NYSDEC will prepare the fish tissue...
- This Project Grant award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Fish and Aquatic Conservation - Aquatic Invasive Species program (CFDA 15.608) will support a 4-year, $474,980.22 research project at the University of Wisconsin System to investigate walleye recruitment and dispersal patterns in Green Bay, Lake Michigan. The key objectives are to: 1) determine if walleye spawning in northern Green Bay disperse significantly from their tagging locations, 2) assess if walleye spawning in...
- This $220,740.24 Project Grant from the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 will fund research to determine genetic stock structure and diversity among Lake Superior walleye spawning aggregates. The research team from eight state, provincial, federal, and tribal agencies representing Lake Superior waters will apply high-resolution genomic tools to quantify genetic differentiation among known spawning sites and identify mixed stock contributions throughout the lake...
- 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, provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Geographic Programs - Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (CFDA 66.469), will fund the Wyoming County Soil & Water Conservation District to restore and stabilize 2.5 acres of stream corridor habitat along Tonawanda Creek in Attica, NY. The $490,328 award will support activities such as final engineering designs, permitting, restoration implementation, native vegetation planting, and invasive species...
- This Project Grant award, totaling $260,000, was provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (CFDA 15.662) federal grant program. The goal of this collaborative project is to advance and support interjurisdictional aquatic invasive species (AIS) surveillance efforts for the Great Lakes region. Key products and services to be delivered include: Refinement of the inland lakes site prioritization system for AIS surveillance, including a white paper...
- 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...
- This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service (under CFDA Program 15.608 - Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance) provides $329,464.74 to the University of Wisconsin System to study brook trout habitats and movements in Minnesota's Lake Superior tributary streams. The research aims to: 1) determine seasonal habitat use and movements of brook trout, brown trout, and steelhead trout; 2) assess habitat overlap and competition between native brook...
- The EPA Region 5 awarded a $4,845,782 Project Grant under the Geographic Programs - Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (CFDA 66.469) to the Great Lakes Fishery Commission. The grant will fund four priority projects to control invasive species and support the planning and implementation of restoration programs to aid in the recovery of native fish in the Great Lakes ecosystem. Key activities include field testing supplemental sea lamprey control tactics, designing and constructing a new sea...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Geographic Programs - Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (CFDA 66.469), provides $347,160 to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to identify critical spawning habitat for walleye, lake trout, and lake whitefish along New York's Lake Erie shoreline. The project involves capturing, tagging, and tracking the movement of these three species using acoustic telemetry in order to inform the development of priority management areas that support the Lakewide Action and Management Plan. The anticipated deliverables include public engagement, professional meeting presentations, and at least one peer-reviewed publication, with the expected outcome of informing agency decisions regarding critical spawning habitat protection and rehabilitation, as well as multiple lake-wide species-specific management plans. The award period is from August 1, 2025 to March 31, 2029.
