“Elwha was the largest dam removal in the world. Then, Klamath was the largest in the world, and the Snake River will be the largest in the world when it comes.

Two dams are gone and natural processes are being restored. In the last three weeks, naturally migrating Chinook salmon and bull trout have been observed upstream of the dam site for the first time in 102
