Pamela_Loring@fws.gov

Pam joined the ACJV in 2025 and is based at the USFWS Rhode Island Field Office in Charlestown, RI. As the North Atlantic coordinator, she works with partners from Maine to Virginia to advance migratory bird habitat conservation and provide regional support for USFWS grant programs (North American Wetlands Conservation Act, National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grants, Great Lakes Restoration Initiative). Pam joined the USFWS in 2011 as a SCEP student in the Southern New England Coastal Program and has worked in the Migratory Birds program since 2013. Pam’s work is rooted in applied, collaborative science. She has led and supported large-scale avian tracking studies throughout the Western Hemisphere, collaborated with interdisciplinary teams to advance bird monitoring technologies, and helped guide cooperative conservation efforts for shorebirds across the Atlantic Flyway. Pam has a Ph.D. in Environmental Conservation and a B.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries Conservation from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a M.S. in Biological and Environmental Sciences from the University of Rhode Island.

Craig Faulhaber joined the ACJV team in January 2023. Craig’s primary activities include working with partners to conserve high priority bird species – with particular emphasis on the Black Rail – in the South Atlantic region. Craig will also be assisting partners with USFWS grant programs (e.g., NAWCA and National Coastal Wetlands Conservation grants). Before joining the ACJV, Craig spent 14 years with the Save Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, where he worked with partners on conservation actions and policy development for birds and other imperiled species. In this role, Craig was active on the ACJV Technical Committee and Black Rail Working Group. He received a Master’s degree in Wildlife Science from Texas A&M University and a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from Wittenberg University.

Maureen (Mo) Correll
Maureen (Mo) Correll is an avian ecologist with a strong background in spatial analysis and regional collaborative science. Mo grew up in Conway, Massachusetts and attended the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia for her undergraduate work. She spent seven years working seasonally before returning to graduate school at the University of Maine. Her doctoral work focused on measuring population trends for the saltmarsh sparrow and other tidal marsh specialist species from Maine to Virginia through the Saltmarsh Habitat and Avian Research Program (SHARP). Her postdoctoral work, also with SHARP, focused on remote sensing of tidal marshes, resulting in a comprehensive spatial layer of vegetation communities along the northeastern coastline. Mo then moved to Fort Collins, Colorado to work at Bird Conservancy of the Rockies first as a landscape ecologist, and later as Research Director, leading regional science to understand grassland bird decline in the Great Plains and Chihuahuan Desert. She is very excited to return to western Massachusetts to continue her work conserving tidal marsh birds through collaborative science and conservation! Mo will be moving back east with her family consisting of her husband Brian, young daughter Elliott, and canine buddy Dr. Rosco.

Kirsten Luke has been with the Joint Venture since 2006 primarily focused on GIS mapping and spatial analyses that support many JV and partner projects and outreach materials. She brings dedicated capacity to the ACJV to obtain, develop, manage, and maintain geographic information systems (GIS) and other databases needed by ACJV staff and partners for effective biological planning, conservation design, monitoring and research, habitat delivery, accomplishment reporting, and evaluation.

Recent Projects include: ArcGIS Online and Story Maps; assisting ACJV and Black Duck JV to develop a decision support tool to inform non-breeding habitat delivery goals for the American Black Duck; and maintains and modifies AMAPPS aerial survey transects as needed and supports efforts to develop aerial survey transects for re-designed mid-winter waterfowl survey and provides GIS support for the Integrated Waterbird Management & Monitoring Project.
