Fisheries

Recreational and commercial fisheries are a vital part of Michigan's heritage. Great Lakes fisheries are valued at more than $4 billion annually. Michigan Sea Grant conducts scientific research aimed at understanding fish populations in order to provide a basis for sound fishery management.

Regional Fisheries Workshops
Michigan Sea Grant Extension, in partnership with fisheries agencies and stakeholder organizations, annually host public information workshops offering current research and information related to the regional status of Great Lakes fisheries. These workshops are open to the public, and provide valuable information for anglers, charter captains, resource professionals, and other interested stakeholders. See: Workshops
