## Resource

Montana’s DEQ unveiled new water quality findings in Divide, spotlighting pollution sources and algae blooms threatening fish habitats in the Big Hole River—a vital resource for anglers, ranchers, and nature lovers alike. These blooms deplete oxygen, endangering aquatic life, but solutions exist: keeping livestock out of water and restoring riparian vegetation can drastically reduce pollution. Conservationists like Brian Wheeler are pushing for science-backed action, while rancher Erik Kalsta supports DEQ efforts but warns against one-sided data use, urging collaboration. The river’s future hinges on balancing industry, conservation, and recreation to ensure its health for generations. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
