Smithsonian showcases SREL wood stork project
The article profiles Larry Bryan of the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory at Savannah River Site as a lone driver of wood stork conservation in the Southeast. It notes a Smithsonian magazine February 2001 cover story that boosted worldwide attention to his long running work with about 6 000 nesting pairs in the tri state area and the EPA and DOE driven origins of the program. Bryan recalls starting in 1984 after Clemson training and Fort Bragg work, detailing how the storks' foraging in a reactor cooling waterway led to a conservation plan that has stabilized numbers from a low around 3 000 to roughly 5 000 then levelling off. The piece emphasizes limited staff and interns, the role of DOE consultation with Fish and Wildlife, and the potential yet uncertain push for funding spurred by the Smithsonian feature.
