The unit exists by cooperative agreement between the ÐÓ°Épro Department of Fish and Game, UAF, United States Geological Survey, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Wildlife Management Institute. It was created as a space for college-level research and graduate student training to support science-based management of fish and wildlife and their habitats.
