2) Design of the sea lamprey barrier located approximately 5,500 feet upstream of the existing dam and undertaking pre-construction biological assessments, monitoring, and other work leading to construction;

3) Issuance for a competition to support projects that will fund native species restoration proposals; and

4) Initial construction of the fishpass facility.

Subrecipient: Subrecipient's activities include implementing science planning methods within the coregonine restoration framework and researching and answering management questions critical to the restoration of native Great Lakes fishes.

Outcomes: The ultimate outcome of this project is to develop and implement supplemental sea lamprey control strategies using suites of adult and juvenile control tactics, semiochemical control tactics, new lampricides, and genetic control strategies to increase effectiveness of sea lamprey control.
