Michigan DNR to Spend $1.5 Million for Sportfish Industry, Not One Red Cent for Whitefish Preservation

While the funding prioritizes sportfish species like bass and trout, native whitefish preservation appears neglected. This has prompted calls for a more inclusive conservation approach, advocating for focused funding and collaboration to address the challenges facing whitefish and maintain ecological balance and economic sustainability.
