The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has awarded a $531,636 federal Project Grant under the Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance program (CFDA 15.608) to Central Michigan University to assess native mussel populations and habitat conditions in the lower reaches of tributaries to Lake Michigan. The 4-year project aims to 1) determine the status and threats to unionid mussels, 2) evaluate the predictive power of existing habitat models for identifying refuges, and 3) make management...
This federal Cooperative Agreement award for $108,388.00, provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the USGS Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808), supports a research project to investigate the relationship between ice cover and water movement at fish spawning reefs in Lake Erie. The objective is to observe the effects of ice cover on currents, waves, and bottom stress at one or two spawning reefs, across a range of environmental conditions, over two winter field seasons....
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the USGS Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808) provides $113,828 to the University of Michigan to advance understanding of species relationships of Great Lakes prey fish (coregonines) and support the conservation and restoration of native fish populations. The key activities include: 1) Evaluating spatial and temporal diversity in wild stocks of coregonines using restriction-site associated DNA...
This $260,079 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Park Service (NPS) under the Natural Resource Stewardship program (CFDA 15.944) supports research and monitoring to better understand how changes in Lake Michigan, such as invasive species and climate change, are impacting the ecosystem. The main objectives are to monitor the chemistry and biota of Lake Michigan to assess how invasive quagga mussels and round gobies may be altering the food web and promoting nuisance algal growth....
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) under the Fish and Aquatic Conservation - Aquatic Invasive Species program (CFDA 15.608) provides $200,000 to Michigan Technological University to assist FWS in utilizing data from their lakebed observing technologies. The key objectives are to: 1) develop image enhancement algorithms for underwater vehicle imagery, 2) transfer the completed algorithms and code to FWS for use with their autonomous underwater...
This $442,568 Project Grant award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance program (CFDA 15.608) will fund a study conducted by the University of Wisconsin System to better understand the movements and spatial distributions of lake whitefish stocks in the Great Lakes region. The research aims to determine: 1) the proportion of lake whitefish spawning in the Big Bay de Noc (BBDN) area that return to spawn there annually, 2) seasonal residency patterns of...
The University of Toledo received a $120,214 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey (CFDA 15.808 - USGS Research and Data Collection program) to evaluate the impact of climate change on fish populations in Lake Erie. The research project aims to develop Bayesian hierarchical models analyzing long-term data on weather, water conditions, and fish recruitment in Lake Erie. Key deliverables include scientific publications, a PhD dissertation chapter, and a GitHub repository with...
This $649,942 cooperative agreement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 will fund research at Michigan State University to assess potential impacts of splake introgression on brook trout and lake trout populations in Lake Superior. As part of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the research team will conduct genomic sequencing on wild-caught brook trout and lake trout to determine if splake introgression is occurring and identify locations where it may be impacting the native...
This Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Fish and Aquatic Conservation - Aquatic Invasive Species program (CFDA 15.608) will support habitat mapping and lake sturgeon habitat selection research in the Manistee and Muskegon Rivers of Michigan. The $413,667 grant will fund efforts to: 1) map instream habitat characteristics and develop habitat suitability indices to assess the reliability of existing lake sturgeon habitat models for Great Lakes tributaries, 2)...
This Project Grant award of $557,072.00 from the U.S. Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) supports research to investigate the effects of hydrodynamic forces on invasive zebra mussel populations. The funded project, titled "Go With the Flow: Hydrodynamic Resilience to Invasive Mussels", will conduct laboratory, field, and computational studies to quantify relationships between water current, wave action,...
