ABC News - Chemical treatment to be deployed against invasive fish in Colorado River

Oh glorious river, you flow clear and strong
With a hint of life and nature so long
But these unwelcomed guests, they'll not last
For the National Park Service is here at last
To rid this river of these pesky fish with a blast

KUNC - Meet the Colorado Riverā€™s newest ā€“ and youngest ā€“ power player

by for :

"The Colorado River is governed by more than a century of legal agreements, most of which were hammered out by generations of older white men. The ranks of the river's top policy negotiators have begun to diversify in recent years, including more women and people of color, but still tend to skew older. [JB] Hamby's inclusion marks the first time a member of Generation Z will be at the negotiating table, making deals for the Southwest's most important water source."
