This grant is for the purpose of enhancing the removal and surveillance of Argentine Black and White Tegus in the Everglades Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area, particularly in southern Miami-Dade and northern Monroe Counties. The project aims to improve trapping efforts and maximize tegu removal from core areas, crucial for protecting valued ecological resources. Objectives include evaluating tegu population response to control activities and designing a robust surveillance and monitoring program to prevent further spread. This initiative is vital for assessing exclusion efforts’ effectiveness and safeguarding the delicate Everglades ecosystem from this invasive species.
