For the first time in more than a century, salmon are swimming freely along the Klamath River and its tributaries, just days after the largest dam removal project in US history was completed.
I am incredibly humbled to witness this moment and share this news, standing on the shoulders of decades of work by our Tribal partners, as the salmon return home.
While dam removal is complete, recovery will be a long process. Conservation groups and tribes, along with state and federal agencies, have partnered on a monitoring program.
Scientists will use sonar technology to continue to track migrating fish including Chinook salmon, Coho salmon and steelhead trout throughout the fall and winter.
