Can We Teach Whitefish to Love Rivers? | Great Lakes Now

In many areas of the #GreatLakes, whitefish are struggling to maintain their population. #invasivespecies and #climatechange related habitat changes are keeping young #whitefish from making it to adulthood. One experiment conducted by ‪@michigandnr‬, ‪@TheNatureConservancy‬, the Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians, the Bay Mills Indian Community, and ‪@littletraversebaybandsofod366‬ aims to help them out by returning them to river spawning runs which were lost more than a century ago.
