Projects

Coregonine restoration has been supported by several agencies within the Great Lakes who have allocated funding to support planning, restoration, or evaluation components of the Coregonine Restoration Framework. Two agencies have provided the most direct support to these efforts: the Great Lakes Fishery Commission (GLFC) through the Fishery Research Program and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI). For example, using GLRI funds, federal agencies on the Coregonine Steering Committee annually solicit and select projects for funding. These proposals are led by Department of Interior agencies but often include partners from state agencies, Tribes, or academic institutions. Since 2017, more than $6.8 million USD have been invested, providing science and operational support. Other Great Lakes agencies have also funded projects that have supported coregonine restoration and research, including the Great Lakes Fishery Trust and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Restoration Act.

Below, you can learn more about some of the projects that have been funded since 2017 in support of coregonine restoration.
