Telemetry Surveys: Tracking Life Beneath the Surface
USACE Sacramento District team members prepare to depart after lowering the last Juvenile Salmon Acoustic Telemetry System (JSATS) receiver needed for the telemetry survey conducted at the Sacramento River and North Delta on Sept. 10, 2025, in Stockton, California. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District environmental managers and Bryte Yard craftsmen collaborate and conduct telemetry surveys to close critical data gaps on green sturgeon passage in the lower Sacramento River, providing valuable information to partner agencies for setting river flow requirements, managing dam releases, and improving the survival of this federally protected species.
