Toledo Zoo invites community to help with lake sturgeon release

Thousands of lake sturgeons are now swimming in the Maumee River.

It's all a part of the Toledo Zoo's plan to keep the fish alive and populated in northwest Ohio.

The annual Sturgeon Fest took place at the city of Toledo boat launch in south Toledo on Saturday.

The event makes releasing the endangered fish an interactive family activity but it's much more than that.

It's also one of the many conservation efforts the zoo considers a part of its mission.
