This grant, offered by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), is for conducting critical genetics research on lake sturgeon within the St. Clair Detroit River System (SCDRS), part of the Great Lakes. The primary purpose is to advance scientific understanding of lake sturgeon populations through comprehensive genetic studies. This research will provide vital data on population structure, genetic diversity, and connectivity, which are essential for developing robust conservation and management strategies for this important species. The funding opportunity is exclusively for a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) partner. This initiative highlights the USGS’s dedication to promoting ecosystem health and biodiversity preservation, ultimately contributing to the long-term sustainability of lake sturgeon in the Great Lakes.
