Klamath River Flows Freely Again as Historic Dam Removal Restores Salmon Habitat

The removal of four hydroelectric dams along the Klamath River has already led to remarkable environmental benefits. Within just ten days of the final dam being taken down, thousands of Chinook salmon were observed migrating upstream into newly accessible waters. The project, the largest dam removal in U.S. history, has restored natural river flow, improved water quality, and opened vital spawning grounds for fish species that had been blocked for over a century.

Restoration efforts are now focused on stabilizing riverbanks and reintroducing native plants, with billions of seeds from nearly 100 species being planted. Local tribes, who played a crucial role in advocating for the removal, see this as a major victory in restoring salmon populations vital to their culture and food supply. The project was completed ahead of schedule and within budget, proving that large-scale environmental restoration is both possible and effective. Experts believe this success can serve as a model for future river restoration efforts across the country.
