Coastal Wetlands StudiesNate Stott
2017 The Garden Club of America Award in Coastal Wetlands Studies
Nate Stott is a master’s student at Bowling Green University in Ohio. His project is titled “Use of Reconnected Lake Erie Wetlands by Fishes: Comparing Native Pike and Invasive Common Carp Spawning Migrations.” His research aims to estimate northern pike (Esox lucius) populations in various Lake Erie coastal wetlands and determine if a more active management strategy is needed to ensure their success. By quantifying fish movement into coastal wetlands, a more robust management strategy may be needed to allow native northern pike into coastal wetlands while denying access to invasive common carp. Carp are known to degrade Laurentian Great Lakes coastal wetland habitats.
