Restoring Native Fish

Description

"What are those folks doing in the creek?" Grand Canyon National Park has been conducting a multi-year project to reduce the number of non-native fish in Bright Angel Creek in order to benefit native fish populations. Grand Canyon's native fish are uniquely adapted to the characteristics of the Colorado River and its tributaries and have suffered serious declines due to human-caused changes to their habitat. Spend a Minute Out In It with our Fisheries Crew as they use electrofishing to restore native fish.
