over a dozen species that are listed by the federal government as either being threatened or endangered
under the Endangered Species Act. 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. Roll call vote carried unanimously.
