The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission are inviting the public to Lampreypalooza on Wednesday.  It’s an afternoon of science, storytelling, and up-close encounters with one of the Northwest’s most ancient native fish.  Lampreypalooza highlights the cultural importance of Pacific lamprey and the efforts to support their recovery.  Visitors can explore live demonstrations, hear from Tribal representatives, and see lamprey up close.  All events are open to the public and take place at Bonneville Dam.  Pacific lamprey are a key species in the Columbia River Basin.  They’re culturally significant to Tribal Nations, play an important role in the food web, and have survived hundreds of millions of years of environmental change.
