In karst areas there is an inherent connectivity between surface streams and groundwater resources, thus activities which occur in these areas can influence the quality and quantity of groundwater. The Calfkiller River in central Tennessee drains the western escarpment of the Cumberland Plateau and is one of the densest areas of karst development in the state. The perennial flow of the Calfkiller River is supplied by karst springs which create conditions suitable for two endangered species, the Cumberland pigtoe mussel and the bluemask darter fish. Both species are reliant on clear, freeflowing, high-quality headwater streams as their primary habitat. The bluemask darter has been extirpated from the Calfkiller River,...
The frosted elfin butterfly, Callophrys irus, experienced a range-wide data gap where most populations had not been surveyed in over a decade, and many populations were believed extirpated due to a variety of external pressures (USFWS 2018). In 2019, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), in cooperation with American Conservation Experience and with support from States, collected data on a significant portion of the range of C. irus, which extends from Ontario to Florida, and west to Texas and Wisconsin (Albanese et. al. 2007). In response, the Science Support Partnership Request for Proposals has identified a need to analyze these data to look for trends that identify ‘habitat parameters that are important...
Problem statement: Groundwater is an important source of freshwater for human populations worldwide, and management of this resource typically is focused on ensuring quality and quantity for human use. Many aquatic systems receive groundwater as a portion of base water flow, and in some systems (e.g., springs, seepages, subterranean streams, fens) the connection with groundwater is significant and important to the system’s integrity and persistence. Groundwater management decisions for human use often do not consider ecological effects of those actions on groundwater dependent ecosystems (GDEs), which rely on groundwater to maintain ecological function (Brown et al. 2010, USDA 2012). This disconnect between management...
Bycatch is the incidental mortality or injury in fisheries operations. Many seabirds are proficient swimmers, some diving many tens of meters in pursuit of fish (Brierley and Fernandes 2001, Regular et al. 2013). Diving seabirds swim into, become entangled and drown in fine nylon mesh gill nets due to their lack of visibility. This problem is often exacerbated at dawn and dusk when birds are most actively feeding and when nets are hardest to see (Melvin et al. 1999). The North American Waterbird Conservation Plan identifies fisheries bycatch as a serious threat to at least 17 species of seabirds in the Mid-Atlantic/New England/Maritimes, and Southeastern regions, an area including all U.S. Atlantic waters (Kushlan...

Products from this SSP project consisted of a large amount of GIS data, analysis, and maps. There were shared GIS personnel for FWS served by this SSP project that generated lots of maps and direct services.

This SSP project contributed to production of two reports and two publications. Pallid sturgeon Scaphirhynchus albus were captured from the Atchafalaya River System and implanted with ultrasonic transmitters and tracked with mobile receivers and sentinel (constantly recording) receivers to understand habitat use and movements.
