The CRWD's 4th Annual AIS Forum will focus on enhanced carp management as efforts are ramped up to defend against invasive carp.

Managers facing transforming lakes can benefit by using the RAD framework, a decision-support tool for the walleye recreational fishery in Wisconsin.

Lakes are losing ice cover at unprecedented rates. With reduced ice cover, lakes may stratify earlier which can lead to elevated water temperatures, primary production, and likelihood of algal blooms, some of which may be toxic. Mitigation of greenhouse gases is essential to preserving this ecological, cultural, and economically important resource.

Multiple activities within watershed boundaries impact the quality of freshwater systems and this presentation examines stakeholders' perspectives of governance in the Iowa Great Lakes region. Conservationists' perspectives on the region's environmental pressures, barriers they encounter, and solutions within this system are discussed.
