The Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant hosts a number of fisheries workshops in the spring and fall, outside of popular fishing times and at venues convenient for anglers in Illinois and Indiana. At these workshops, scientists share interesting research and timely updates on fish populations, food webs, and environmental components of Lake Michigan. Workshops are designed to keep anglers informed of current and emerging issues, while encouraging collaboration among participants to address these issues or identify new research opportunities. These workshops are often collaborations with partners such as the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and Illinois Natural History Society.
