Doc-UWM

Sturgeon rearing at Riveredge Nature Center in Saukville with Mary Holleback

Lake Sturgeon took center stage today. Our SURF fellows presented their latest production research for "Sturgeon Stories," proving that documentary is a vital tool for environmental discovery.

Feeling grateful for collaborators like Anahkwet (Guy Reiter). He’s been instrumental in helping doc|UWM connect with sturgeon stories across communities.
On Friday at Peshtigo Lake, we turned the camera toward him so he could share his own knowledge and perspective.

We interviewed Wisconsin DNR sturgeon expert Aaron Schiller as sturgeon begin their spring run upstream. Early detections show the fish passages are working and the story is just beginning.

We’re grateful to John Gurda for sharing his time and insight with docUWM for our Sturgeon Stories documentary.
