Greetings IEP Community,
Last year, the Predation Project Work Team (PWT) rebooted a Predation Project Tracker. The objective of the tracker is to share predation-related projects in the region, to promote complementary efforts and collaboration, and to provide a resource for researchers and managers who are interested in project design, methods, or results.
The tracker consists of a voluntary project submission form that people who lead predation-related projects in the region can share information about their projects. In our first year, a total of 12 projects were entered into the Tracker and posted on the Predation PWT web page.
As planned, we are sending an annual reminder to update existing projects or submit new predation-related projects. If you previously submitted a project and have any changes or updates, please complete the project submission form. If you have a new project to submit, use the same form. If you know of someone else who leads a predation project, please share this message or the form link. The form is largely multiple choice with a few short answer questions, with an average completion time of under 15 minutes.
Please be aware that form submissions will be posted publicly, except for email addresses. Please submit your revised or new predation-related projects by the end of October, although the form will remain open at all times for new projects or to update already-entered projects.
In early November, we will post the updated list of predation projects on the Predation PWT web page.
Questions may be addressed to Geoff Steinhart (geoffrey_steinhart@fws.gov).
Thanks,
Geoff Steinhart and Tyler Pilger
