Abstract

A study was undertaken to examine ways and means of reducing mortality of Florida Key deer due to deer-vehicle collisions (DVCs) along United States Highway 1 on Big Pine Key. Results revealed that extensive urban development along the highway was a cause of the collisions and erection of deer fencing, deer guards and underpasses decreased the risk of collisions.
