- “To recognize rivers as life-giving forces & as rights-bearing presences is a profound & hopeful position. It offers philosophical grounds for resistance to the present administration’s…drive to gut environmental regulation & reduce the natural world to dollar value” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...
- “It’s proven difficult to track the drift of eggs, baby fish, and sometimes adults over long distances...” The same is true in freshwater and greatly limits our understanding of why fish populations fluctuate as they do

- When the habitats that species rely on are destroyed, the species will disappear. Someday, and I hope not too late, we’ll understand that when we lose a species, we lose so much more. Their fate is intertwined with our own. www.hcn.org/articles/tru...

- Wrecked by another note from a colleague at NOAA-Fisheries announcing their premature retirement (they are coming daily now). I weep for my colleagues and friends, for the fish they dedicated their lives to, and for the people who will be most impacted by these actions
