Two hundred years ago, the ecosystem of Utah Lake could have been summed up like a child's rhyme: Utah Lake was alive with the birds that ate the fish that ate the bugs that ate the aquatic plants that thrived beneath the waters of the lake. Today, those aquatic plants are gone, and with them has disappeared nearly every natural process in the lake, said Chris Keleher, conservation biologists with the recovery program. "When aquatic plants are gone, then all the bugs that lived on them leave and the fish disappear," he said. "It's a big cascade effect." It is Keleher's job to get the plans back-a process that is expected to take 50 years and cost hundreds of millions of dollars. The disappearance of the underwater plants is not a mystery. It began when raw sewage, filled with phosphorus, phospho-rus, was dumped into the lake. With no drain, the phosphorus built up over decades, acting as a fertilizer to blue-green algae. "As the algae thrived, it shaded out the sun, causing the underwater under-water plant population to Flu found in four Influenza continues to hit the Wasatch Front early this season. As of last Wednesday, Wednes-day, 86 influenza cases have been reported to the Utah Department of Health (UDOH), all type A. The cases range in age from 1 month to 86 years, the majority ma-jority (66) are under age 5, and 18 people have been hospitalized. Cases have been reported in Salt Lake (81), Summit (1), Wasatch (1) and Utah (3) counties. Of the 86 cases, 57 have been laboratory-confirmed; 21 cases were diagnosed through rapid testing. Utah's flu season typically runs from November through March with most cases occurring oc-curring in January and February. Feb-ruary. During the 2002-03 influenza season, influenza cases were not reported until mid-December and the total case count for the season was 353 cases. The UDOH tracks influenza (flu) activity by reports of patients diagnosed with influenza (laboratory-confirmed), (laboratory-confirmed), reports of patients pa-tients with influenza-like symptoms (clinically , diagnosed), diag-nosed), by monitoring absenteeism absen-teeism at schools throughout .. the state and by monitoring the rates of influenza-like illness at 38 sentinel healthcare health-care clinics.

"In a turbid state, the lake is dominated by blue-green algae," Keleher said. "They can reproduce in such quantities quanti-ties that they shade everything every-thing else out." As the aquatic plants died off, the June sucker fish also began to decline. Native only to Utah Lake, it was added to the list of federally protected pro-tected species in 1986. Today at least eight federal, feder-al, state and local agencies belong toand fund-the June Sucker Recovery Program, said Reed Harris, director of the recovery program. Success Suc-cess will only come when the fish are able to live to adulthood adult-hood and reproduce without human help-something that has not happened for at least two decades. The problems that must be solved before that will happen are myriad, said Keleher. The first geological survey sur-vey of Utah lake in 1856 showed that water flowed from the mountains to the lake in seven different branches bran-ches of the Provo River. Those branches fanned out into a delta as they neared the lake. Each June .at spawning time, the June sucker swam 1 12 miles upriver to lay their eggs in the gravel of that delta, also called an alluvial fan. Lodged into the gravel for protection, the eggs sat ers to continue vaccinating through December or later, as long as vaccine is available. avail-able. It takes about two weeks after vaccination to develop protection. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved a new' nasal spray influenza vaccine (Flu Mist) for healthy persons aged 5-49 years of age. Not all clinics have Flu Mist available. Some groups of people are more likely to become seriously ill from influenza. Influenza vaccination is most important for people in those high-risk groups which include: in-clude: Healthy children from 6 to 23 months of age. People over the age of 50, especially those with chronic conditions. Those with chronic diseases such as diabetes, asthma, heart disease, or those with suppressed immune im-mune systems (such as cancer can-cer patients or those with AIDS). Those living in long-term long-term care facilities. Healthcare workers. Women who will be more than three month's pregnant during flu season.. Household contacts and others who can transmit influenza to those at high risk. Children under 9 years of age who receive vaccine for the first time need a booster dose one month after the first ft f November 20, 2003 - The Springville Herald - Page Fifteen for up to six weeks before the larval fish hatched out. Not yet strong enough to swim, the young fish simply drifted on the current, protected pro-tected from predators by reeds and grasses along the way. Many of the eggs and fry were eaten by predator fish, but the vegetation protected enough of the young to ensure en-sure an adult June Sucker population numbering in the millions. Now, the ancient alluvial fan has been mostly turned into tract housing. Provo River has been narrowed to one channel, and the last 1 12 miles of that had been diked and dredged, removing both the gravel and the plants the June sucker fry depended on for protection from non-native non-native predator fish such as the white bass. The June sucker population popula-tion has plummeted to 300, Harris said. Thousands of hatchery-raised June sucker have been released into the lake, but so far only . 