Yurok Tribal Council Member Phillip Williams shares insights into the profound, yet often overlooked long-term benefits that Klamath dam removal & ongoing river restoration efforts promise for the Yurok people. This work will also create positive change for all who love salmon & healthy rivers.
Yurok Fisheries Department Director Barry McCovey talks about the Klamath River’s amazing progress 1 year after the world’s largest dam removal project. This fall, for the first time more than a century, chinook salmon made it to all the major tributaries that were previously blocked
This week, there were hundreds if not thousands of brown pelicans, cormorants and osprey feeding on bait fish in the Klamath River estuary and plume. This is another sign the river is healing in response to dam removal.
