Day 12: Wednesday, July 17.
Today was an interesting day. We met with Alex Gonyaw
again to talk about The Klamath Tribes aquatics program. This programs
specializes in fish and tribes habitat. The main tribes being Modoc, Klamath
and Yahouskin. The main thing that caught my attention was the fish going
extinct. The C-waam ( lost river sucker) and Koptu (short nose sucker). This
fish have between 10 to 15 years until they go completely extinct if we don’t
do nothing about it. Some of the causes of extinction are drowning of marches
and water quality. Most of the fish that are alive now are the same ones of
each year. Most new spawn fish don’t survive the water quality or are kill by
their competition. Then we went to Hagelstein County Park. In that park there’s
a little lake not that big but the only lake where short nose sucker fish are
able to live without dying. The problem is that it’s a public park and people
can fish and swim in the lake, that’s not good for the almost extinct fish.
