200 nautical miles from land or half the distance to a neighboring country,
whichever is less. Excluded by these boundaries are Bermuda, the Bahamas,
Hawaii, and Greenland." Participation in submitting this total is limited to
those who have a claim to at least part time residence in Wisconsin.

biking, canoeing, etc. from this central location. Any species found with the
aid of a motorized form of transportation are not countable.
5. County Life Totals (threshold 125). For any county in which one has found
125 or more species, enter the name of the county followed by the number of
species found.
