The US Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a cooperative agreement for a CESU-affiliated partner. This grant is for the purpose of conducting vital research in Puerto Rico, focusing on detecting and mapping wetland vegetation, including specific plants like Sagittaria lancifolia. This work will directly contribute to crucial habitat predictions and the Gap Analysis of the endangered Llanero Coqui (Eleutherodactylus juanariveroi), a species of frog. This department’s initiative aims to advance methods for analyzing wetland species within the US Caribbean, enhancing national Gap Analysis products. Ultimately, this research will specifically support ongoing management and restoration efforts for the endangered Llanero Coqui, aiding its long-term survival.
