Many of my friends were in favor of this before it started with Cal Trout. Fantastic that it is going forward with such a good monitoring program, integrated with Yurok and other tribes, and with the expection of good outcomes for the river, fish and human use into the future. We must manage our heritage well. Thanks for everyone who contributed to this ongoing improvement. Ben Hamilton, at AnEcoScape, npo.
Great accomplishment Cal Trout et al, may the river always run free and the positive associations you've formed continue to manage it and sustain the most native and beneficial ecosystems possible far into the future. Kudos to you from a Southern Wisconsin Trout Unlimited member. 😀
Looking forward to seeing results / changes over the next decade. Winter and spring storms will continue to restore the river as will reseeding the uncovered land with native plants.
I live near where John Muir spent a good chunk of his youth in Wisconsin. Please, in honor of the man most responsible for the national parks and neighboring Yosemite in particular, please find a way to preserve as much as possible, Hetch Hetchy in as natural a state as he knew it. He's on the California State Quarter, for goodness' sake! With the Greenhouse effect and global warming's already measurable effects on climate, nature preservation is more important than ever.😳
why is no one talking about all the 22 different native species that were killed during the removal, including but not limited to the endangered chub which is a scared fish to the native tribes in the area
@@GeorgeWHaydukeiii6396 so your saying there were no native, endangered or any sacred fish fish in the river and lake systems on the klamath river, only non native warm water fish. maybe.you should do some research before you make such a ridiculous uninformed comment. you obvioulsly have an agenda and havent even followed the res or Oregon PBS as they have done documentries on this subject. this is the problem with all you eco hypocrites. do the research.
@@shaggy1958 did you watch the video? green foamy water=ag chemicals and fertilizers. Ive been to the river, fished and swam in it. Its natural color is a brownish tea color.
@@johnnynephrite6147 how do you know this isnt from previous farming. agriculture has changed a bit over the last several years. the company i work for hasnt used fertilizer with phosphorus in years and the amount of lbs per acre of nitrogen has been reduced
@@johnnynephrite6147 Of course your eyewitness observations are important, but you made a pretty blanket statement above, so I kind of agree with shaggy1958. More evidence, like studies about pollution/agricultural runoff in the river by multiple California and Oregon universities' environmental research departments, as well as those states' natural resources departments, would help your argument. Also credible accounts broadcast and printed in both local and regional media outlets by investigative journalists. Who knows what you'll find to support your accusation about Oregon. *You might also find* (based on these studies and reports recommendations, and on the reactions of the media outlets viewers towards the polluters identified in the media accounts) *remedial action may ALREADY be taking place*. This should not surprise you. *Do you really think the people of Oregon want to drink polluted water or have fishkills wash up on their streambanks any more than you do?* There probably are many organizations with the same focus on restoring the natural ecosystems and clean water in the Klamath in Oregon too, I'm sure without even doing a check myself. Why not engage with them and find out what they are doing to form project teams and partnerships with local concerned parties like Cal Trout did, and see in what way you can help, so that you never have to witness that jade colored foamy water again, and the natural brownish tea color can return to all parts of the Klamath. You are not alone!
Ok the dams are gone. Why waste all this money on tracking fish. Let nature takes its courses. Spend the money on other projects. This is a example of more government waste.
Monitoring is essential to inform future restoration efforts. This data helps us figure out what restoration efforts to engage in and where they should take place. Measuring the success of completed restoration projects ensures that we learn from what we’ve done, and that future projects are data-driven and impactful. We'd encourage you to check out our blog that dives deeper into the value of monitoring here: caltrout.org/news/migration-matters-monitoring-fish-migration-across-the-state
Removing dams to improve fisheries habitat and water quality is awesome. But ignoring the massive amount of geo engineering going on right above their heads is hard to understand? Almost every shot in this video that showed the sky was covered with un natural lines criss crossing the sky dissipating into an artificial haze covering what was once a beautifully pristine deep blue Northern California sky and turning it into a dimmed down haze of man made toxic clouds that are poisoning our entire web of life. For anyone thinking those lines are just condensation from commercial air traffic go out get your own water test kit that can detect the presence of heavy metals. Then capture some raw rain water in a sterile cup or bucket. You will be horrified to find ground metals like aluminum, barium, strontium, etc etc which has no natural origin to be in the rain fall other then they are being artificially injected into the clouds during geo engineering operations. Every water district in California is well aware of the aluminum they are finding in the rain water and snow melt yet everyone is just ignoring it like some sort of bad episode of the twilight zone. What will it take to wake us up from this hypnosis!?
Who said anything about the aluminum being undetected? Every local, state, and federally run water district is testing and finding unnatural amounts of aluminum. It’s in the air, it’s our rain and snow fall, it’s in our rivers and lakes, it’s in the soil and in our trees and plants even our livestock. They use lots of micro plastics in geo engineering and that is very harmful and concerning as well…But heavy metals in particular aluminum have horrific accumulative effects both in the environment as well as the human body.
The pollutants in the environment do come from humans - factories and mass agriculture leech countless amounts of heavy metals and other dangerous volatiles into the air and water. For example, the textiles industry in some parts of the world dumps toxic runoffs directly into rivers. That water then evaporates and becomes rain which falls over the US. If we want to clean up our air and rain, a far bigger impact would be had by regulating the manufacturing industries around the world. And seeing as we can't change the laws in another country, it comes down to US to buy more responsibly, and dry up the demand for mass-produced junk which pollutes our air and water.
I’m so grateful that the klamath river is restored!! Please do more update videos!!
I live on it on a ranch in Hamburg, what kind of content would people like to see?

"May the river always run free" - we could not agree more!

Woohoo! It's time to FREE THE EEL RIVER in Lake County!
And some new land environments for wildlife as well. Exciting.
Science? WHA??? Awesome Video. Awesome Support.
Do the San Joaquin River please
Now do Hetch Hetchy valley please.
lol San Francisco’s water supply would dry up.
I’m gonna be filming there in a few weeks!

Thie removal of the dams was a wonderful thing, and everyone that participated deserves a huge thank you!
Awesome...👍😎🤙
Is this one of the largest undamed rivers in America now?
Unfortunately, it's not completely undammed. There are 2 dams still upstream, in Oregon.

Because what you are saying is not true, that's why.
@@GeorgeWHaydukeiii6396 so your saying there were no native, endangered or any sacred fish fish in the river and lake systems on the klamath river, only non native warm water fish. maybe.you should do some research before you make such a ridiculous uninformed comment. you obvioulsly have an agenda and havent even followed the res or Oregon PBS as they have done documentries on this subject. this is the problem with all you eco hypocrites. do the research.
@@GeorgeWHaydukeiii6396they don’t give a shit!
Now if we can just get Oregon to stop polluting the watershed with agricultural chemicals we might actually have a healthy river again.
And what proof do you have to support this egregious comment?
@@shaggy1958 did you watch the video? green foamy water=ag chemicals and fertilizers. Ive been to the river, fished and swam in it. Its natural color is a brownish tea color.
@@johnnynephrite6147 so your answer is none!

You're sure to overdose on aluminum when you wear it on your head.
What? I’d be worried about microplastic pollution rather than undetected aluminum pollution.

Aluminum exposure is inevitable when you wear tinfoil on your head.
