Uplifting news from the Klamath River! A new study confirms salmon populations are thriving after dam removals, demonstrating a remarkable ecological recovery. 🌊🐟 #KlamathRiver #SalmonThrive #DamRemoval #EcologySuccess
Salmon Are Thriving After Klamath River Dam Removals, Study Finds
Hydroelectric dams can be tremendous power generation solutions, relatively sustainable compared to other options. However, old unused or inefficient dams can be removed in favor of more modern options. When river dams are removed, salmon re-enter breeding grounds very quickly. A similar thing was previously observed when the Elwha River dams were removed as well. This leads to myriad ecosystem revitalization effects. https://youtu.be/Q3ooEH3cGHs?is=dtfbFdDcFe5zYeFU

The Klamath Tribes couldn’t get federal dollars for salmon. Then the Yurok stepped in - High Country News
For more than 100 years, salmon had been absent from the Klamath Tribe’s lands — a fact that cut them off from funding sources to fix that.

In the wake of dam removal on the #KlamathRiver in the #PacificNorthwest, conservation crews have helped plant and seed thousands of native trees and other vegetation.

#Salmon have responded in kind!

The image depicts a monochromatic scene centered around the logging industry. It features numerous logs scattered across what appears to be a river or large body of water, indicative of a log drive operation where floating wood is transported downstream from tree-cutting sites upstream. The logs vary in size and are either stacked neatly on land or partially submerged in the water. A worker can be seen standing among the logs, likely involved in managing or inspecting them as part of their job responsibilities within this industry setting. In contrast to the workers' activity, another individual is observed working with a large piece of equipment that appears designed for handling and moving timber. The landscape includes hills or mountains faintly visible on the horizon under an overcast sky, suggesting a remote location typical for logging operations in Oregon's Klamath County. The general atmosphere exudes laboriousness amidst the industrial setting, capturing the essence of historical forestry practices as photographed by Dorothea Lange and documented within her General caption number 61 collection at Mill pond on the Klamath River beyond. The image provides a glimpse into a past era where manual handling was prevalent in logging operations before mechanization took over. It serves as a visual testament to human endeavor, teamwork, and resilience against nature's f [...]