200 have returned to spawn. No fry have been found to survived sur-vived in the wild. "The river is now a canal rather than a delta," Keleher said. "The 1.5 miles upriver from the lake where the June sucker spawn is full of predators preda-tors and there is no way to get out to the lake. It is a cowries dose. Parents should check with their health care provider provid-er to discuss annual influenza vaccination of healthy children. chil-dren. The cost of the vaccine may be covered by the Vaccines Vac-cines for Children Program for eligible children up to " age 18. Vaccination is the single most important thing you can do to protect yourself from influenza. Hand washing, when done correctly, can also help prevent the spread of influenza. There is more to hand washing than you think! By rubbing your hands vigorously with soapy water, for at least ten seconds, you pull the dirt plus the oily soils free from your skin and wash them away. If you think you have influenza (abrupt onset of fever, muscle aches and pains, cough and or sore throat), you may want- to consult your physician within 24 hours. Prescription antiviral antivi-ral medications can reduce the duration of flu by about one day of taken within two days of when symptoms being. If you get the flu, you should rest, drink plenty of liquids, avoid using alcohol and tobacco, and take medication medi-cation to relieve the symp; toms of flu.

And so it has become clear that saving the June sucker means returning Utah Lake to its formerly pristine condition, Keleher said. That means reducing phosphorus-at phosphorus-at an estimated cost of nearly $230 million-as well as restoring at least part of the historic alluvial fan. In addition, addi-tion, more water must flow into the lake and aquatic plants must be restored. And carp must be removed, re-moved, Keleher said. Introduced to Utah Lake in 1881 as a source of food, carp have now literally taken over the lake. Keleher estimates esti-mates that if all the fish in Utah Lake could be weighed, 90.9 percent of that weight would be carp. An estimated 7 million pounds of carp are removed from Utah Lake by commercial commer-cial fishermen every year, but even that effort seems to make no dent in their population. popula-tion. As bottom feeders, the fish root through the mud destroying any aquatic plants that may take hold. Until carp populations are permanently perma-nently reduced by at least 75 percent, scientists estimate that the bottom of Utah Lake will remain as vegetationless mud. "Carp root around in the. mud and it doesn't allow the plants to come back," Keleher Kele-her said. To make matters worse, the carp routinely eat the mud, stirring up decades of phosphorus trapped in the sediment. Once in the water, that phosphorus is simply more fertilizer for the algae, Keleher said. "Next year we will do a study to see if it is feasible to take the carp out of the lake using mechanical methods, but it has to be cost-effective," he said, noting that the study would also detail how much such an effort might cost. Restoring all of Utah Lake to a clear-water state in one step is impossible, he said. However, the recovery team has some conceptual ideas of how small areas could be turned into managed sanctuaries. Enclosed from -the rest of the lake, only phosphorus-free water would be allowed in, and aquatic plants could be cultivated. June sucker fry could be raised to adulthood before being released into the surrounding sur-rounding lake. Keleher emphasizes that such plans are only concepts now, but if small sanctuaries could be successfully managed, man-aged, the next step might be to turn all of Provo Bay into a clear-water sanctuary. "And if. the public saw small success, they might say, 'Let's do the whole lake,'" he said. "It's going to take a long time-it took 150 years to get it the way it is now. What we should do is get it back to a clear lake, but what we will do depends largely upon the residents of Utah County." Public support will need to include lakeside landowners landown-ers agreeing to sell land at fair prices, he said. There is agricultural ground near the area where the Provo River meets Utah Lake that could be returned to an alluvial-fan state, but as development encroaches, time is running out to purchase the land.
