Lee County Port Authority ? Southwest Florida International Airport Wildlife Hazard Assessment and Analysis
Johnson Engineering GIS team worked with company ecologists in designing a year-long study to track sightings of wildlife species that pose potential hazards for aircraft utilizing Southwest Florida International Airport.
