Agency Name:	National Park Service
Description:	The Recipient is a member of the Great Plains Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit who was awarded a Master Cooperative Agreement P16AC00011allowing Oklahoma State University to participate in specific tasks, and can provide the necessary activities involved in this particular task while providing an effective outcome for NPS and the objectives of this research/educational project. Oklahoma State University and Dr. James M. Long are uniquely qualified to research, evaluate, and develop appropriate mitigation protocols for the Asian Swamp Eel at the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. Dr. Long and his team possess both the subject matter knowledge and research skills to work in the complex ecosystem of the Chattahoochee River. Dr. Long’s experience working in the watershed and singular knowledge of the species are an asset to the project. This project supports the study of an invasive fish species, Asian Swamp Eel (Monopterus albus) that occurs adjacent to and within management boundaries of Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (CRNRA). The NPS manages, protects, and interprets the biota and landscape of the Chattahoochee River corridor and the Asian Swamp Eel is an invasive species that threatens the resources essential to the purposes of the park. Working with state and non-federal partners, this project will assess the invasion extent and reproduction-emigration potential of this species at CRNRA.
