2022 Virginia Water Conference
2022-03-06 - 2022-03-08 | DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, 1021 Koger Center Blvd, Richmond, VA, 23235, United States
March 6-8, 2022 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, Richmond-Midlothian
It’s time to prepare for the Virginia Water Conference, presented by the Virginia Lakes and Watersheds Association. The conference will again be held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, Richmond-Midlothian in Richmond, Virginia, where we hosted more than 400 participants at our 2020 conference (the last in-person conference we held prior to the pandemic)! We expect strong attendance from Federal, State, and local agency employees, lake owners & operators, consultants, product vendors, etc. Breakout sessions will feature many worthwhile professional papers from every sector of the Virginia water community.
The Virginia Lakes and Watersheds Association (VLWA) annual conference addresses lakes and watersheds, engineering and life sciences, facilities, maintenance, public works, consulting, academic research, and administration. We serve a variety of people all working to improve Virginia’s lakes and watersheds. Our conference is one of the largest state conferences in the US focused on water resources.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In the past, we’ve included 4 presentations per 75 minute technical session. This year we are planning on 3 presentations per 75 minute technical session. This change will provide more time to delve into presentation topics, but will cut our number of presentations by approximately 25%. Please be sure to submit abstracts early to ensure a spot in our technical program!

Managing tribal fisheries and employees on the reservation
2021-12-14 14:00 - 15:00 (America/Chicago) | online, n/a, n/a, n/a, n/a
Tribal natural resource management agencies continue to provide employment opportunities within the fisheries field, and while much is known about Western ways of managing fisheries, native culture and its views on fishery management are largely unknown to non-natives. In this presentation, we give guidance on how to prepare to work for tribe, effectively manage employees, create fishery regulations, and more. We also discuss native culture, Treaty Rights, history, and modern day tribal governance/sovereignty. This presentation aims to inform those who are interested in working for a tribe or for those wanting to gain more knowledge about the people of the first nations.
Our speaker:
Carl Klimah, Fisheries Manager @Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe
I have been a tribal fisheries biologist with the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe for 5 years, located in Central Minnesota. Since arriving, we have built a fish hatchery which has produced over 6 million walleyes and have undertaken multi-year and species acoustic telemetry studies. I received my Masters Degree from Auburn University in fisheries management and my Bachelors Degree in the same subject from University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. I am still enrolled in school part-time and am learning Ojibwemowin (Ojibwe Language).
