New blog post from the Illinois State Technology Center highlighting our collaborative effort to improve the integrity and biological sustainability of our Lake Michigan shoreline:
The post dives into the purpose and goals of the Rubble Ridges project that the Lake Michigan Biological Station is helping with. While our focus is on monitoring and enhancing the habitat for a variety of species, other researchers from the Illinois State Geological Survey and Michigan State University are studying the effects of the rubble structure on shoreline erosion and current dynamics.

Work with Lake Michigan Biological Station scientists as a fisheries field technician! You’d assist with monitoring yellow perch population dynamics, nearshore and tributary fish assemblages, benthic invertebrate and zooplankton resources, and sport fish harvest dynamics along the Illinois shoreline of Lake Michigan.
