A team from Urban Rivers and Shedd Aquarium is creating 3,000 square feet of floating habitat that will be anchored south of Canal Origins Park to form an archipelago capable of supporting all manner of wildlife.
“There’s the opportunity to maybe even do more to increase the populations, to maybe bring back some other species that haven’t been in the area,” Murchie said. “We’re already seeing resiliency in the fish species that are here, now let’s see how much better we can make things for them after they’ve endured all this time.”
Shedd scientists will monitor fish movement throughout the river — via a technology called acoustic telemetry — to see how species make use of the habitat at the Wild Mile, in the South Branch and points in between. “There’s not really a playbook,” he said. “So it’s a lot of experimentation, testing out a lot of things, figuring out how it goes.”
“Fish are one piece of a really diverse ecosystem,” Wegner said. “We need the whole ecosystem to be climate resilient, to be contributing to our clean air and water.”
