NFWF Grant Profile

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in conjunction with the Gulf Coast Bird Observatory, will repair 4 Motus Wildlife Tracking System towers that were erected with a NFWF Gulf Coast Conservation Grant. This system is a coordinated hemispheric tracking system for all migratory bird species whose purpose is to facilitate landscape-scale research and education on the ecology and conservation of migratory animals. Funds are needed to replace or repair broken masts and antennas and the coaxial cable that runs between the antennas and the sensorgnome box.
