WASHINGTON – The Bureau of Reclamation has announced a $284.8 million investment through President Biden’s Investing in America agenda for long-term conservation projects in collaboration with the Southern Nevada Water Authority, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, and the Coachella Valley Water District.
Late this spring, more than 2,400 endangered fish made a 700-mile journey that ended in a lagoon off the Colorado River in Laughlin, Nevada. It only took them 11 hours.
Instead of navigating rapids and avoiding predators, these rare bonytail made the trip in the temperature-controlled comfort of a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service tanker truck.
They were the year’s final stocking for the Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program, a partnership of 57 entities throughout Arizona, California and Nevada administered by the Bureau of Reclamation.
