Required Information for New Jersey Recognized, Qualified Indiana Bat and Northern Long-Eared Bat Surveyors

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service does not "certify" bat surveyors but, as a service to project proponents who may need to conduct surveys for listed bat species, we maintain a list of individuals (not companies, firms, agencies, etc.) who we have found to be qualified to conduct bat surveys. Qualified surveyors are responsible for obtaining a State Scientific Collecting Permit from the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife and all other permits, licenses, or authorizations required by Federal, State, or local authorities. To be considered for our list of recognized, qualified bat surveyors, submit a written request and provide the required information.
