The hypothesis was that anglers interacting with brown pelicans led to entanglements that often injured or killed the birds. Four years of research and one publication later, Fairl Thomas \u201922 and Eckerd College Professor of Environmental Science and Biology Beth Forys, Ph.D.<\/a>, know that\u2019s not the whole truth.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\u201cThe Role of Fishing Piers in Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis<\/em>) Entanglement\u201d\u2014published Sept. 8 in Animals<\/em><\/a>, an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal devoted entirely to animals\u2014identified pier design as the likely culprit in nearly 7% of brown pelican entanglements that happen annually.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fishermen didn\u2019t really want to interact with the birds,\u201d says Thomas, who completed this research before graduating from Eckerd last May. \u201cWhen we surveyed them and observed the interactions, we found that the highest incidences of entanglement in Tampa Bay happened at piers that had perches built nearby.\u201d<\/p>\n

It may be those ringside seats to the fishing action that lure brown pelicans to fly under piers, Forys explains. The paper suggests removing perch areas or having a no-fishing zone on piers with high entanglement rates as a possible solution to a deadly problem. Fort De Soto Park<\/a> already limits pier access for anglers to certain times of the year. If that produces a reduction in entanglements, the research will be further validated\u2014-an extraordinary r\u00e9sum\u00e9 point for a recent college graduate.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”9060″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text]A juvenile brown pelican tangled in braided line; the entanglement was so tight that it caused lacerations on the elbow of the left wing.

Thomas, who now works as a ranger at Homosassa Springs State Park, credits the College with encouraging her passions and supporting her academic journey.<\/p>\n

The Safety Harbor, Florida, native interned at the Seabird Sanctuary<\/a>, founded the Save Our Seabirds Club<\/a> on campus and worked on the brown pelican research with the help of Forys and a $2,500 grant from St. Petersburg and Tampa Audubon Societies. In her senior year, a Wildlife Rehabilitation course with Visiting Professor of Biology and veterinarian Ray Ball<\/a> took her on a field trip to Homosassa Springs State Park, where she met her current supervisor.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ bottom_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”lg_text” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]\u201cI know it\u2019s in that book Colleges That Change Lives<\/em><\/a>, but Eckerd really does change lives,\u201d Thomas admits. \u201cGetting involved in bird research my freshman year changed my path and led me to my dream job.\u201d<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ bottom_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Among her responsibilities at the park are acting as caretaker and keeper to a captive animal population that includes Florida panthers, birds of prey, black bears and 62-year-old Lou, the\u00a0world\u2019s oldest hippo.<\/p>\n

Forys says being a published researcher is a product of Thomas\u2019s commitment prior to and after graduation. She had weekly meetings with Thomas for six months to complete a draft, and Thomas also went as far as to share her work with other faculty across disciplines\u2014including her Nonprofit Management instructor, Professor of Management Frank Hamilton, Ph.D.<\/a>, and Associate Professor of Environmental Studies Hilary Flower, Ph.D.<\/a><\/p>\n
