The Coastal Program grant funds a project at Michigan Technological University aiming to identify the abiotic factors necessary for the survival of young lake sturgeon in their native habitat in Michigan and Wisconsin. By understanding these essential physical characteristics, the research will inform restoration efforts in deteriorated river systems, benefiting the lake sturgeon population and preserving the local ecosystem. This initiative will contribute to the conservation of Federal trust species and support the restoration of native plant and animal species in the region.
