for support of the Klamath Salmon Restoration project
The Institute for Fisheries Resources works to restore salmon to Pacific Coast rivers. This grant would support its efforts to remove four dams blocking spawning salmon on the Klamath River, on the border between California and Oregon, which once hosted the third-largest runs of salmon on the West Coast. To secure dam removal, the Institute will work to implement a complete agreement signed by farmers, ranchers, Native American tribes, and fishing interests in the region. The agreement seeks to meet water needs related to agriculture and fish restoration along the Klamath so the dams can be removed.
