The diversion dam on the Lower Yellowstone River impeded upstream migration of many native fish species, including the endangered pallid sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus albus). This project built a headworks, weir, and fish bypass channel to open access to 266 additional kilometers of the river for fish migration, spawning, and larval development.

Nature-Based Solutions Case Study Search
This database contains over 400 implementations of nature-based solutions. Use the filters to identify the case studies most relevant to you.
While all cases here exemplify applications of NBS strategies, they were gathered from various sources and not all were written using the framing of nature-based solutions. To qualify as a nature-based solution, a project must provide benefits to both people and nature. In some instances, the human benefits are present but not emphasized in the case write ups; these cases were included because they still provide useful information to learn from.

Researching Bullfrog Establishment Pathways and Control Techniques in the Yellowstone River, Montana
Scientists from USGS conducted research to study the ecological factors that facilitate bullfrog spread in the Yellowstone River and tested suppression methods. They conducted habitat modeling and detected 58 sits along 107 km of the river. Multiple field techniques were used to remove bullfrogs at various life stages from sites identified with bullfrog breeding.
