The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says a warning has been lifted against using the water of southern Lake Champlain. That follows the application of chemicals to kill sea lamprey in two Vermont rivers.
For
the first time in 30 years, a new strategic plan for managing fish populations
in Lake Champlain has been adopted. Biologists have tried to figure out how to protect
all 88 species of fish that call the lake home.
