Return of the Sturgeon

[DTro]

Just finished up reading a very interesting article over lunch in the latest MN Conservation Volunteer.

Return of the Sturgeon:

A story of how there is a big effort to return the Sturgeon to its once native Wild Rice and Red Rivers.

From the sounds of it, just making a passage way in the dams could be all that is needed for these fish to thrive once again.

A good read about a great fish.

Hopefully the effort will pay off as it has up on the Rainy.

One thing that I really like reading about in the article was the deep traditions that the White Earth Band have with sturgeon and now with their numbers returning so are their ceremonies. I like to see people passing their heritage down to the next generation.
