The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Science Center is offering this grant to a CESU partner for research on historical Coregonus artedi distribution in Lake Michigan. This grant aims to facilitate the restoration of Coregonus artedi, a native species believed to fill the niche of declining alewife populations. Increased artedi abundance will enhance the planktivore community’s diversity and integrity, and supplement the shrinking salmonine prey base. Understanding their historical habitat use is crucial for successful restoration, guiding stocking locations or areas to protect from harvest, thereby supporting Lake Michigan’s ecological health.

| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Science Center is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for a new research project seeking to improve understanding of historical coregonine distribution in Lake Michigan. Managers are interested in restoration of one species, in particular, Coregonus artedi, as it is hypothesized to fill a niche that declining alewife populations have occupied over the past several decades. Increased abundance of this native species will not only enhance the biological diversity and integrity of the planktivore community, but also supplement the shrinking salmonine prey base. To restore artedi, it is necessary to understand their historical habitat uses to inform stocking locations or areas that could be protected from harvest. |
