America’s diverse ecosystems are an asset to current and future generations by supporting economically and recreationally important fish, wildlife, and lands. Healthy ecosystems support people and nature, fostering prosperity and enjoyment for all. 

Black crappies and other panfish support important harvest-oriented fisheries throughout North America. USGS scientists at the Wisconsin Cooperative Fishery Research Unit are working closely with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to determine how changes in panfish harvest regulations affect where anglers choose to fish. 

The Wisconsin Cooperative Fishery Research Unit (WICFRU) continues to work with the Wisconsin and Michigan Departments of Natural Resources (DNR) to better understand walleye spawning behavior and post-spawning dispersal of walleyes in Green Bay.

In a collaborative effort with the Wisconsin and Michigan Departments of Natural Resources, USGS scientists at the Wisconsin Cooperative Fishery Research Unit (WICFRU) are using telemetry to better define appropriate management boundaries for smallmouth bass populations in Green Bay.

Shannon is a research fish biologist and the Unit Leader at the Alabama CRU at Auburn University. Shannon's research questions focus on identifying relationships and mechanisms related to rare, declining, or economically-important aquatic species for which the causes and management responses are unclear.

Bighorn sheep in the West face threats from M. ovi, a pathogen that causes respiratory disease. USGS scientists and graduate students at the Montana Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit in the Wildlife Biology Program at the University of Montana are examining how testing and removal of chronically M.

Our cutting-edge, ongoing research may accelerate domestic energy production by providing managers and industry vital information for solar-energy siting in the Northeast U.S. Good sites for solar energy, including agriculture lands like hayfields and pas, provide nesting habitat for grassland birds such as bobolink and eastern meadowlark.
