The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will receive more than $3.9 million from the Biden Administration’s “Investing in America” agenda for a project that will benefit lake sturgeon populations by reconnecting 20 miles of spawning habitat in the Upper Otter Tail River in the Red River Basin, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced Tuesday, April 23.

The funding is part of a package of more than $70 million that will help fund 43 projects in 29 states to improve fishing passage around outdated or obsolete dams, culverts, levees and other barriers fragmenting the nation’s rivers and streams.
