Older video, but the message remains unchanged and the concrete is STILL in the river.

This is a MAJOR no-brainer for salmon recovery.

Elwha River dam removals are already a glowing success. Next up.... The Lower Snake Dams.

Let's gitter'dun!

Yes tons and tons of info on this problem and other local dams, and what we have seen in recovery so far from the Elway dam...


And yet, they are STILL gonna put in those (yes THOSE) dams on the Chehalis up at Pe Ell

In 1999, the U.S. had Clinton in the White House and an evangelically fervent environmentalist as VP. It was the right time to tear the lower four dams down and 200 concerned scientists said so. One of them was my brother whose name is on this list.

Idaho Fish and Game tried to have him fired for doing so. The dams are still there. Lewiston is still a "seaport". Salmon numbers continue to dwindle...
