Cooperative Agreement for affiliated Partner with Great Lakes-Northern Forest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research that supports cisco restoration priorities in Lakes Huron and Erie by hiring a structured decision-making expert and convening a structured decision-making workshop to help fisheries managers develop a restoration plan and by hiring a scientist to conduct experiments to determine what environmental conditions can lead to the highest quality cisco that can be produced in hatcheries for reintroduction.

This financial assistance opportunity is being issued under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Program. CESU's are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education. Eligible recipients must be a participating partner of the Great Lakes-Northern Forest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit.
