US Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District Rivers Project Office monitors Lake Sturgeon spawn, during April 2023, at the Melvin Price Locks and Dam in West Alton, Mo. The two Lake Sturgeon are actively spawning leaving their eggs to attach to the rock substrate along the riverbank. The district and Missouri Department of Conservation, in partnership with the Sustainable Rivers Program, joined efforts three years ago to monitor the highly dynamic aquatic processes that allow for spawning of the state endangered species and plan to continue with monitoring and adapting management plans to focus on restoration and protection of habitat areas while fostering awareness of the need for protection of this species.
