Alicia Wassmer Alligator Biologist

Wildlife agencies in all 11 southeastern states where American alligators live, including the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, have launched GatorWise, an outreach initiative that provides information to the public on avoiding human-alligator conflicts and living responsibly with alligators. North Carolina is the northern-most region of the American alligator’s range in the U.S. Alligators are native to many southeastern United States wetlands and are critical to the health and balance of these ecosystems. Alicia Wassmer, Alligator biologist with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss GatorWise.
