#^Roanoke Logperch Removed from Endangered Species List“After reviewing the best available science, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has determined the Roanoke logperch — a large freshwater darter — is no longer at risk of extinction and will be removed from the federal list of endangered and threatened wildlife.
When the Roanoke logperch was listed as endangered in 1989, it was found in 14 streams. Since then, aquatic restoration efforts have created more suitable habitat, and monitoring has identified additional populations. By 2019, the species had more than doubled its range, occupying 31 streams across Virginia’s upper Roanoke, Smith, Pigg, Otter, and Nottoway River systems, Goose Creek, and North Carolina’s Dan, Mayo, Smith River systems and Big Beaver Island Creek.”
