Who’s Who in Stream Management

The Who’s Who in Stream Management in the AFS-NCD was first organized in 1989 and now it has been updated as of 2004. It is a list of people by state in the North Central Division that can be contacted concerning various stream activities. There are 25 different categories such as coldwater streams, dam removal, database management, fisheries assessment, GIS, habitat assessment, large rivers, stream macroinvertebrates, fish species identification, and freshwater mussels. A complete list of categories is given in a separate document. We hope to have this document updated every several years. Check your state out!
