Largest U.S. Dam Removal Nears Completion, Restoring Salmon Passage on Klamath River
Aug 28, 2024, 07:00 PM
The removal of four dams on the Klamath River, located near the California-Oregon border, is nearing completion, marking the largest dam removal project in U.S. history. This initiative, which has been in the planning stages for decades, will allow salmon to swim freely along the more than 400 miles of the river and its tributaries for the first time in over a century. The 250-mile Klamath River will return to its historical course, restoring critical habitats and reviving hopes for salmon populations. The project is the result of collaborative efforts by state, federal, and tribal leaders to address past environmental impacts and restore the river ecosystem.
