Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Units Program: South Carolina
Education, Research and Technical Assistance for Managing Our Natural Resources

South Carolina Research Activities

The SC Unit conducts research on Brown Pelicans and other nearshore seabirds in the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean

The Cooperative Research Units Program conducts research related to fish, wildlife, and natural resource management. The programs offer Federal and State agencies access not only to unit scientists, but also to university expertise and facilities available at each of the 40 cooperating universities. Most research projects are carried out by graduate students participating with and/or under the direction of unit or other university scientists.

Research expertise at the SC Unit includes include ecology and conservation of aquatic, terrestrial, and marine wildlife, aquatic ecology, foraging ecology, functional ecology, conservation physiology, movement ecology, spatial ecology, and human-wildlife interactions.
