About the size of a large dog, the deer are indigenous to the lower Florida Keys and were almost hunted to extinction prior to the establishment of the refuge in 1957. Since then, the size of the herd has increased from less than 50 to about 700 animals. Photo by Andy Newman/Florida Keys News Bureau

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) are seeking input from those who live, work, or recreate in Monroe County by completing a brief online survey about Key deer.

The survey is intended to better understand public awareness, experiences and interest in Key deer conservation and outreach.

Participation is voluntary and takes approximately 15 minutes. These survey responses will support efforts to protect and conserve this unique species found only in the Florida Keys.
