“Developing restoration approaches for Great Lakes spawning reefs and river spawning Lake Whitefish”
Matt Herbert is the Great Lakes Sustainable Fisheries lead for Michigan and conducts several projects to

fisheries. These projects are in collaboration with state and tribal partners who manage Great Lakes
fisheries, federal agencies, and university partners. Matt also works on river-spawning migratory fish
conservation, developing tools to identify how agricultural conservation practices can provide ecological
benefits, and developing restoration strategies for Great Lakes coastal wetlands.
