State/Tribal Fisheries Co-Management in Shared Fishery Lakes

This presentation will focus on the implementation of court affirmed treaty fishing rights in the upper Great Lakes region (Wisconsin and Minnesota). The implementation of fishing right involves the integration of state-licensed fishery, primarily sport fishery, with traditional culturally important tribal fishing. This integration has not always been easy but fishery biologists are developing ways to work together in open and honest information exchange to accomplish common goals.

This is the fourth webinar in a 7-part series focused on tribal land management.

This series focuses on tribal land management that encompasses a wide array of topics and includes speakers from across the nation. The goal of this webinar series is to inform forestry and natural resource professionals of the full scope of land management approaches used by Native Americans across the country. In addition, information from this series will provide the audience a better understanding of some of the complex history and policy challenges that also influence tribal land management.
