The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Science Center is offering a funding opportunity through its Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) to develop fisheries food web indicators of climate change in the Great Lakes. This grant specifically seeks a CESU partner to generate new field-based data. The research will focus on broad-scale spatial and seasonal comparisons of fish distribution, diets, and biochemical dietary markers. Understanding these mechanisms shaping food webs that support vital fisheries is crucial. This project aims to better enable Great Lakes resource managers to adaptively respond to the uncertainties of climate change effects on fisheries production, ensuring the sustainability of these important resources.
