No report for this QR project is available at this time. This project initially set out to expose snakeheads and flathead catfish (2 invasive fishes) to electric fields in a controlled laboratory study. This turned out to be not feasible for two reasons. Permits to hold the right species of snakeheads on campus could not be obtained, and flathead catfish of appropriate sizes that had not been previously exposed to electric fields (i.e., not captured by electrofishing) could not be attained. The objectives (and timeline) were revised to focus on food web relations for snakeheads and flathead catfish, specifically: (a) Determine trophic level and sources of prey for northern snakeheads collected from the Potomac...

Lake Sturgeon reintroduction efforts in the Coosa River began 20 years ago. Research conducted 3-5 years after the first stocking occurred indicated that recruits from each year class were surviving and growing. However, total survival of initial stockings was low, and few Lake Sturgeon have been collected by Georgia DNR in subsequent years. Only 88 Lake Sturgeon have been captured since 2008 from over 313,000 fry that have been collectively stocked into the system. This project will inform fisheries managers on the overall success of the reintroduction program by estimating the total population size, determining survival rates, characterizing the age structure, quantifying growth and condition, determining habitat...
Migratory shorebirds and seabirds are under persistent and significant threats throughout their annual cycle from habitat loss from sea level rise and coastal development as well as the threat of human disturbance and predation. Much of the coastal areas in Florida are highly sought after for recreation posing potential conflicts between conservation and human use. We are proposing to develop a novel approach to conservation by working with public and private landowners to identify constraints they have to providing for the needs of migratory birds on an annual basis. A successful model of a county park in Florida that reserves a mere 300 meters of beach for ‘shorebird habitat’ year-round. We will take the information...
Conversion from lead to non-toxic ammunition and tackle is controversial and contentious despite scientific evidence of harmful environmental effects (e.g., TWS Technical Report). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S. Geological Survey Cooperative Research Units Program will pilot and assess a voluntary approach to non-toxic conversion on targeted National Wildlife Refuges. We will design a study that will examine the human dimensions associated with transferring to non-toxic ammunition. Key stakeholders (managers, hunters, local conservationists, refuge associations) will be engaged in these surveys. Specifically, we will (1) identify specific refuge pilot locations and approach (modeled after the work being...
