Project Description
This Project will use aerial photographic nest surveys and nest dotting analyses to determine Monitoring and Adaptive Management (MAM) priorities for colonial waterbird restoration in Louisiana: (1) address significant informational needs (e.g. relative abundance, diversity, distribution trends and breeding status) that will facilitate Trustees ability to evaluate restoration effectiveness; (2) address potential uncertainties related to restoration planning and implementation, and (3) provide feedback to inform future colonial waterbird restoration decisions.
