渔业生态与保护学院为学生提供有关鱼类和其他水生动物及其所居住的淡水和海洋生态系统的生物学和生态学的基本保护科学教育。这包括了解水生系统及其居民的结构和功能，如何管理，养护和恢复鱼类和水生动物种群及其栖息地，如何制定可持续的渔业计划，土地利用，水流和污染物对水生生态系统的影响健康和鱼类群落结构，以及如何保护和增强生物多样性。成为渔业专业人员需要人才，个人投入，热情，完善的技术培训和特殊技能。集中精力的重要组成部分包括获得现场实践技能作为课程的一部分，并从暑期工作，实习以及与州，联邦和国际保护组织的合作教育职
Fisheries Ecology & Conservation provides students with the essential conservation science education in the biology and ecology of fish and other aquatic animals as well as the freshwater and marine ecosystems in which they reside. This involves learning about the structure and function of aquatic systems and their inhabitants, how to manage, conserve and restore fish and aquatic animal populations and their habitats, how to develop sustainable fisheries programs, effects of land use, water flow and contaminants on aquatic ecosystem health and fish community structure, and how to conserve and enhance biological diversity. Becoming a fisheries professional requires talent, personal commitment, enthusiasm, sound technical training, and special skills. An essential component of the concentration involves obtaining hands-on field skills as part of the coursework, and field experiences from summer jobs, internships, and cooperative education positions with state, federal, and international conservation organizations. Our curriculum will provide the knowledge and skills necessary for entry-level employment in fisheries conservation professions, or to continue graduate training in fisheries ecology and conservation biology. This concentration also provides the training and coursework required to qualify for professional certification by the American Fisheries Society.
