Changing Planet: River Restoration
https://www.pbs.org/video/river-restoration-vntatm/Video was on PBS last night.
It is about restoration of two rivers, the Klamath in California and another one in Paris, France.
Gives me some hope as I remember the days when the Klamath River ran wild and was filled with fish.
The salmon are returning NOW being the damns are being removed.
I had some of the Steehead from it for dinner last night in fact and
was it ever good!

Fish kills galore.
After the most recent dam was removed, they figured it would take years for the Chinook to return.
However, they began to show up a startling ten days later!
>>“They said it was going to take 10 years for the salmon to return to the Upper Basin,” Karuk Tribe Vice Chairman Kenneth Brink said in a prepared statement. “Once the dams were out, it took 10 days.”
How is that for miraculous?
