October 13, 2010 By: Marshall Cutchin

  • USF&W released the final designation for bull trout, expanding protections after the 2005 critical habitat designation was struck down by a federal court. Watch the video on the agency’s YouTube site.
  • Alaskans Michael Booz, Edan Badajos and Meredith Banner float down the Anchor river in dry suites, doing what only biologists are willing to do to help educate anglers about steelhead.
  • The International Thiess River Prize, the “world’s largest environmental prize,” was given to the Thames River yesterday, saluting the work of England’s Environment Agency in helping bring the river back to life.
