SUMMARY:U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Avian Radar Decision Support Tool - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) with funding from Great Lakes Restoration Initiative\, implemented the Avian Radar Project to better understand bird and bat activity throughout the Great Lakes Basin. The Service collected radar and bat acoustic data during spring and fall from 2011 – 2018\, identifying areas that are predicted to have high migratory bird and bat use. This data was used to create predicted activity maps that have been incorporated into a decision support tool (DST). The Great Lakes Airspace Map DST allows users to overlay bird and bat activity maps with other publically available or project maps to help resource managers\, agencies\, and funders make on-the-ground natural resource decisions. In this webinar we present the Great Lakes Airspace Map DST and demonstrate its use for conservation decisions. \nEvent website: https://www.fws.gov/radar/index.html\nContact: Jennifer White\, Biologist\, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service\nEmail: jennifer_white@fws.gov\nPhone: (612) 258-8734

SUMMARY:Freshwater Science: Health Impacts of Algal Toxins in the Context of Chronic Illness
DESCRIPTION:Algal toxins affect the liver\, gastrointestinal system and kidneys\, and may have a more severe effect in the context of pre-existing conditions. \nDr. David Kennedy and Dr. Steven Haller at The University of Toledo\, with funding from Ohio Sea Grant and the Harmful Algal Bloom Research Initiative\, are examining these effects to help provide new guidelines for safe exposure levels to algal toxins for people with chronic illnesses. They also aim to develop new tests that can measure toxin exposure at very low levels\, which can suppress common liver injury markers in some patients\, and to create therapies to treat the organ damage caused by algal toxins. \nEvent website: https://ohioseagrant.osu.edu/news/calendar/2022/03/31/1xijz/freshwater-science\nContact: Christina Dierkes\nEmail: dierkes.10@osu.edu
