## Who can apply

- Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)

This financial assistance opportunity is being issued under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESU’s are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education. Eligible recipients must be a participating partner of the GreatLakes Northern Forests (CESU) Program.

## What the grant funds

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Science Center has a new research project seeking to estimate the survival of lake whitefish eggs in Thunder Bay, Lake Huron that ultimately seeks to determine whether invasive dreissenid mussels have a negative impact. This research is to test a hypothesis that invasive mussels reduce lake whitefish egg survival and thus is a key factor underlying a more than 50% reduction in lake whitefish yield in Lakes Huron and Michigan over the past two decades. This research project would be part of a multi-agency effort that evaluates the effectiveness of small-scale invasive mussel control on lake whitefish egg survival.
