GAYLORD, MI (AP)-- Michigan wildlife policymakers will discuss a proposal to restore one of the state's lost fish species.
The Natural Resources Commission's regular meeting is scheduled for Thursday in Gaylord.
Director Bill Moritz of the Department of Natural Resources will discuss trying to bring back the arctic grayling, which once thrived in northern Michigan streams.
The grayling died off during the logging boom of the 19th and 20th centuries, when logs were floated down rivers and streams, jamming fish passages and destroying spawning areas.
Other business during the meeting will include an update on last year's hunting season, a public survey about Belle Isle in Detroit and an assessment of a pet-friendly lodging program.
Commissioners also will set furbearer regulations and fishing regulations for trout, salmon, whitefish, lake herring and smelt.
