Washington Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit
The Washington Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit (est. 1967) is a partnership among the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, Washington Department of Natural Resources, Washington Department of Ecology, University of Washington, Washington State University, the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Wildlife Management Institute.
Unit scientists at the Washington Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit are engaged in a wide variety of research projects in Washington, the U.S., and internationally. We have specific interests and expertise in the development of methods for analysis of ecological data, the use of ecological information in decision-making processes and the human dimensions of wildlife management.
The federal scientists at the Washington Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit teach graduate courses in the College of the Environment at University of Washington. We specialize in teaching subjects including statistics, data science, and population analysis. We also regularly teach short courses for students and professionals.
The Washington Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit provides technical assistance to our Cooperators and to management agencies throughout the US and around the world. The Unit staff are also heavily involved in University and Professional service activities.
