This grant is for researching science needs related to the alteration and fragmentation of watersheds and physical aquatic habitats, a primary issue for prairie fish. The Great Plains Landscape Conservation Cooperative (GPLCC) is offering this grant to identify solutions and inform conservation efforts for priority species including the Arkansas River shiner, Arkansas darter, Topeka shiner, Pallid sturgeon, Shovelnose sturgeon, and paddlefish. The objective is to mitigate impacts on these vital aquatic environments and support the long-term viability of these vulnerable fish populations. This research specifically targets GPLCC’s identified priorities for Fiscal Year 2012.
