Provo River Delta Updates

What's the point or theory in this other then to spend money?

The whole thing...just like the "carp eradication" program (failed) is the brainchild of the June Sucker Recovery Program.  They want the baby Junies to have more cover and protection from predators after they spawn.  So they split the river up into several shallow channels and ponds rather than one good outflow. (Let all the other fish we fish for find their own way upstream and downstream for their spawning) 

I am as environmentally minded as most Utahns...and oppose any species going extinct because of man-created ecological problems.  But in some cases I think the "Chicken Littles" get a bit carried away to the detriment of all other species.  Millions of dollars spent to net carp and reroute a river that was doing just fine already...all in the name of protecting one essentially worthless species. 

Now pardon me while I change addresses to avoid the folks with hoods and burning crosses.
