Opportunity Information: Apply for G25AS00353
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), through its Great Lakes Science Center (GLSC), is offering a funding opportunity under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Program. The focus is to advance research on how lakebed habitats affect fish populations in the Great Lakes, particularly species like lake whitefish that are experiencing stock declines due to factors like invasive species and habitat degradation.
The selected partner will collaborate with USGS to develop high-resolution habitat maps using underwater images collected by autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). These maps will be created using photogrammetry techniques such as Structure from Motion, a technical area in which USGS currently lacks in-house expertise. The goal is to better understand the role of spawning and nursery habitats in fish productivity, ultimately supporting fisheries management and conservation strategies.
Eligible applicants must be affiliated with the Great Lakes Northern Forests CESU network. The work will contribute to broader efforts to support stakeholders like the Great Lakes Fisheries Commission and the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, which rely on high-quality scientific data to protect a $7 billion-per-year fisheries economy.Apply for G25AS00353
