The effects of surgical implantation of miniaturized acoustic transmitters in longfin smelt, Spirinchus thaleichthys

 

PROJECT HIGHLIGHT

This project will study how the surgical implantation of acoustic transmitters impacts longfin smelt — providing essential information that will inform further study of an imperiled and essential species. Understanding how these fish move through the San Francisco Estuary could help protect them from extinction and aid their recovery.

Bridging Science and Community: Engaging Youth in Delta Conservation through the Spinning Salmon Program

 

PROJECT HIGHLIGHT

This project will evaluate and enhance an existing youth-focused science initiative, the Spinning Salmon Program. The program, which engages K-12 students in studying a vitamin deficiency affecting Central Valley Chinook salmon, will be expanded to meet the needs of students in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, including but not limited to Spanish-language resources, helping to create a new pipeline of future scientists.
