  • Develop a Species Management Strategy for the Anastasia Island Beach Mouse at Fort Matanzas National Monument, Florida

    The Anastasia Island beach mouse (AIBM) (Peromyscus polionotus phasma) is a subspecies of oldfield mouse. It is currently found only on Anastasia Island, a 14-mile long barrier island in Florida. Its population is largely relegated to two remaining natural preserves – Anastasia State Park at the north end of the island, and Fort Matanzas National Monument (FMNM) at the southern end. Both parks preserve remnants of coastal sand dune ecosystems, the primary habitat required by AIBM. Due to its highly restricted range and vulnerability to hurricanes and coastal development, the subspecies is listed as endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This project will assess the current condition and extent of potential AIBM habitat at FMNM, and develop a species management strategy for AIBM that will include short and long-term management actions that can be implemented and sustained by park staff without causing unacceptable impacts to other park resources.

  • Inventory reptile and amphibian species present at Minute Man National Historical Park (MIMA), Morristown National Historical Park (MORR) and Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site (SAIR)

    Minute Man National Historical Park (MIMA), Morristown National Historical Park (MORR) and Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site (SAIR) need an inventory of reptile and amphibian species of interest to document current reptile and amphibian population status within the parks. This inventory is needed to inform invasive species management, restoration/dredging and trail maintenance management actions at the parks.  Rare species have been noted in two of the parks (MIMA and MORR).

  • Inventory smelt at Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site to Inform Consultation Prior to Dredging

    Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site (SAIR) needs an inventory of smelt and other fish species of interest to document current fish population status in the Saugus River within the park and evaluate use of known rainbow smelt spawning habitat. Comparison of current populations and habitat use to a previous study in the Turning Basin (2007) is desired. This inventory is a requirement for consultation with the Massachusetts Division of Fish and Wildlife and for NEPA compliance as the park prepares to dredge contaminated sediment from the Turning Basin.
