Lake Michigan's Future Stocking Direction
The second workshop on Lake Michigan Stocking Strategies was held on November 5, 2011 in Portage, Indiana. The purpose of the meeting was three-fold: 1) to bring constituents from all the Lake Michigan States and present information about the current status of the fishery on Lake Michigan, 2) present the latest results from Lake Michigan Decision Analysis model and 3) solicit ideas and information from the constituents on future analyses using the model. The agenda is shown below and it contains links to all the presentations from the meeting. You can click on the "notes" link to view the text for each of the slides or you can click on "presentation" to view the presentation.
