    This was a pretty good series, but I I wish you could have spent more time documenting the fact that thousands of salmon have been documented spawning in more than 5 tributaries and the mainstem well above the uppermost dam site. The fact is, when the dams were removed, the salmon wasted no time in utilizing the habitat above those dams.
    This project has been completed ahead of schedule and has been much more successful than most people expected.
    You could have easily devoted more time to the successful aspects such as all the salmon spawning just weeks after the final breaching of the cofferdam, and less time to the misinformation being spread by a small number of uninformed locals.
    Thank you for choosing to spend so much time and effort reporting on this monumental project.

      thats because the salmon were forced up stream to find clean clear water after the dam removal killed everything below and stilled over all the old salmon gravel spawning beds

      ​@@kryan318So either that sediment found its way up the tributaries below the dams, or the salmon chose not to spawn in the tributaries, and instead chose to continue migrating through the silty mainstem? Come on. The fact is, the salmon thrived in the Klamath River for tens of thousands of years prior to the dams being built. It wasn't until the dams were built that salmon numbers declined precipitously.
      To put it in simple terms that anyone can understand, those fish have been spawning above the former dam sites for tens, or even hundreds of thousands of years. They have evolved to spawn up there. It's simple, as soon as the dams were removed, the salmon went back to doing what they had always done. It's not that complicated.
      What's complicated is why so many people feel the need to try to dream up some conspiracy! There is no conspiracy! The dams were removed to allow the salmon access to historical habitat, and to improve water quality by removing three huge reservoirs that were warming the river, concentrating nutrients and growing tons of toxic blue-green algae. Don't try to make this any more complicated than it is.

    I don't get why people don't understand that it takes time for a river system to clean itself out after being opened up from 100 years of stagnation. All those contaminates didn't come from nature, they came from decades of buildup from industry, dumping, spills, boating and many other reasons too I'm sure. Personally I'd rather have a river then a few lakes that only a few can enjoy......they literally just opened up miles of public lands and a corridor of endless surprise for all to enjoy and those who once had lake front now have front row seats to something special.

    • @eh3477
      @eh3477 Месяц назад +2

      Correct that a river takes time to regain health. But this is a very rural area, and sediments and metals heavy just built up over 100 years behind the dams in the warm lakes that were artificially created there. There was no industry to speak of. The area is all private property, formerly owned by the power company. Some of it will be given back to tribes. None of it is actually public land, such as a park. The locals just got used to living next to free undeveloped land, but it was NEVER actually a park for their benefit.

  • @thebestofthewild
    @thebestofthewild 6 дней назад +3

    The real essence of what is missing both in opponents and proponents of dam removal is the sad reality that very few, if any of them know what a free flowing river that holds historic and intact salmon runs even looks like. In Alaska we have negatively effected our salmon runs, but you can still see. On the Kamchatka Peninsula there are still a few rivers with close to intact runs. It would blow all of their minds to see millions of Pink Salmon, Chum Salmon, King Salmon, Coho Salmon and Sockeyes all in a system, all overlapping in their spawning and the jaw dropping abundance that free flowing, clean and productive rivers produce!

    8:30. I'm sorry for the inconvenience of the folks near the lake, but this project has been discussed for over 20 years, and the planning for a dozen years. They bought the store AFTER the dam removal plans were underway. His analogy is completely f@lse. They bought land next to a PRIVATE lake... these were never publicly maintained parks.
    There's no permanent structure such as a FREEWAY being built. In fact, they're getting more FREE access to property: it's now riverfront, instead of lakefront. If these had been real PUBLIC parks, they would've had to share with thousands of visitors and traffic. The people here had a good deal to be ne t to private lakes - for FREE- it doesn't last forever. A responsible journalist would have corrected his false analogy.

    Funny how no one has mentioned the loss of flood protection for the people who live along the Klamath. And without the continual release of water from the dams you will have more die offs in the river during the summer. And the projection of a couple wet years to remove the sediment is ridiculous, we are lucky to have one wet year per decade. Looking back we should have not built any dams on the Klamath, but I have benefited from the diverse fishing opportunities provided by Irongate and Copco Lakes. And from the cheap electricity provided by the dams.

