Western Ecosystems Technology, Inc. (WEST)
Jennifer Stucker is a senior research biologist and serves as the offshore wind lead for WEST.
She manages pre- and post-construction monitoring at terrestrial and offshore facilities and assists clients and agencies in designing novel – but practical – approaches for unusual natural resource and wildlife assessment challenges which integrate ecology, animal behavior, and technology to evaluate fine-scale to landscape-scale impacts. Dr. Stucker has also directed work in the onshore and offshore environments in the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes and the US Atlantic Coast and Gulf coasts. Some of Dr. Stucker’s particular specialty areas include species at the aquatic-terrestrial interface, waterbird and shorebird ecology, resource management decision making, objective based verification studies, and project compliance with the U.S. Endangered Species Act.
