Michigan sturgeon make a comeback

Seeing a tagged sturgeon return to spawn in Michigan’s Upper Black River is a huge win for local wildlife. After decades of decline, these ancient fish are finally bouncing back, thanks to 20 years of teamwork from researchers and conservationists. The fact that hatchery-raised sturgeon are now thriving and returning to their natural spawning grounds means the restoration efforts are working. With more rivers reopened and dams removed, sturgeon populations are slowly recovering. It’s a reminder of how much impact we can have when we invest in our environment. What do you think—are we doing enough to protect our local wildlife? #Science #Michigan #Sturgeon
