Bill > SF2003

This bill appropriates $750,000 in fiscal year 2026 from Minnesota's arts and cultural heritage fund to the commissioner of natural resources for a grant to the Great Lakes Aquarium. The funding is specifically designated for a lake sturgeon project that involves multiple collaborative partners, including the commissioner of natural resources, the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. The project will focus on two primary objectives: rearing and stocking lake sturgeon, and conducting public education efforts that highlight the historical, cultural, and biological importance of lake sturgeon in the St. Louis River ecosystem. By supporting this initiative, the bill aims to contribute to the conservation and public understanding of this significant fish species.
