Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/Western Colorado University/Biology 670 Fisheries Management (Fall 2023)

This course includes a lecture and laboratory and focuses on theory and methods associated with exploited populations of fish and other aquatic organisms. Covered topics include population growth, sustainable yields, conservation, community interactions, human impacts, and policy. Management techniques including sampling methods, monitoring, habitat assessment, and regulations will also be taught. Local fisheries will be highlighted in laboratory/field activities, and nationwide/global examples will be discussed in class. Students will be assigned to identify a fisheries management issue that does not yet have a developed Wikipedia page, and then write one after participating in all the relevant Wiki trainings/sandboxes.
