Principle Investigators: Jason Lauritsen and A. Larry Bryan, Jr. Project Start Date: October, 2006 Funding Agency: Department of the Interior (DOI) Critical Ecosystem Studies Initiative (CESI)
Identify important wood stork foraging areas and document potential temporal shifts in site use through the season. Compare these foraging areas to those documented by Browder in the mid-1970's. Assess the temporal availability of each foraging site relative to local and regional hydrologic conditions. Develop a methodology to prioritize wetlands protection and restoration efforts for wood storks within the Big Cypress region. Project staff: Bill Bessmer and Alex Mason are assisting as Field Technicians for the 2006-2007 season. Media articles:
