CFEU GoalsThe goals of the CFEU are: to understand the functioning of industrially-damaged aquatic ecosystems; to assess and monitor the process of recovery and rehabilitation of industrially-damaged waters; and to develop and test rehabilitation techniques. The CFEU provides research opportunities in the fields of restoration ecology, environmental science, and aquatic resource management, for undergraduate and graduate students, and provides an education program that benefits students, government, and the general public. Current areas of study include restoration ecology, climate change, endangered fish species rehabilitation, zooplankton and fish community interactions in acid-stressed lakes, the effects of exploitation on game fish, the effects of habitat loss on salmonid reproduction, impact of invasive species, and sampling methods for fish and invertebrate communities.
