This year, the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail released a new story map highlighting significant issues impacting an important species along the trail. As part of the Virtual Student Federal Service (VSFS) program, Carolyn Subramaniam developed a story map entitled Dams and Salmon: Struggling to Survive in the Snake River. This story map is a web resource that integrates interactive maps, text, and other multimedia to share information on how four federal dams impact salmon in the Lower Snake River of the Pacific Northwest.
