Exposure of bald eagle nestlings to contaminants on National Park Service lands with the Chesapeake Bay
The Center for Conservation Biology, College of William and Mary, Virginia Commonwealth University. 2018. Exposure of bald eagle nestlings to contaminants on National Park Service lands with the Chesapeake Bay
The primary objectives of this project are 1) to assess exposure of nestling eagles reared within and around National Park Service properties within the lower Chesapeake Bay to contaminants (heavy metals, legacy classes of organochlorine compounds, Polybrominated diphenyl ethers, etc.) and 2) to compare reproductive rates of pairs within and around parks to the populations within the estuarine systems (James River, York River, Potomac River) in which they are embedded.