    • @GeorgeWHaydukeIII6396
      @GeorgeWHaydukeIII6396 19 дней назад +1

      If you do a little research, you'll find out the dams provided very little, if any flood protection at all. They are too high in the system.
      And as for the power they produced, it was insignificant because the dams were old and inefficient, 1920's and 1950's technology. They needed major maintenance and expensive upgrading to be brought up to modern standards.
      As far as the fishing, it wasn't going to last much longer, the toxic bluegreen algae was getting so bad that you could hardly fish there after mid June and before mid October. It was fun 20 years ago, I used to bass fish in both of them, but over the last 5 or 6 years 👎🤮
      The Yellow perch, LM bass and crappie weren't supposed to be there anyways. Besides, the river will recover, and in about ten years there will be a healthy population of salmon and steelhead that will replace the bass and perch. And I'll take 30 pound salmon or a 15 pound steelhead over 8" perch any day!
      Bottom line, it was time for them to go.

It seems a non brainer to spend millions of dollars to restore the river system to what it once was rather than to spend millions of dollars on a concrete wall for a system that is now obsolete, I guess to maintain it so it doesn’t burst to catastrophic effect. And I get it that when you built your house it had lovely lake views, and now it won’t. But it is a view for the few. And you may have a view of a flowing river instead. And tourist dollars may diminish from lake activities to be replaced by fishing activities. And visitors may come to the region to see what happens when you remove a dam wall. Mother Nature is quite robust and with a helping hand from us humans, hopefully it won’t take too long for all the ungliness to disappear and the river to be beautiful once more.

    I believe the dam removal is ultimately a good thing for the land and those who rely on the river for life but as far as those who paid to have lakeside property should at least be somehow compensated by the state(s) & or federal government for the depreciation of their property as well as creating a greater fire hazard for the area. It’s easy to relate with both groups who are being affected but I ultimately believe that dams should be removed. Those who rely on them need to find another source of life because a dammed lake is completely unnatural

      These were PRIVATE lakes on private property , behind aging, medium sized dams. While they do have kinda nice lakefront property, it was likely very inexpensive when they bought it. It's very rural, and scorching hot in the summer... Not exactly a tourist mecca. They got to enjoy private lakeside property, for FREE, for dozens of years. They were never publicly owned or maintained parks, which they would've had to share with thousands of visitors.
      The dam removal project has some funds available for compensation, and their lazy county representatives should have advocated for them. But the feds or state government doesn't owe these entitled people, at all.

      @@jeremyatkinson4976 Well, we could expect a smoother way, a non destructive way of doing it. Without killing thousands of fish and millions of invertebrates along the stream.
      Is that too much to ask ?
      Empty the lake slowly, remove most of the sediments captured behind the dam, etc. Taking environmental safety measures, and above all, not using dynamite.
      If you said it was all planned for, it's even more scary. So they planned to destroy all life in the river for months and restart from scratch, from zero ??
      A clean dam removing like this should take several years to complete in a safe way for everyone..

      @@eh3477 Is that ok to uselessly kill plenty of fish under the excuse that they are not an endangered species ??
      They lost all the fish downstream on several miles, which are native and migrating species, they lost millions of invertebrates, insects, frogs and such, and probably also some small mammals or birds which were stuck in the mud.
      All of that could be avoided by using cleaner methods of dam removal. It's not like there"s only one devastating way of doing it.

      @@manfredstrappen7491 your misinformation statement is incorrect the water from the dams is not warmed suface water, it comes from the bottom of the lake which is colder and helps to keep the temperature cooler and and oxygenated even during the hot summer months.

      ​@@kryan318Please show your data on this topic. While some dams do release colder water from the bottom of the lakes they create, this wasn't the case for these dams. They consistently created significantly warmer conditions on the river below the dams, and there's many years of data showing this.
