I am looking for a collaborator who can help analyze my data

I’m looking for someone interested and knowledgeable about quirky population index data to help me here. i am working with a turtle data set collected last summer. I sent techs to 75-80 marsh sites around Long Island and at each site they followed a standardized protocol and collected 100-200 mud snails. we know that mud snails are secondary hosts for a trematode parasite for which terrapins are the primary hosts. snail infection rates are easily determined visually as external cysts, and cyst counts have been shown elsewhere to be correlated with the size of the local terrapin population. For now, we have lots of snail and cyst counts for lots of locations. For many locations they have two collections from two time points, so there's repeat data.
For all of these sites the techs also did visual surveys, they went out into the marshes in kayaks following a standardized protocol and counted the terrapins they saw.
These are unusual data sources and i want to make the most use of them possible. we have data from the same sites using two different measurement approaches. we have multiple collections from the same site. we also have data from mark-recaptures work at four of these sites. there is a reasonable possibility that we maybe able to collect a second year of data.
I am looking for a collaborator to help me analyze these data. I am not certainly handing over analysis totally, but I don't have time to learn a whole new field of analysis, so i am looking for someone already knowledgeable and skilled who wants to co-author publications.
I have questions like...can we rank the relative sizes of the terrapin populations at these sites with some confidence? how much agreement are there between the different techniques? is there a relationship between the terrapin pop estimates and marsh size? etc.
