The U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service has awarded a five-year, $3 million grant to the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff s Aquaculture/Fisheries Department for wetlands conservation research.
Michael Eggleton, a professor of fisheries science in that UAPB department, is the principal investigator. Co-principal investigators include Uttam Deb, assistant professor of aquaculture economics; Yingkai Fang, assistant professor of natural resources economics; and Jonathan Spurgeon, assistant unit leader at the U.S. Geological Survey-Nebraska Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit.
The purpose of the grant is to provide a formal evaluation of the NRCS s Agricultural Conservation Easement Program-Wetland Reserve Easements (ACEP-WRE) program. That program allows landowners to cost-share with NRCS in converting their marginal or retired farmlands back to native wetland and associated habitats.
