Bringing the white sturgeon back to the upper Columbia River is a large and difficult undertaking. What you know about white sturgeon may be useful and Recovery Team members invite you to pass this information along. In particular, sighting of a white sturgeon or finding a dead or dying white sturgeon offers researchers valuable information and should be reported immediately.
