Welcome!
This website is a group project for Oregon State University's senior capstone class, Problem Solving in Fisheries and Wildlife. We created this site as an outreach product for managers of the Northern Pikeminnow Sport Reward Program (NPSRP) who are new to the program and for those already familiar with it. This site's purpose is to provide a brief overview of the sport reward program, an objective evaluation of the biological, economic, and ethical considerations, and questions/recommendations for future actions.
