    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.

      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.

    Things like the Elwha being undammed and the Pebble mine being denied permits give me hope for the future.

In fact old growth logging should be banned outright across the world imo.

    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.

    • @Pipsqwak
      @Pipsqwak Рік тому +11

      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.

    • @AFMR0420
      @AFMR0420 Рік тому +4

      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.

      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.

      We have a lor of hydro power in the Pacific Northwest. These small dams are not important sources of hydro power.

    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.

      Hush! Don't you realize that this just the beginning! Soon we'll be able to remove all human technology and once again start living in caves!

      Kert Mustapha - Another commentator (Pipswak) provided answers to your question and concerns.
      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 [lumber mill in Port Angeles; was also stated in the video], not for the whole community, and the company 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.
      NOTE: It is "coal" that is an energy source, not "Cole."

    We didn’t break anything. We logged trees for homes to be built, and we dammed for energy and protection of homes, crops and harvests….we built civilization. Let us thank then, those who came before and gave us this legacy of wealth, learning, and health. Because of them we can now afford to improve the land again, correct mistakes and excesses by eliminating the dam and engineering a return to wildness/wilderness.

    What will likely never come back are the 100 lb king salmon that once swam this river. The Elwha was famous for its huge king salmon. Sigh.....
    Better late than never, I suppose.

    Amazing how Mother Nature can fix what we break and how quickly she does it. When the pandemic hit the Bay Area and shut it down and no one was driving every day our skies up here in Tahoe never looked so blue (in my lifetime). Perhaps Thanos was right.

    It took a century to mess up the environment. I hope it takes less to return these rivers to a natural state.
