The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has the largest environmental restoration and sustainability roles in the federal government. The Corps manages waterways for navigation and recreation, and is the steward of nearly 12 million acres of land and waters in 43 states. The Corps works collaboratively to find a balance between human, economic and natural systems. Ecologists for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District tagged 50 steelhead trout and 200 Chinook salmon March 25-27, 2013, at the Coleman National Fish Hatchery in Anderson, Calif., in an effort to study fish behavior along a 75-mile stretch Sacramento River system. Data from the 1-year-olds' downstream journey, will help researchers better evaluate habitat restoration work under the Sacramento River Bank Protection Project - a joint flood risk reduction effort between the district and the state's California Central Valley Flood Protection Board to repair river bank erosion along the Sacramento River and its tributaries.
