This week Kadie chats with Leslie Bahn Steen, the Northwest Wyoming Program Director for Trout Unlimited. Listen in to hear about how a sea kayaking expedition spurred Leslie's interest in fisheries, Leslie's current stream restoration work in the Snake River headwaters for Trout Unlimited, and how she manifested her dream job in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
If you would like to get in touch with Leslie, you can email her at Leslie.Steen@tu.org. Check out the Spread Creek project and more of Leslie's work in the Snake River Headwaters with this ArcMap (the Spread Creek project is on tab 8). You can also watch the film Leslie mentioned on the Tribasin Divide on Youtube.

This week Zach catches up with Nick Kramer to hear about some of the projects he has been working in in Kansas. They discuss a project Nick completed looking at blood glucose of Blue Catfish and how it was affected by differing livewell conditions, a survey of Kansas anglers regarding their experience and opinions towards Common Carp angling, and some things Nick has learned running juglines in Kansas.
If you would like to get in touch with Nick you can find him on social media @nicktalurus or through the podcast, @FisheriesPod. You can also send him an email at nick.kramer@thefisheriespodcast.com or nick.kramer@ks.gov.
If you are interested in checking out the carp survey, your opinions are welcome. Head to www.tinyurl.com/carpkansas.

This week Kadie chats with Dr. Hayley Glassic. Hayley is a fisheries biologist for the Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center where her research focuses on the potential for remote sensing data to inform the prioritization and restoration of Lahontan Cutthroat Trout habitat. Hayley recently received her doctorate from Montana State University where she studied the implications of non-native lake trout suppression on the ecology of Yellowstone Lake in Yellowstone National Park. Kadie and Hayley cover her path from initially wanting to be a fashion designer to her current career in fisheries, what sparked her interest in western fish research and more!
If you would like to get in touch with Hayley, you can reach her at hglassic@usgs.gov or check out her website: https://sites.google.com/view/glassicaquaticecology/

In this episode, Anders Halverson talks to Dr. Brian Healy about the conservation of native fishes in Grand Canyon National Park. Although big dams like Glen Canyon have profoundly changed the Colorado River, native fishes like the humpback chub have managed to hang on in some of its tributaries. Now Brian and others are trying to expand their tenuous toehold even as climate change and the ongoing drought create new threats.
If you want to get in touch with Brian you can reach him at:

Listen to hear all about MyCatch: an app that hosts catch, photo, release fishing tournaments to generate data for use by fisheries scientists. Zach talks with Sean Simmons, founder and president of MyCatch and Angler's Atlas, about how MyCatch works, and how the data can be used by fisheries biologists and managers. They also discuss several upcoming events including two symposia and a work shop at AFS Spokane, as well as the summer 2022 Iowa Walleye challenge: a two month long Walleye fishing tournament throughout the state of Iowa hosted by MyCatch.

Erin Spencer is a marine ecologist and PhD Candidate in Biology at Florida International University studying great hammerhead sharks. She uses biologgers, or animal-mounted data collecting devices, to record acceleration, speed, depth, and more, which helps us understand shark energy needs and movement patterns. Prior to working in Florida, she received her master's in Ecology from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill where she studied red snapper fishery management and seafood mislabeling and her bachelor's in Ecology from the College of William and Mary where she studied invasive lionfish management. She is a three-time National Geographic Explorer grantee and has given talks to groups of all ages through National Geographic, the World Bank, and TEDx, as well as many school groups. She is also an avid writer, and has a children's book called The World of Coral Reefs that was published in March 2022.
Key points: Don't be discouraged. Anyone with any skill set can help tackle the big problems.

This week, Zach talks to Nick Coleman - a master's student in Dr. Dave Secor's lab at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science - about his research on Atlantic Sturgeon in the Chesapeake Bay. Nick is using a variety of acoustic methods to estimate abundance and fine-scale habitat usage of these incredible endangered fish. Also discussed is Nick's path to starting his graduate degree and some of the projects that helped him gain experience and further refine his interests as a fisheries scientist. Check it out!

This week Kadie catches up with Troy Smith, a recent University of Montana graduate and the new Kootenai white sturgeon Research Biologist for Idaho Fish and Game. Throughout the conversation, we cover Troy's career path from being a freelance writer to his current work as a fisheries biologist, his master's research on migratory westslope cutthroat trout in Rock Creek, Montana, and more!
Main Point: In life and biology, things are more often continuous than categorical.
If you would like to get in touch with Troy, you can send him an email at troy.smith@idfg.idaho.gov.

Harmful algal blooms, lionfish invasions, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill – the Gulf of Mexico's small demersal reef fishes are ecologically important species facing numerous anthropogenic threats. University of Florida PhD student Justin Lewis is using tissue stable isotopes to infer their trophic relationships (you are what you eat) and an ecosystem modeling approach to identify the most effective fish diet sampling schemes given different downstream applications.
