RBM presents, Death by a Thousand Cuts: Restoring Stream Connectivity and Flows for Native Fish in the Land of Irrigation Diversions

The above picture is a map made by Trout Unlimited of the irrigation diversions in the Little Blackfoot Valley in Montana.  We used this info to perform the Upper Clark Fork Fish Passage Assessment for the MT Natural Resource Damages Program.

Tomorrow at 4:00 pm, I will be giving a public presentation on the conservation and restoration issues posed by the insane amount of irrigation diversions on Montana streams.  The presentation will be in the Chemistry and Biology Building on the Montana Tech campus in Butte, Montana tomorrow, Sept. 9th 2015.  Come and learn how these diversions affect our native fish and how folks are coming together to restore stream connectivity and stop fish entrainment in irrigation ditches.
