Members of the MERIT panther recovery subteam identified lands essential to the long-term survival of the Florida panther. The MERIT subteam defined the Primary Zone as \"all lands essential for the survival of the Florida panther in the wild.\" A Secondary Zone includes \"lands contiguous with the Primary Zone, and areas which panthers may currently use, and where expansion of the Florida panther population is most likely to occur\". Lastly, a Dispersal Zone was identified as an area needed for panthers to disperse north of the Caloosahatchee River.", "summary": "", "title": "DEP.ESSA_FL_PANTHER_FOCUS_AREAS_SP", "tags": [], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": 0, "maxScale": 0, "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "U.
