Klamath salmon are spawning in the Williamson River 4 the 1st time since the early 1900s. This pivotal moment is a testament to decades of activism, rigorous scientific research & advocacy from Klamath Basin Indigenous communities & allies. Photos by Paul Wilson/Klamath Tribes

USGS researchers are working with Tribal, nonprofit, academic, state and federal partners to better understand dam removal in the Klamath River and to explore how salmon repopulate habitats open again for the first time in over 100 years.
This dam removal project, the largest in U.S. history, opened over 400 miles of habitat to Chinook salmon, coho salmon, and steelhead!
Learn more about this project in the video produced by California Trout, linked below.

How are native fish responding to dam removal on the Klamath River? 🐟
We launched a monitoring program 📊 to answer exactly that question! Check out how we're tracking fish and building a more complete picture of dam removal in our latest video 🎥 youtu.be/TxPCobc9_b8

Ella Humphrey, with the help of a Cabela’s Apprenticeship Research Program stipend and UCARE, is conducting research to examine the effects of climate change on Bigmouth Shiners, a plentiful but small fish in the rivers of the Great Plains.

New research shows that sediment deposition caused by removing dams on the Elwha River in Washington has created new habitats for species in coastal ecosystems. Read the study: ow.ly/SG5i50PMezk
#ElwhaRiver #Ecosystems 🐟
ALT Evolution of the shoreline around the Elwha River mouth, Washington, before, during and after dam removal, 2011–2017. Two large dams were removed from the Elwha River between 2011 and 2014 in the largest dam removal worldwide thus far, releasing more than 20 million tons of sediment downstream. These images show the effects of new sediment depositing around the river mouth and being reworked by waves and currents. The Elwha River and other recent dam-removal sites are generating new understanding of ways in which river and coastal systems respond to human activity. Image from Warrick and others, 2019, Scientific Reports.

Undamming the Klamath just got real. Copco 2 dam is no more. This dam dewatered the channel below it for about 100 years. One down 3 to go, rest to come down early next year. At its heart, dam removal is an act of love, a restoration. #undamtheklamath

...The evil twin of @colbertlateshow host Stephen Colbert who blocks fish & other stream-dwelling residents from accessing important, additional habitat.
TU works to make critical watersheds more like Colbert - free-flowing & without barriers

Very grateful for the @USGS HIVIS Dashboard. There are now ten (10!!!) time lapse cameras along the Platte River. Gage info pictures! No more guessing river conditions before heading out into the field.

🚨New pub alert 🚨
#Sturgeon are one of the most imperiled groups of fishes, yet...
- You can buy live sturgeon on eBay
- Biologists are illegally release captive sturgeon
- Wild sturgeon still support many captive facilities
We've got to do better. afspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.…
