Description
This proposal outlines a feasibility assessment for the eradication of invasive norway rats from monomoy national wildlife refuge which is a critical habitat for several threatened and endangered seabird species in massachusetts. The presence of rats was confirmed in 2023 and poses a significant threat to native wildlife. The greatest threat is to nesting birds such as common terns and piping plovers. Island conservation in collaboration with the U.S. Fish and wildlife service will evaluate the technical approach with highest probability of success. We will identify alternate technical approaches and assess important additional factors related to the feasibility of the potential project. The assessment will be informed by existing literature and include a site visit and engaging with staff and local stakeholders. The final deliverable will be a comprehensive feasibility assessment to guide future conservation actions at monomoy national wildlife refuge with the goal of restoring ecological balance and protecting vulnerable species.
