January 4, 2021: The Salt Lake Tribune ran a story about the official downgrading of the June sucker from endangered to threatened. This is a huge accomplishment made possible by many dedicated partners and stakeholders over the last several years.
The June Sucker Recovery Implementation Program (JSRIP) is a multi-agency effort designed to coordinate and implement recovery activities for the formerly endangered (now downlisted to "threatened") June sucker, a fish found only in Utah Lake and lower reaches of its tributaries. The program works to balance water resource requirements for humans with species-recovery efforts. The program recognizes the need to continue operation and development of water development projects to meet the Wasatch Front’s growing water demands.
