"This is a monumental achievement - not just for the Klamath River but for our entire state, nation, and planet," Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement. "By taking down these outdated dams, we are giving salmon and other species a chance to thrive once again, while also restoring an essential lifeline for tribal communities who have long depended on the health of the river."
"The tribally led effort to dismantle the dams is an expression of our sacred duty to maintain balance in the world," Yurok tribal chairman Joseph L. James said in a statement. "That is why we fought so hard for so long to tear down the dams and bring the salmon home."
