Great day yesterday scouting sites with partners from Little Traverse Bay Band and Sault Tribe, in preparation for upcoming work this fall/winter, as part of our efforts to develop restoration strategies for tributary runs of Lake Whitefish. #GreatLakes

Wrapped up 2 weeks of overnight drift netting for larval Lake Whitefish on the Jordan River. Thankful for our phenomenal partners from the Little Traverse Bay Band & Sault Tribe, as well as my TNC colleagues. And thanks to Nick Mead and Leanne Chadwick for the great photos! #GreatLakes

I think this was the last of our eDNA sampling for this year, though it is possible that there are still some fall-spawners hanging around upstream. (photos curtesy of A. Tucker)

Doing eDNA sampling for native migratory fall-spawning fish on the Two Hearted River over the last couple of days, and dealing with a lot of snowy back roads (and sometimes failing to access sites).
