History of the New York Unit

Biologists conducting a waterfowl survey in 1957

The New York Cooperative Research Unit was established in 1961 as the New York Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit. It was led by Dr. Dan Thompson. In 1963, the New York Cooperative Fishery Research Unit was established under the leadership of Dr. Al Eipper. The wildlife and fishery units were combined in 1984 to form the current New York Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit. Dr. Milo Richmond led the combined unit.

The New York Unit has employed five wildlife scientists: Daniel Q. Thompson (1961-1975), Milo E. Richmond (1968-2008), Richard A. Malecki (1978-2008), Angela K. Fuller (2009-present); and seven fishery scientists: Alfred W. Eipper(1963-1975), Henry A. Regier (1964-1966), Clarence A. Carlson (1966-1972), John G. Nickum (1973-1980), Steven P. Gloss (1978-1987), Mark B. Bain (1991-2003), and William L. Fisher (2008-present).
