Join biologist Dr. Luke Etchison to hear about how our fishes, mussels, and crayfish are doing in WNC following Hurricane Helene. He will discuss the challenges our river critters are up against and how we can recover them. Luke\u2019s experience navigating the choppy waters of hurricane recovery for people and species led to many lessons learned that will help us protect our species from the next natural disaster.<\/p>\n
