The U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a $133,333.34 Project Grant under the Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund (CFDA 15.615) program to the State of Utah, Division of Wildlife Resources. The grant supports efforts to raise 20,000 June Sucker, a threatened fish species native to Utah Lake, over a one-year period from July 2024 to June 2025. The goal is to safeguard the species from extinction by growing the fish to 300 mm in length at a hatchery and then stocking them into Utah Lake or a grow-out facility, as part of ongoing population augmentation and recovery activities for this protected species. The grant aligns with the mission of the Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund to provide financial assistance to states for threatened and endangered species conservation, including habitat management, population monitoring, and captive breeding efforts.
