New habitat for juvenile fish is increasing dramatically in the Elwha River estuary and the shoreline of Freshwater Bay, a survey found last week. Sediment pouring out of the Elwha River after dam-removal work is causing a number of changes, said Anne Shaffer of the Coastal Watershed Institute, which organized the Friday field day.

A new population of Pacific herring, a cornerstone of the marine food web that has been in serious decline, has been found in Elliott Bay. Is it a sign of better times? Read more in Crosscut.

Exploitation is one of the major causes of extinction. More than 120 species have become extinct at least in part because of hunting, fishing and logging, including the famous Passenger Pigeon. Wildlife continues to be threatened on land and in the oceans, from whales to elephants. Theoretically, hunting a species to extinction should be really hard. But a new study co-authored by Trevor Branch on Aquatic and Fishery Sciences suggests reckless exploitation isn’t the only threat. Read more on The Conversation.

Imagine having a daylong Thanksgiving feast every day for a month, then, only pauper’s rations the rest of the year. University of Washington researchers have discovered Dolly Varden, a kind of trout, eating just that way in Alaska’s Chignik Lake watershed. Read more about this research in UW Today.
