North Carolina Technical Assistance Activities

King Rail are a priority management species for the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Through a study on this species, NC Unit researchers are piloting methods to step down population and habitat management objectives for these and other data-limited species using Bayesian belief network models.

As part of our mission, NC Unit scientists routinely provide technical assistance to cooperators, colleagues, and the public, ranging from data analysis support, GIS mapping, workshops, and consultations on a variety of natural resource issues. For example, North Carolina Unit scientists provide assistance with stock assessments for the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries, strategic habitat planning for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and serve on the non-game advisory committee for the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. They conduct workshops and training for natural resource professionals and serve as expert panelists and witnesses on a variety of topics.
