Students release 750 sturgeon into Sandusky River
Students released 750 juvenile sturgeon into the Sandusky River in Ohio as part of an effort to restore the ancient fish to Lake Erie's watershed. Lake sturgeon, once abundant in the region, disappeared from the river more than a century ago due to overfishing and habitat loss. The release is part of ongoing reintroduction work, with hopes the fish will eventually spawn in the river again.
Why now: Restoring a species absent from the river for over 100 years is a notable conservation milestone drawing local attention.
