That Dam Removal Project

  • Summary

  • The world’s largest dam removal project is underway along the 250-mile Klamath River in California and Oregon. By the end of 2024, four of the river’s six dams will be demolished. UC Davis scientists are studying whether it will help salmon populations rebound. The fishes’ ear bones could hold clues to their future. In this episode of Unfold, host Amy Quinton discusses the topic with co-host Kat Kerlin, who has written a multimedia feature story about whether restoring the river to its natural state will also restore decimated salmon populations.

    In this episode:

    Rob Lusardi, aquatic ecologist, UC Davis Center for Watershed Sciences

    Beth Rose Middleton Manning, professor, UC Davis Department of Native American Studies

    Barry McCovey, director of the Yurok Tribal Fisheries Department
