Washington Research Activities
The unit's fisheries research program focuses on the management of aquatic habitats for shellfish and warm- and cold-water fish including anadromous salmonids. Research focuses on the requirements of individual species, the effects of habitat alteration (physical and chemical) on individuals, populations, and communities, and fish/wildlife interactions. Expertise of Unit staff includes freshwater, estuarine, and marine (near coastal) habitats. In addition, the Assistant Unit Leader in Fisheries served as a Federal Court advisor on Native American/fisheries issues. Like the fisheries program, the Units' wildlife research focuses on the habitat requirements of individual species as well as the aquatic wildlife within crop and forest lands, and wildlife within near-coastal communities. Marine mammalogy and wildlife toxicology are major interests of Unit wildlife staff. Although the WACFWRU focuses its research on resource problems within the State of Washington, it may also conduct/support research on regional, national, and international issues that affect fish and wildlife populations or their habitats.
