FE1.10 - Dams: Rushing Downriver (Part 2)
In this conclusion to our series on dam removal, we travel from the Klamath up to the Olympic Peninsula, and the site of the former Elwha and Glines Canyon dams. What did it actually take to bring the dams down, and what lessons can we take forward to other ambitious ecosystem renewal projects? Corrections to this episode: - While salmon fry may have to contend with hungry bass in other river systems, the Elwha is not one of them. - The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife releases specifically Chinook salmon into the Elwha river.
