Recreational Fishing and Hunting
Recreational Fishing and Hunting
Recreational hunting and fishing play a key role in conservation by funding fish and wildlife management, supporting habitat protection, and fostering public appreciation for nature. They also strengthen local economies and encourage responsible stewardship, helping ensure healthy wildlife populations for future generations.
Inland Fish and Recreational Fishing
Inland Fish and Recreational Fishing
Climate change is reshaping sport fish populations, creating novel challenges for important recreational fisheries. In this project, researchers developed the U.S Inland Creel and Angler Survey Catalog (CreelCat) and the Fish and Climate Change database (FiCli) to predict fish and angler responses to global environmental change and inform management strategies.
