The Coastal Program is offering this grant to Michigan Technological University to research the environmental factors critical for the survival of young lake sturgeon. This grant, totaling $70,568, is for the purpose of identifying the specific physical characteristics required for lake sturgeon eggs and age-0 to thrive in their natural habitats across Michigan and Wisconsin. The findings from this research are intended to inform and guide future restoration initiatives in degraded river systems. Ultimately, this effort by the Coastal Program aims to enhance the survival rates of lake sturgeon, contributing significantly to their conservation, and in broader terms, safeguarding other native aquatic plants and animals in these vital ecosystems.

| Description: | The Coastal Program is a voluntary habitat conservation program that provides technical and financial assistance to partners for restoration projects that benefit Federal trust species. The service will provide $70,568 to Michigan Technological University to determine the physical characteristics needed for young lake sturgeon to survive in native habitat located in Michigan and Wisconsin. This will guide restoration actions in degraded rivers for the benefit of lake sturgeon, as well as conserve and protect other plants and animals native to the area. |
