Fisheries Research
Michigan DNR, Fisheries Division includes a section devoted to fisheries research. Approximately 53 people make up the Research Section or about 30% of Fisheries Division.
The mission of the Research Section is to
provide information, models, and advice to make
possible science-based management of Michigan's fishery resources.
This mission is pursued by synthesis of existing information and/or that gained through direct application of the scientific method into decision support tools.
Research section includes biologists, analysts, technicians, and other support professionals and works closely with the other sections in Fisheries Division to assist in their missions by pursuing long-term or in-depth investigations that are normally outside the scope of other Fisheries Division units.
Research Section maintains many partnerships and working relationships with other governmental institutions and universities. Funding comes from a variety of sources including Sport Fish Restoration funds.
Research Section is divided into six separate research stations located throughout the state and the PERM Unit which resides at various universities. In addition, the section includes a statewide section manager, support staff, and
division services.
