With Dams Removed, Salmon Will Have the Run of a Western River
Briefly

"For decades, there has been little salmon for the tribes to cook, sell or use in religious ceremonies. The Yurok's 60th annual Salmon Festival this summer served none of its namesake fish."
"Four giant dams on the Klamath are being razed as part of the largest dam removal project in U.S. history, a victory for the tribes who have led a decades-long campaign to restore the river."
"The salmon are going to their spawning grounds for the first time in 100 years... There's a sense of pride. There's a sense of health and wellness."
"Of the 150 removals on the West Coast in the past decade double that of the previous decade... most have benefited salmon."
