FY 2012 - Ongoing occupancy monitoring of populations, particularly of Perdido Key beach mice in all three main populations (Johnson Beach, Perdido Key State Park, and Gulf State Park (AL)). For the Alabama Beach Mouse: a long term habitat monitoring at 40 points within the pre-Ivan and pre-Katrina range was done. ABM sign (tracks or burrows, or eaten seeds) was noted at all 40 sites. Thus, possibly the range of the ABM is at or equal too, pre-Ivan ranges covering all habitat types, primary, secondary, tertiary, and interior scrub. However, population levels are not at pre-Ivan levels based on data received from ITP's.

Zoologic is prearing a plan for the captive breeding pilot project with the addition of captive breeding CBM to see if feasible to breed and rentroduce captive bred mice vs wild caught mice. In the early 1980s FWS contracted with the AL Research Coop Unit at Auburn University to captive breed ABM, PKBM, and CBM. Some captive breeding was successful other were not. Some mice were reintroduced back to the wild. However, due to the high cost of lab rearing and the difficulty of obtaining adequate numbers of wild mice and reintroduction back to the wild the program was discontinued in the early 1990s. In 2007 a captive breeding feasibility meeting was held. Assessment has been made that recovery actions should not focus on captive options.
