conveyance systems, infrastructure, native wildlife, watercrafts and water quality. Individuals can help by inspecting, cleaning, draining and letting equipment dry so that these invasive mussels don't cause significant damage and costly restrictions.</span></p>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Due to current flows and public safety, project managers have temporarily closed recreational entry to the site. The temporary closure will affect access for river recreationists across the highway from the Junction City Campground.
While we had hoped to maintain some level of public access the current launch is on private property, unsafe and inaccessible due to current conditions which led to an unavoidable short-term closure. This will expedite the timeline to a functional river entry
point on public lands, likely mid-July. The river is still accessible a few miles upstream of the project at Sky Ranch or Evans Bar or downstream of the project at Bagdad or Pigeon Point. </span></p>

in California, highlighted by a recent study that revealed the impacts of an exceptionally dry winter on these native fish populations. Researchers Suzanne Rhoades and Cleo Woelfle-Hazard discovered that both species were missing from watersheds, prompting
an extensive investigation that underscored their vulnerability to extreme environmental events. Yet, despite these challenges, the resilience of salmon populations is evident as they repopulated affected sites, reinforcing the importance of biodiversity and
conservation strategies. Join us to explore the findings of this pivotal research and its implications for the future of salmon and their habitats in a changing climate.
