Great
Lakes Riverine and Nearshore Habitats:
A Collaborative Effort
Between the Great Lakes Fishery Trust, Great Lakes Fishery
Commission, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Funding
Purpose
The GLFT is collaborating with the Great Lakes Fishery Commission
and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to compile and
synthesize research and management techniques that address
inventory, classification, and rehabilitation of Great Lakes
lower riverine and aquatic nearshore habitats. The effort
is assessing the type and extent to which varying scientific
and management techniques are being employed to conduct habitat
research and monitoring that promotes sustainable fish populations,
as well as the relative level of success of such efforts.
This collaboration is intended to promote the development
and use of complementary approaches for assessing gains and
losses of Great Lakes habitat and to help funding organizations
identify and establish collaborative funding priorities related
to habitat. A primary goal is that the project results will
lead to pilot studies that test related or alternative hypotheses
to support stronger decision frameworks for carrying out habitat
management.
