How many of Minnesota’s 150+ fish species can you name?  This course will explore the fascinating world of Minnesota fishes and their significance to regional ecology, economy, and cultural practices.  Students will learn fish biology/ecology and gain insight to historical and contemporary fish/fishing-related issues through a variety of discussions with state and federal governmental agencies, tribal groups, and commercial/recreational fishing advocates.  Tours include museums, a fish hatchery, and aquatic facilities in Duluth, MN.  A dog sled trip into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness is planned as part of a winter-camping/fishing activity.  Each student will keep a journal, prepare a creative project, and participate in real-world fisheries-related class discussions and activities.
