The River Brings Everything: Restoring the Klamath
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 май 2022
- Between 1918 and 1965 five dams were built on the Klamath River, cutting off access to the upstream spawning habitat for Steelhead, lamprey and five species of Pacific Salmon.
In 2021 crews will begin removing four of the five dams, reestablishing access to the upper Klamath for anadromous fish and restoring natural flows to one of the largest salmon and steelhead ecosystems on the West Coast of the U.S.

Keep updating us. Excellent short documentary.
I'm excited to see the rebierg of the Klamath,I have faith, watched the Elwha
I hope the dams removal is well documented & the rivers recovery. I just watched videos about the Elwha River. I wish success for this project. I hope to follow the process if this river restoration too.
So far the only thing that has happened is it has wiped out everything, every living creature in the river due to the sludge released. Millions of fish crawdads and everything else that lives in or has perished or is in jeopardy. Deer elk eagles have become stuck in the mud and died.
@@johnhoag2690 Please stop! What you are describing is not true. Where did you look?
I think it's all going to work out. ✌️🍻
Beautiful...
They just killed the Klamath River. The sediment is toxic for years. The food chain and wildlife has been an afterthought. How do I know? I live on the river 4 miles downriver from Irongate. Please educate yourself. Look forward to a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. Whatever happened to common sense people.
The Great Klamath ~ like the fabulous 1000s of streams across the US.

The was excellent. I’m shocked how few views it has
It will be interesting. I’m going to make a trip from Wyoming sometime for summer steelhead.
elwha was a sart, busy cheering on the Klamath
Doing this really messed up the Rogue River. The stilt from taking the dams out killed many fish. Changed the timing of their runs. So Rogue now has a fraction of the salmonoids it did before the dam removal
I am looking at the Rogue river as I write this. From my deck. The River is far from messed up. Removing the dams has improved the river in all ways. If you knew more about the Rogue, you would know that the fish runs are dictated by the hatchery at lost creek res. I see it every year. They can raise the River level over night all the way to the ocean. With the high water the fish can make it from the mouth to the hatchery in less than 48 hours. When the water is that high. The fish zoom through straight to the hatchery. Ask the locals. This has been going on since they built the hatchery. Removing the dams just improved water quality. Not sure how better water is bad for fish.
I recently just went on a guided trip and there was no one else on the river. It was good fishing, but I will probably not go back. I went in winter and all the steelhead are wild and you can't keep any despite hooking them consistently all day. In the fall it gets salmon but so do much closer rivers, I live in the bay area. Anyone driving down the river can tell this area is economically in trouble. All the silt is going to come down and ruin the fishery for the next few years anyway, just after all the silt from the fires recently came down. I think this is being done for starry eyed wishful thinking and not being thought through seriously.
This was well planned and well thought out. This has been in the planning for decades. I am sure your guide had plenty to say to form tour opinion. River guides are motivated by one thing. Not having to go back to their day job.
Two years later fish dying all over the river
Well that was before the killed everything in the Klamath River.
Its a toxic sewer now.
I don't see anyone catching a single fish
In the River for Decades. 😢
Here you are again.
