"No-Risk" Assessment

Some of you have noticed that the list of mimimum requirements for your species reports includes "Risk Assessment." Originally I was going to have you do a risk assessment for your species in class, but because we ended up working on the pathways risk assessment instead, we will no longer be doing that. If someone's already done one for your species, do report the results, but you are not required to complete your own. Don't forget, though, that you should conclude your report with a discussion of whether your species is a threat to Massachusetts or the water off our coast.
