title | dcterms:title | Trenches Dug for Landlocked Areas |
description | dcterms:description | Seneca Nation of Indian land within the Allegany Territory that was inundated with the construction of the Allegany Reservoir is only underwater for part of the year. Come Fall of every year, much of the bottom of the Reservoir has begun to dry up as the water reserves are lowered at the discretion of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The exposure to weather and the water fluctuations throughout year expediate the erosion of natural habitat and shoreline and sediment accumulation. Sediment levels within the reservoir have built to the point where spawning and nursery areas are covered, leaving many of the fish species land locked when the annual drawdown for the winter months begins. Once landlocked, tens of thousands of young of year fish die because of oxygen degradation, predation, and water evaporation. The Seneca Nation of Indian's Fish and Wildlife Department works to combat mass fish kills by digging trenches that lead out of those landlocked areas. During the winter months maintenance to the trenches dug in years past is done. The water levels of the landlocked area depicted in the photograph have become too low for fish to use the trench. |
