A conservation group used 200,000 lbs. of explosives to breach levees and flood about 2,500 acres of land it owns to restore wetlands and help save an endangered fish.

The Shortnose Sucker and Lost River Sucker were declared endangered in 1988. The Nature Conservancy and scientists believe the main cause of the Suckers' decline was the loss of marshlands in the lower parts of the Williamson River in Klamath County, Oregon. Some of that habitat had been converted into farmland in the 1950s when about 22 miles of dikes were constructed.
