Ambitious California River Restoration Program Plagued
From the Associated Press:
“A year ago federal officials trucked 116 spawning salmon to the upper San Joaquin River in Central California and invited media to watch them swim free for the first time since a dam cut off the river’s flow a half century ago.
“The effort to see if gravel riverbeds still could sustain eggs cost $237,000. A few months later, the offspring died.”
