RESEARCH OVERVIEW:

The primary goal of my research is to evaluate genetic tools as biological measures of stream-crossing barrier improvement effectiveness.  Natural resource agency personnel can use these tools to prioritize sites for     improving passage of aquatic organisms within a watershed and for long-term monitoring of fish diversity goals.

GOAL 1: To evaluate whether stream-crossings that are barriers to fish movement influence genetic diversity of fish populations.

OBJECTIVE 1: To establish indicators of reduced genetic diversity for brook trout populations that can be associated with stream-crossing improvement projects.

GOAL 2: To investigate risks to brook trout populations posed by        identified threats.

OBJECTIVE 2: To apply a risk model for brook trout populations that     includes genetic diversity.

GOAL 3: To develop prioritization tools for stream-crossing improvement projects.

OBJECTIVE 3: To develop a tool for prioritization of stream-crossing     improvement projects that includes risk factors to brook trout populations.
