Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Units Program: West Virginia
Education, Research and Technical Assistance for Managing Our Natural Resources

West Virginia Research Activities


West Virginia Unit Leader, Dr. Pat Mazik, teaching fish physiology

The Cooperative Research Units Program conducts research on a wide range of disciplines, related to fish, wildlife and natural resource management. The programs offer Federal and State agencies access not only to unit scientists, but also to university expertise and facilities available at each of the 40 cooperating universities. Most research projects are carried out by graduate students participating with and/or under the direction of unit or other university scientists.

The research may be of local, regional, national or international interest. The research programs conducted by units are approved by the Coordinating Committee overseeing each unit.
