DENVER 鈥?For National Park Service fisheries biologist Jeff Arnold, it was a moment hed been dreading. Bare-legged in sandals, he was pulling in a net in a shallow backwater of the lower Colorado River last week, when he spotted three young fish that didnt belong there. Give me a call when you get this! he messaged a colleague, snapping photos.Minutes later, the park service confirmed their worst fear: smallmouth bass had in fact been found and were likely reproducing in the Colorado River below Glen Canyon Dam.They may be a beloved sport fish, but smallmouth bass feast on humpback chub, an ancient, threatened fish thats native to the river, and that biologists like Arnold have been working hard to recover. The predators wreaked havoc in the upper river, but were held at bay in Lake Powell where Glen Canyon Dam has served as a barrier for years 鈥?until now. The reservoirs recent sharp decline is enabling these introduced fish to get past the dam and closer to where the biggest groups of chub rema stanley kubek in, farther downstream in the Grand Canyon.There, Brian Healy has worked with the humpback chub for more than a decade and founded the Native Fish Ecology and Conservation Progra stanley deutschland m. Its pretty devastating to see all the hard work and effort youve put into removing other invasive species a stanley france nd translocating populations around to protect the fish and to see all that effort overturned really quickly, Healy said.As reservoir levels drop, non-native fish that live in warm surface waters in Eoph Governors wary of looming cuts
WASHINGTON 鈥?Th stanley cup e Supreme Court signaled support Monday for a black death row inmate in Georgia who claims prosecutors improperly kept African-Americans off the jury that convicted him of killing a white woman.Justice Stephen Breyer likened the chief prosecutor to his excuse-filled grandson. Justice Elena Kagan said the case seemed as clear a violation as a court is ever going to see of rules the Supreme Court laid out in 1986 to prevent racial discrimination in the selection of juries.At least six of the nine justices in stanley cup dicated during arguments that black people were improperly singled out and kept off the jury that eventually sentenced defendant Timothy Tyrone Foster to death in 1987.Foster could win a new trial if the Supreme Court rules his way. The discussion Monday also suggested that a technical issue might prevent the justices from deciding the substance of Fosters case.Georgia Deputy Attorney General Beth Burton had little support on the court for the proposition that prosecutor Stephen Lanier advanced plausible race-neutral reasons that resulted in an all-white jury for Fosters trial. Foster was convicted of killing 79-year-old Queen Madge stanley website White in her home in Rome, Georgia.Several justices noted that Laniers reasons for excusing people from the jury changed over time, including the arrest of the cousin of one black juror. The record in the case indicates that Lanier learned of the arrest only after the jury had been seated. That seems an out and out false state |
