Dogs are being trained to protect aquatic ecosystems, particularly from aquatic nuisance species, around the world. Executive director of Working Dogs for Conservation, Pete Coppolillo, Ph.D., will share how dogs have been able to detect invasive plants and animals, and span the continuum from early detection to mapping and containing infestations, to eradication, with examples from around the United States. He’ll also share some unanticipated benefits of working with dogs, along with pictures and stories from the field.
