With Chinook salmon facing lethally high stream temperatures, scientists deploy a new device to help manage the dwindling supply of cold water that the fish need to survive.
NOAA Fisheries’ Northeast Salmon Team works cooperatively with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Maine Department of Marine Resources, and the Penobscot Nation to recover Atlantic salmon.
The forecast calls for the first significant pulse of Chinook salmon to cross the Yukon River Delta around June 15 this year, and the half way point of the run is expected to occur around June 23.
