What the grant funds
U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NOROCK) is offering a funding opportunity to improve understanding of environmental factors influencing threatened bull trout in the transboundary St. Mary and Kootenai river systems of the United States and Canada. The proposed project will advance the ability to understand population dynamics and environmental drivers of bull trout populations. Quantitative ecologists at the university and research ecologists at Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center will work with state, federal, provincial, and tribal partners to inform bull trout population and water resource management decisions. Integrating environmental and population datasets and developing new integrated population models can help provide decision-support tools that will help resource managers to proactively prioritize and implement conservation and recovery actions for bull trout and address future water management across these transboundary rivers.
