http://www2.dnr.cornell.edu/hdru/pubs/HDRU%2013_5%202012%20limits%20and%20priorities%20survey%0report.pdf The Human Dimensions Research Unit at Cornell University published a report based on a two year study of state fish and wildlife agencies’ capacity to detect and respond to fish and wildlife disease threats. The report was funded by the Multistate Conservation Grant Program administered by the Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies, and sponsored by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The authors of the report developed four steps to increase the capacity of state fish and wildlife agencies for detecting pathogens and improving fish and wildlife health programs: strengthening interagency relationships, securing resources necessary for program administration, developing communication and decision-making processes, and cultivating and maintaining public trust in state fish and wildlife agencies. Application of these steps will address factors such as inadequate funding, staffing, and public support that limit state agencies’ efforts on disease management tactics.
