Mammal Deterrence Unit. ‌ The Mammal Deterrence Unit is responsible for determining if and when mammal deterrence operations should take place.

Deterrence activities, observations, and results are to be reported to the Mammal Recovery and Rehabilitation Group Supervisor, who will report to the Wildlife Branch Director and the Planning Section’s Environmental Unit Leader.
