Fishers and Farmers: Watershed Leaders Network

How do diverse stakeholders move from finger pointing to collaboration? How can you share your agency’s expertise and also show respect for local knowledge?

In the Upper Mississippi River Basin, farmers are taking the lead to improve water quality for local fisheries. Find out how the Fishers & Farmers Partnership has brought together funding and technical assistance to improve life in communities throughout the Midwest.

Fishers & Farmers monitors the biological, chemical, physical and social aspects of projects. Learn how both kinds of monitoring play a role in developing accountability and creating a positive change for watersheds.
