This public, half-day symposium aims to communicate recent research, discuss conservation needs, and demonstrate monitoring approaches related to this remarkable fish.
The symposium will consist of short presentations in the morning followed by breakout discussion sessions, and a field demonstration of sampling protocols for mudminnow in the afternoon. Presentations will convey the current state of knowledge related to Olympic mudminnow, including distribution, habitat associations, and conservation and threats. We will then have two rounds of topical breakout discussions focused on three topics: (1) Critical knowledge gaps and research needs, (2) Management and conservation challenges on private and public lands, and (3) Raising the profile of mudminnow: Teaching, Communication, and Art; where attendees can choose to participate in two out of the three topics. The discussion groups will be charged with coming up and framing the “Top-10 Priority Questions” for the coming years.
Attendees can also opt to attend a field demonstration after lunch (from 1-2:30 pm) to learn recommended sampling and monitoring protocols at nearby Green Cove (about a 10-minute walk or short drive).
