The County is working to gain coverage for the Quino checkerspot butterfly under the South County MSCP Subarea Plan. An "Envirogram" was prepared to illustrate the habitat attributes and stressors for the species. The County also gathered input from scientific experts in order to address the potential for habitat enhancement through the creation of an experimental design to be performed in test areas, and to address the issues of methods to perform surveys (see documents below).
