Sturgeon Report

Report a Dead Sturgeon

Data collection can help biologists look at trends over time which in turn can lead to necessary protections for an endangered species like the sturgeon. We are anxious to learn more about where sturgeon live, their daily movements, and threats they face.

If you encounter a sturgeon please contact us at 1-844-STURG 911 (1-844-788-7491)  or via email NOAA.Sturg911@noaa.gov.

Photos are very helpful. Also, if you can report where you saw the fish, how big it was and what condition it was in—this is all helpful information.  

Help and information from citizen scientists is critical to our success in recovering endangered sturgeon. 

Three species of sturgeon reside In the Southeast U.S.

With your help, Clean Water is possible.
