Louisiana Technical Assistance Activities

Paul Link (M.S. student; Afton) prepares to release a radio-marked gadwall. Paul's study provided important information about gadwall movements and survival in southwestern Louisiana.

Unit Scientists provide many forms of assistance and service to a diversity of user groups including universities, state and federal agencies, and non-governmental organizations. Service activities include: serving as science advisors or on committees appointed to deal with natural resource issues, providing technical field input to natural resource managers, serving on graduate student committees, holding positions within various scientific professional societies, and on various university service committees.
