Assessing sustainable lethal take for great blue heron in the northeastern United States
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.We used Prescribed Take Level (PTL) models to estimate sustainable take limits for great blue heron and aid depredation permitting decisions by the USFWS in the northeastern United States. The PTL models suggested that current lethal take levels are sustainable and that cumulative authorized regional take should not exceed 2,650 individuals per year ...
