Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

In our presentation, we will be researching and presenting the historical, and current effects in the Eel River regarding the invasive Sacramento Pike Minnow. This fish was introduced into the Eel River watershed in 1962 and has been an issue for people who depend on the river for the past 45 years. The pike minnow is a species that eats juvenile salmonids (salmon, trout, steelhead). Salmonids are extremely important to the eco-system as well as the people who rely on it. The Wiyot people depend on healthy salmon runs each and every year as a source of food, and more importantly in today's day and age, a source of income.
