Located in Plymouth, Massachusetts, Tidmarsh Farms was a cranberry bog for nearly a century, producing up to 1 percent of Ocean Spray’s entire annual harvest. Over the last few decades, the technology of cranberry farming has changed, leaving many coastal farms - including Tidmarsh - struggling.

Project supporters gathered at the Piscataquis and Penobscot rivers to celebrate completion of the third and final step of the 16-year Penobscot River Restoration Project: the “big river” that was built around the Howland Dam. The project opens access to more than 1,000 miles of river, stream and lake habitat to fish, including river herring, [...]

Construction began on a unique side channel restoration project on Washington's Methow River with the Yakima Nation Fisheries' Upper Columbia Habitat Restoration Project. The focus of the $2.6 million "1890s Side Channel Restoration Project" is to build a spring-fed infiltration gallery that benefits juvenile salmon during their peak stressful months: cold winter and hot summer. Curious about [...]
A few Inter-Fluve staff (Greg Koonce, Mike McAllister, and Josh Epstein) had the rare opportunity to observe several Pacific Lamprey spawning along a 2,500-foot long side channel of Washington's East Fork Lewis River. While not officially listed, Pacific lamprey have declined in abundance due to a variety factors similar to salmon. Historically widespread along the [...]
