W. Clay Perschon- began working with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources as a student in 1973 at Ogden Bay Waterfowl Management Area. His professional career started in 1976 when was hired as the Conservation Officer at Dutch John, Utah. Since then he’s held positions as biologist, regional Habitat Manager and Regional Supervisor. In 1996 he put together the Great Salt Lake Ecosystem Program which included cooperative law enforcement of the brine shrimp fishery, management of that fishery and a research program to study the different components of the lake ecosystem. Currently he’s the fisheries research and special projects coordinator. That position still allows direct involvement with the Great Salt Lake Ecosystem Program.
Abstract: A Manager’s Overview of Great Salt Lake from Lake Elevations 4194′-4205′
Great Salt Lake elevations fluctuate naturally as a terminal basin lake. Morphology of this shallow basin lake changes dramatically with surface level fluctuations. Bird habitats are created and lost, the water volume can affect brine shrimp population levels, bioherms become exposed and beach areas change. Observations related to these changes are presented and examined.
