USGS Scientists to Present at 58th Biennial American Fisheries Society (AFS) Cal-Neva Meeting

Aquatic ecology scientists from the USGS California Water Science Center will be present their research at the 2024 AFS California-Nevada Chapter Meeting to be held April 9th through the 12th, in Redding, California.
The theme for the event, "Breaching the Dam: Building Partnerships," will focus on the resilience of Native American tribes, competing interests in a water-limited environment, and of native ecosystems and fishes in the face of significant hydrologic perturbations and uncertainty.
