A coalition of Michigan tribes is on mission to restore Arctic grayling to Michigan rivers. The fish was once an important food source, but it hasn’t been seen in nearly a century. The coalition just released thousands of fingerlings for the second year in a row hoping they can start repopulating on their own. A similar effort focused on Alewives in Maine is showing signs of success after three decades.

In Alaska, restoration of once-plentiful salmon populations is a priority for the more than 20 tribes that just signed a co-management agreement with the federal government. The new Bering Sea Interior Conservation District is a unique collaboration to manage habitat and harvests in order to improve salmon numbers for subsistence fishers.
