, offices and Fish and Wildlife Research Institute: interact with other agencies that regulate actions that can affect fish and wildlife resources; interact with stakeholder groups on issues that affect fish and wildlife resources; and establish and enhance partnerships that promote conservation of fish and wildlife resources.
To this end, it also coordinates development of agency policies, positions and guidelines on resource-conservation issues; and it assists the divisions and regional directors in FWC rulemaking.
