Nominations requested for Lake Champlain Sea Lamprey Control Alternatives
Workgroup The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking nominations for members of the Lake Champlain Sea Lamprey Control Alternatives Workgroup. "This advisory committee will look at control alternatives, make research recommendations, and assist with research coordination in the Lake Champlain Basin," according to Dave Tilton, Project Leader for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Lake Champlain office in Essex Junction, Vermont. Several representatives of stakeholder organizations have begun to investigate sea lamprey control alternatives in Lake Champlain. Now, a Lake Champlain Sea Lamprey Control Alternatives Workgroup will be formally established as a Federal advisory committee. It is anticipated that many of the stakeholder organization representatives who have been involved in ongoing lamprey control alternative investigations will be part of the Workgroup. "The Service is seeking nominations for the 20 to 25-member workgroup representing organizations and agencies interested in fish and wildlife resources and environmental quality in the Basin," Tilton said. The Secretary of the Interior will select committee members representing a broad-based cross-section of interest groups. The Secretary of the Interior will consider nominations submitted by interested parties, including but not limited to: Lake Champlain Basin residents, State and Federal agency and University research representatives, recreational fishermen, environmental interests, charter captains, and the general public. "The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is enthusiastic about this initiative," said Tilton. "We hope the Workgroup develops innovative ideas and enhances public knowledge about methods of sea lamprey management in Lake Champlain" added Tilton.
