Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Units

Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Units are partnerships between state and federal agencies and universities dedicated to studying and managing fish and wildlife populations. They conduct research to inform conservation efforts and improve the sustainable use of natural resources. These units bring together scientists, students, and policymakers to collaborate on projects addressing ecological challenges, such as habitat loss and climate change. By combining academic expertise with resource management needs, they help ensure healthier ecosystems and more effective wildlife protection strategies.
