Klamath Chairman William Ray said his tribe had fished the last salmon out of the river in the early 20th century after the first of the dams, Copco I, stopped fish from coming upstream to spawn.
The project's goals include reviving the river’s ecosystem and enabling chinook and coho salmon to swim upstream and spawn along 400 miles of the Klamath and its tributaries. Salmon are central ...
For the first time in more than a century, salmon will soon have free passage along the Klamath River and its tributaries — a major watershed near the California-Oregon border — as the largest ...
PHOENIX – The last of the four dams that nearly destroyed salmon populations on the Klamath River at the California-Oregon border was demolished last week, marking a significant victory for ...
The Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement (KBRA) is a document that aimed to: help restore Riparian Zones along much of the rivers in the Klamath Basin; remove 4 Hydroelectric dams on the Klamath River with the goal of salmon restoration; provide irrigation water assurances for Klamath Basin farmers
California has released 500,000 salmon into the Klamath River. As dams are removed, the fish will be some of the first to return to a free-flowing river.
The Klamath River reached flows of 557,000 cubic feet per second (15,800 m 3 /s), [49] with high water reaching 55 feet (17 m), inundating the towns of Klamath and Klamath Glen under as much as 15 feet (4.6 m) of water, [50] and destroying most of the Highway 101 bridge crossing the river. The highway bridge was rebuilt in a different location ...
