Four chinese scientists take part in a kayaking trip through the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife & Fish Refuge in Dresbach, Minnesota. The scientists, representing Chinese national and provincial science agencies, are visiting the Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center (UMESC) in LaCrosse, Wisconsin to learn about the Long Term Resource Management Program on the Upper Mississippi River System. Their visit is part of an on-going scientific and technical exchange between the Yangtze River Basin and the Mississippi River Basin, facilitated by The Nature Conservancy’s Great Rivers Partnership and funded by the Caterpillar Foundation. LTRMP staff share its technical and scientific experiences in conducting ecological monitoring, assessment, and science in the Upper Mississippi River Basin over a 20 year period in partnership with four federal agencies, 5 state natural resource agencies, countless additional private and public organizations, and the American public.
