摘要

Trying to make gopher tortoises behave can be a real bear of a problem. The foot-long, state-protected, 9-lb. grass-eating turtles are particularly fond of the turf in the higher, dry, sandy areas around the runways at Orlando Sanford International Airport, an affinity that has cost the government and airport hundreds of thousands of dollars in semi-successful mitigation attempts over the years. "We're known as the gopher tortoise capital of Florida," says George Speake, vice president of operations and maintenance at for the Sanford Airport Authority. Speake's latest interdiction-installing artificial turf in place of grass-will cost the airport at least $14 million for its main runway if a $600,000 FAA-sponsored pilot program on 3.5 acres is successful.
