1. Our dams were removed

and it has been an incredible event. The salmon that had been slamming into the dams ( no fish ladders for 100 years) found their way back to their spawning grounds within a year. Animals moved back to the river immediately. The silt has gone down river and created new beaches where it goes into the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

Much of the area is cordoned off into plots for researchers. What they learned may help Klamath River work.
