Attention everyone! We have a job opening that doesn't...suck. Or does it? This is a fish biologist position, GS- 0482-9/11, working in Ludington, Michigan for the Sea Lamprey Control Program. The primary focus of the position is to control invasive sea lamprey populations using various methods. While the sea lamprey is native to the Atlantic Ocean, it is highly invasive to the Great Lakes. The invasive sea lampreys are a jawless, parasitic fish that entered the Great Lakes system via manmade locks and shipping canals. Their aggressive behavior and appetite for the bodily fluids of fish wreaked havoc on native fish populations and decimated an already vulnerable lake trout fishery. Come join the Sea Lamprey Control Program Team! Only the lamprey suck... the job is great. Applications are due by 10/09/24. See the full list of duties and how to apply ➡️ https://ow.ly/Hy2U50TusiU Photo of a USFWS employee with an invasive sea lamprey briefly attached to learn "first hand" what many of our native fishes in the Great Lakes experience.

It’s our favorite time of the year! Meet our chonky contenders at fatbearweek.org and vote during #FatBearWeek October 2-8! 🐻
Honky Chonk Beardonkadonk... Fat Bear Week is coming! 🐻 Yes, you heard correctly—Fat Bear Week, a time when we collectively celebrate the corpulent charms of our Ursidae friends, kicks off October 2-8. These chunky champs have been chowing down, packing on the pounds, and eyeing the title all summer long. (We assume they know they are competing.) Also, we’re currently seeking volunteers to weigh and crown the winning bear. Anyone? Bueller? Just kidding. Not making that mistake again. Time flies! Celebrating 10 years, #FatBearWeek is an annual competition that highlights the healthy appetites of brown bears as well as the nourishing ecosystem in which they thrive. By engaging in some hefty eating of the all-important salmon, the bear’s ample proportions serve as a testament to their survival instincts, preparing them for the long winter. It’s kinda a BIG deal. Last year, nearly 1.4 million votes were cast for the bears. This fall, you can weigh in and choose the bear that you think has what it takes to be champ at: fatbearweek.org.
