Those who have seen the film, DamNation, are familiar with the absurdity of the Lower Snake River dams that impair salmon passage and cost tax payers greatly for little return. Now Washington residents can take action to call for the breaching of these dams.
From Patagonia:
“Snake River Salmon have been trucked, put on barges, diverted up fish ladders—all in the hope that enough would get by four dams to reach their historic habitat in numbers that would assure their future. It’s not working: It’s time to breach the dams and reconnect wild salmon to this important watershed.”
