That's a wrap for the York River! 🎉 We collected eDNA samples at 8 locations along the river to detect saprolegnia, striped bass, rainbow trout, and Atlantic salmon. Next up: the St. Anne and Cascapedia Rivers!

It's unbelievable to me that the jobs of USGS scientists—who are essential to understanding and protecting fish and fisheries—are at risk. Their work is absolutely critical.
All of the USGS ecosystems folks I know are amazing scientists and humans. The Great Lakes and their fishes would be lost without them
The USGS Ecosystems Mission Area, the foundation of the science that informs fish and wildlife management, disease response, and conservation policy across the U.S., is at risk. We're joining @nationalwildlife.bsky.social in a virtual rally on May 22 - register now: www.mobilize.us/nwf/event/79...
