Project Leader Jerry McClain holds a lake trout captured from Lake Huron. Biologist Scott Koproski holds a lake sturgeon captured from the St. Marys River.

Native species are an intrinsic part of the ecosystem and are valuable as natural, tribal, recreational, and economic trust species. Concerns for these species include rare or declining natural populations, inadequate information for effective conservation, habitat loss or degredation, and impacts of aquatic nuisance species.

Alpena NFWCO has been involved in investigative and restoration activities in the St. Mary's River, Lake Huron, and the Huron Erie Corridor. The office is actively involved with the following programs:
