Key activities under this grant...
- This $1,314,833 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Fish and Aquatic Conservation - Aquatic Invasive Species (CFDA 15.608) program aims to reduce invasive carp populations and monitor their expansion in the Upper Mississippi River. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources will lead the research, which includes using commercial fishers to intensively target invasive carp species for removal, surveying for invasive carp larvae, and evaluating the...
- This $8.53 million Project Grant from the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3, under the Great Lakes Restoration CFDA program, funds invasive carp management and control efforts in the Illinois Waterway from January 1, 2023 through September 30, 2026. The Department of Natural Resources Illinois is the primary awardee and works with sub-awardees including Tetra Tech, Inc., the Board of Trustees of Southern Illinois University, the University of Illinois, and others to...
- This $197,717 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey under the Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808) supports research on invasive carp management strategies. The University of Missouri System, as the prime awardee, will collaboratively develop adaptive frameworks with stakeholders to prevent Prussian carp invasion into U.S. waters, evaluate management actions for controlling invasive carp populations in the Illinois River and expansion into Lake Michigan, and...
- This $9,087,294 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 under the Great Lakes Restoration program (CFDA 15.662) will provide enforcement, monitoring, and control efforts to prevent the introduction and spread of invasive carp species in the waterways of Illinois and the Great Lakes region. The project will fund surveillance, enforcement operations, law enforcement support, and training related to aquatic invasive species. It will...
- The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) was awarded a $9,054,943 Project Grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (CFDA 15.662) on February 1, 2025. This grant will support IDNR's partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to prevent invasive carp from reaching and establishing populations in the Great Lakes. Key activities include: Implementing a multi-pronged approach of early detection, monitoring, and control of...
- The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) awarded a $1,879,170 Project Grant under the Fish and Aquatic Conservation - Aquatic Invasive Species program (CFDA 15.608) to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) to support the Illinois Support of Ohio River Basin Asian Carp Control and Management initiative. This two-year project, running from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026, will fund IDNR's efforts to control and manage invasive Asian carp populations in the Ohio River basin....
- This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Fish and Aquatic Conservation - Aquatic Invasive Species (CFDA 15.608) program provides $404,000 to Iowa State University to study the movement and behavior of invasive bighead and silver carp in the Missouri and Mississippi River basins. The objectives are to determine when and under what environmental conditions these invasive carp are moving into tributaries, how far they travel, and the conditions that lead to...
- The University of Missouri System was awarded a $208,236 Project Grant under the U.S. Geological Survey's Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) to evaluate the use of side-scan sonar technology combined with N-mixture modeling for estimating the abundance of invasive silver carp in the Upper Mississippi Basin. The project aims to compare the cost and performance of this sonar-based approach against traditional capture methods used by USGS and other...
The University of Illinois will receive $244,636 under a Project Grant from the U.S. Geological Survey, a bureau of the Department of the Interior, to study habitat selection and predatory effects of juvenile black carp. The grant is funded through the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805), which provides support to designated state water resources research institutes. Under this award, researchers at the University of Illinois will conduct experiments at the Kaskaskia Biological Station to measure velocity and substrate preferences of juvenile black carp in indoor flow tanks. Treatments will test vulnerability of native and non-native bivalves to black carp predation across different habitat characteristics. Outcomes seek to inform monitoring and control strategies for this invasive predator by identifying habitats preferred by juveniles and where bivalves face highest risk. The research aims to guide focus of future black carp surveys and management in large rivers.
