Vermont Technical Assistance Activities

Kiley Briggs from USFWS is collaborating with the Vermont Unit on mudpuppy research.

As part of our mission, each of the Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit scientists routinely provides technical assistance ranging from data analysis support, GIS mapping, workshops, and consultations on a variety of natural resource issues.

Vermont Unit scientists serve as scientific advisors to the Fisheries Subcommittee of the Lake Champlain Fish and Wildlife Management Cooperative, serve on the Lake Champlain Alternative Sea Lamprey Control Workgroup, and collaborate with the National Conservation Training Center to offer courses for wildlife and fisheries professionals. The Vermont Unit also offers assistance on ecological data analysis through the Spreadsheet Project, which provides tutorials on occupancy modeling, capture-mark-recapture analysis, and introductory modeling in ecology, evolution, and conservation biology.

Our recent efforts are outlined below....
