UC Berkeley and Wiyot Tribe NRD collaborate on South Fork Eel River weir

Marisa McGrew from the Wiyot Tribe’s Natural Resources Department and Gabe Rossi and Philip Georgakakos, both research scientists with UC Berkeley, discuss the collaborative effort to install and manage a weir in the river in this EcoNews Report.

The primary purpose of the weir is to remove invasive pikeminnow from the river system and keep them away from prime rearing habitat for salmon and steelhead farther upstream.
