This led to decade's long litigation by environmental groups who challenged the issuance of flood insurance in the Keys on the basis that this insurance encourages and subsidizes development which ultimately jeopardizes the listed species. That litigation led to an injunction against the issuance of flood insurance on up to 50,000 parcels of property in the county which lasted for seven years. Amending the NFIA to prohibit the issuance of flood insurance for new development on known or suitable habitat for listed species would protect those species, conserve the expenditure of federal resources, and help the County reduce its exposure to property rights claims brought due to federal, state, and local regulations that have been developed to preserve this same habitat.
