You can help protect the Spokane River by collecting crayfish for analysis! We are partnering with the University of Idaho to monitor crayfish for mercury in the Spokane River and we need your help to catch crayfish in the Spokane River.
Mercury is pervasive in our environment and the Spokane River, along with other pollutants such as PCBs. We've teamed up with scientists from the University of Idaho Water Resources Research Institute to monitor crayfish for mercury. These data will be contributed to studies throughout the Columbia Basin and used to assess crayfish and river health.
