In an attempt to improve wildlife habitat across the river system, the Utah DWR removed invasive carp from the Old City Park pond last week. With the carp now gone, they’re hoping community members won’t return with their goldfish. That’s because – in partnership with Moab City – the state agency wants to create a stocking area for native roundtail chub, currently listed on Utah’s Sensitive Species List. Plus from our radio partners – the U.S. Interior Department’s energy leasing review is in full swing, and economists increasingly say the climate crisis will flatline the global GDP if emissions aren’t reduced immediately.
