Beau Griffith, a biological technician at CERC, stands at the bottom of one of the newly reconstructed ponds designed to conduct long-term studies with sturgeon and other riverine species. A divider and circulators can be installed in the sandy-bottomed ponds to create the continuous water current that sturgeon prefer.

Here is a study deer after capture and being radio-collared. The tracking information from this collar will enable researchers and managers to track the migrations of mule deer and evaluate their habitat and population performance and will aid in management of mule deer populations in Wyoming.
