It's amazing to hear the biologist at the end explain how the salmon also enrich the forest when bears and other animals that eat them carry them into the forest or defecate them there. Just goes to the point that everything is connected and in balance in natural ecosystems.
It’s big reason why the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia have such rich healthy forests. If California had more salmon, bald eagles and bear their forests would be much more lush
The 7,500 year old trees in the Stanislaus and Inyo forests are bonsai in rocks at nine to ten thousand feet in elevation. Squirrel poop provided most of the fertilizer these amazing trees needed to survive. We should go forth and fifth generation nuke and loose all of the west coast dams. I love wild Pacific Salmon. Mmmm.
Very good news! Hope that sustainable levels of fish will soon be the result with further enrichment for the natural environment and the native people.
Things like the Elwha being undammed and the Pebble mine being denied permits give me hope for the future. I think we need a full stop moratorium on old growth logging and development projects that impact salmon habitat in the PNW. In fact old growth logging should be banned outright across the world imo.
I would like to hear someone comment on how the sediments from the former Elwah river lakes (Mills and Aldwell) will now be again added to the rebuilding of Ediz hook.
I am so excited to see the Elwah one day. I watched as a barrier was removed on the Eel River that brought back different fish species. I am hoping to get time this year to watch as the Klamath River dams begin their new journey to open up the river again. It is such an inspiration to see people come together to make these dam removal projects end and free our rivers.
I love these videos. A part of me soars when I learn about these restoration projects. It will be a good day when all of the river blocking damns are gone and our ecology is somewhat restored.
So lots of discussion about the benefit to local habitats, and animals but none whatsoever about alternatives - construction of fish ladders to allow the salmon to bypass the dams, and renewal of the generating equipment at the dams to provide continuing green energy to the area.
Fish ladders were impossible to build in the steep, rugged canyon and have not proven terribly successful in any river where ladders have been used anyway. Also these dams were in serious disrepair, the reservoirs nearly completely silted up, and were no longer needed. They were strictly power sources for one single business, not for the whole community, and the community has other power sources now. The cost of revamping the dams and the negligible returns made destroying these dams a good economical decision as well as an environmental decision. The Elwha River was home to all five species of Pacific salmon before it was dammed, an incredibly rich ecosystem like no other. These two dams destroyed these unique fish runs and the local Native American tribes' entire way of life, and this is just a small bit of justice for them.
I’ve not seen any evidence though, that removing any dam has actually helped the fish return. Justice seems like a small consolation after everything natives have been put through, if this can even be called justice or be measured as such, as only time will tell. From what I can find online, the customer you speak of was the Naval Yard of Bremerton, and they replaced the electricity generated with a natural gas burning plant, which will greatly increase air pollution in the area. People need to quit deluding themselves that the natives won this battle, it was won by the gas company.
@@AFMR0420 The two dams provided power for a single local mill in Port Angeles, not the Bremerton Naval Yard. The salmon have already returned upstream past the location of the former dams and are spawning again. Numbers of returning fish and their species is being closely monitored. I live in the area and have for 36 years and am well aware of the history and the current situation.
So exciting! Indigenous people have lived connected with the River & its wildlife for more than 10,000 years & they know the natural world like their own brothers & sisters. Patient, careful, thoughtful restoration means they will pass the bounty of the River to generations of futurek humans & wildlife.
Don’t delude yourself. It is nothing like before the dam. There used to be enough salmon they say you could walk across the river on their backs. Also, wrong spelling of dam. Also, you should watch the documentary about this from the people who actually spend their time in the river counting the fish. The fish populations are still devastated.
It is nice to see the revitalization of destroyed Eco systems. Hopefully in the future we are smart enough to do things with the environment top of mind in any projects moving forward.
@@GH-oi2jf Yes, you are correct, presently there is no other choice for that amount of an alternative energy to surpass the dams. As for the absence of fish ladders at Grand Coulee, there is no excuse considering the massive sums our government has wasted. Nuclear fusion, solar microwave, whatever comes along though, and GC must go, Bonneville is marginally better due to the ladders and navigation locks.
We don't have to wait for the salmon to go up the river. We can just stock the river and the salmon will know to return. In the 1960s Michigan did that with Pacific coast Coho salmon and now Lake Michigan is a popular salmon fishing location.
The Elwha plants were very old and provided a minimal amount of power; they were marginally viable at best, and factoring in their environmental impact no longer made any sense. Additionally, they were actually illegally constructed initially BECAUSE they did not include any fish ladders - so they really shouldn’t even have existed.
Some people think mankind should live in caves and eat grass. Those same people will be doing just that when only the richest can afford a chinese solar panel and a used marine battery toturn on their couple led lights😂
So I understand restoring natural habitats and all, BUT, where do we then get water for human consumption? Drinking and agricultural use? Water should NEVER be used for lawn or golf courses as that is wasteful?
Sometimes it is better to remove a dam then to try and modify it. This dam was a hundred years old and likely at risk of failure which would have created serious problems downstream.
You did not mention that the power produced did not cover the expense of operating the dam. The sediment was not slowly released. Hole was blown at the based of the dam and an unbridled flood of sediment laden water sped down the river.
That was The White Salmon River not the Elwha that blew open the tunnel at the base........dont be hard on yourself im sure you will do better next time lol
@@AFMR0420 You must be new to YT. Every 2nd video starts... "I did this" & "I did that"...and half of those are by illiterate m0r0ns. And speaking of Illiterate...

