Kootenai Sturgeon Plan

Endangered species

The public has until Sept. 30 to comment on a federal plan to spare the Kootenai River white sturgeon from extinction.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposals call for increased flows from Libby Dam to stimulate reproduction in the sturgeon.

The plan is available from the Fish and Wildlife Service, 11103 E. Montgomery Drive, Suite 2, Spokane, WA 99206.
