Columbia River Contaminant & Habitat Study (B-roll)
Video shows archival footage of USGS collecting largescale suckers along the lower Columbia River (between Bonneville Dam and estuary). Footage ties into press release entitled: Potentially Harmful Levels of Contaminants Found in Fish in the Columbia River

Shocking! Electrofishing for Largescale Suckers on the Columbia River
In this episode we take to the water and accompany a USGS field crew as they collect largescale suckers (Catostomus macrocheilus) along the lower Columbia River. Using a boat equipped with specialized shocking equipment, researchers stun nearby fish, allowing them to be easily collected and examined.

The Floating Marshes of Louisiana: A Unique Ecosystem
Extensive floating marshes occur in a few locations around the world. Papyrus swamps of tropical Africa occur along the White Nile, the Okavango and Niger deltas, and along the shoreline of Lake Victoria. There are extensive Phragmites swamps in the Danube Delta in Romania. Seasonal and permanent floating meadows are found in the middle Amazon flood plain.
