This is wildlife/hydrology monitoring for estuarine restoration, which is not IPPRA’s core social-behavioral, risk-perception, policy, or evaluation portfolio. The team could at most be tangentially relevant through broader environment-related interests, but no roster member has a direct program in crocodile ecology or hydrologic restoration monitoring.
