The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) will receive $600,000 under a five-year Project Grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to support marine research surveys of Chinook and chum salmon from the Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim region of Alaska. The funding will help ADF&G co-lead the longstanding Northern Bering Sea survey with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration through June 2028. This survey is critical for forecasting Yukon River salmon stocks up to...
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...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Pacific Coast Salmon Recovery Pacific Salmon Treaty Program (CFDA 11.438), will enable the Washington State Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW) to implement key provisions of the 2019-2028 Pacific Salmon Treaty and associated Biological Opinion.