Nowhere was this video "biased or misleading in nature". Nowhere was it "political" It did, however, promote & publicize a point of view.

No, Rugger, NPR shouldn't have the same tag because only a small percentage of their funding comes from the government. It varies among affiliates, but the average is 8.2%.
I hope plans are made for replacement dams for power or water storage before current ones are destroyed, particularly in California. Without water and power, it could get rather unpleasant.
meanwhile there are two rivers within 15 miles of the Elwha River that were completely destroyed by state wildlife agencies along with the Native American tribes they went up the Dungeness River just below where the Dungeness River in the Grey Wolf River me and they brought big heavy machinery down drove them through the river and destroyed at 10,000 year old steelhead and salmon spawning ground on the Sol Duc riverboat they shut down a Steelhead Fish hatchery for no reason at all and now the steelhead run in that river is doomed
Dams are planed natural disasters Just take Itaipu, which turned a land of Rainforests and fertile crop fields into a desertified lake and compare with the no go zone of Chernobyl The first done by purpose and the second by accident, about the same size and on the same time on history I'm glad you have evolved from this stupid and greed way of energy Now it's own time to evolve it too, here on the other side of the globe Any help will be more than welcome
I hope this positive development is coordinated with replacing the lost hydroelectricity with another sustainable supply including conservation. Dams will silt up eventually, and much faster with soil-disturbing activities such as agriculture or logging upstream. As could be seen by the photographs, the layer of sedimentation was getting so high that they damn was losing a good hydraulic head, and thus the electricity it could produce was already in advanced decline.
That's already happened in previous years, took out the road, campground, etc...If there is a lot of runoff, you have flooding, which you didn't have before.
@@GH-oi2jf every damn slows down the river is flood control. whether they use it for water power for making industry work or if they use it for hydroelectric. it still is flood control.
While this is great news for ecological restoration, I can only imagine how much time it will take to bring fish populations back up. Perhaps it will take another flood season (12 years from now, as we should be at the tail-end of La Nina and just about ready to cycle back into El Nino) to get enough silt to expand the estuary by a substantial amount.
they said it took a day to get fish up the river. So it was a day. Fish populations to come back up? Fish lay millions of eggs, so it will take one spawning season. And they have to crowd out the fish that were there before, and were super successfull because the dam was built. This is the dumbest mini doc ive ever seen in my life and you took the bait, hook line and stinker.
Have you ever heard of fish ladders? Without hydroelectric how do you plan to run all the electric vehicles? More Cole, More Oil that has to be transported , all of which will raise the cost of your energy.

Looking forward to the Klamath dam removal!
Klamath Falls will have falls again! The name of the town will be ironic no more.
Me too, we need to remove all dams from rivers world wide, same with all other signs of human technology!
Very nice, great work. We visited that area a number of times in the last 5 years and the changes are remarkable. Keep it up folks.
Give thirty years and nobody would know the dams ever existed.
Very cool.
Good for the Native American tribes that fought for this.
Finally answers the age old question about a bear shitting in the woods.
Very good news! Hope that sustainable levels of fish will soon be the result with further enrichment for the natural environment and the native people.
Things like the Elwha being undammed and the Pebble mine being denied permits give me hope for the future.

Great report!
Are the Beaver returning?
3:39 CONFIRMATION ! yes , a bear does shit in the woods !!!!!!!!
Hilarious
I do it too! 😁
Great news that there are more dam removals planned this year!!
Why? are dams a problem? As a norwegian wich have 91,5% of electricity made by dams they barely impact anything
My question would be whether small partial flow weirs could generate decent power without taking more than 30% of the flow at any given location.
probably not, wind and solar is so much cheaper nowadays anyway
I remember fishing there in the late 70's and the steelhead were huge.
Leave Mother Nature alone and she can do anything. Mother Nature is amazing
How’s the dust up at the old lake bed? I know it was an issue at first. I’d love to see some pics of that now!!
Thank you

Excellent.
I cant wait for dams to be removed here in Quebec, for Riviere Mitis.
Just think of how many more hydro-electric dams we can remove if we relied more on clean renewable nuclear power.
Does a bear poop salmon in the woods? It does now.

If you rebuild it (habitat), they will come.
Yay!
This river reminds me of Scotlands River Spey, where salmon are struggling to flourish. Lots of lessons to be learnt between the two.
Why not make what we norweigans would call salmon stairs
Sometimes it is better to remove a dam then to try and modify it. This dam was a hundred years old and likely at risk of failure which would have created serious problems downstream.
It's been tried many times and was not effective. They also collected the fish and transported them by trucks past the dam. Not useful either.
Once they open the river it should just be a blue ribbon river. Aka single barbless catch and release only.
No. When the salmon runs recover, we catch fish to eat.
Where do the salmon come from
