		Because of grebes' sensitivity to changes in the trophic webs of wetland ecosystems, grebes could be used as indicators of such changes, and as symbols of the struggle to restore these ecosystems.
		Furthermore, by indicating how grebe populations are influenced by changes in the trophic webs of wetlands, it highlights the potential importance of demographic data on grebes in monitoring the health of these ecosystems.
		Grebes may be particularly useful as bioindicators for the planning of wetland management in the western Palearctic, Manchuria, western North America, southern South America, and the Andes.

	CT DEP: Pied-billed Grebe Fact Sheet
		Range: The pied-billed grebe ranges from British Columbia east to Nova Scotia and south throughout the United States wherever habitat is suitable.
		It is fairly common for the pied-billed grebe to have 2 sets of chicks a year.
		Since the nesting activities of the pied-billed grebe are often difficult to survey and monitor, any confirmed nests should be reported to the Wildlife Division to help increase our knowledge of the activities of these birds in Connecticut.
