Fish Monitoring
Friends of the Rouge began collecting data on Rouge River fish since 2012 thanks to Robert Muller who came to us with a request to do an internship and a lifetime of experience collecting and raising native fish. We now have the most up-to-date Rouge River fish data since the Michigan DNR’s 1998 Rouge River Assessment. We have sampled 135 sites and identified 55 native and 9 non-native species.
