Conservation Alliance grantee California Trout reports that a deal was reached last week to remove four dams on the Klamath River, and restore 300 miles of important salmon habitat. Cal Trout was a party to the negotiations, which would result in the largest dam removal in US history. The Klamath dams are widely blamed for a massive salmon die-off in 2002. If implemented, this agreement will lead to the dam owners — PacifiCorp — removing the four structures beginning in 2020.
