  1. Death by a Thousand Dams

    Tens of thousands of small barriers hamper fish recovery in the northeastern United States. But while the demolition of big dams out west gets the most attention, a similar revolution is revitalizing northeastern streams and rivers—one tiny dam at a time.

    By Ben Goldfarb
    September 22, 2026

    Excerpt: "Since 1912, more than 2,300 dams have been purged from waterways in the United States, most in the last quarter-century. The dam-removal movement hit its apogee in 2024, when, by the accounting of the nonprofit American Rivers, 108 dam removals reconnected more than 4,000 kilometers (2,500 miles) of once-fragmented waterways. The year’s biggest and best publicized dam obliteration occurred on the Klamath River, where the dismantling of four aging hydroelectric dams opened more than 645 kilometers (400 miles) of spawning habitat in #California and #Oregon to #ChinookSalmon, who recolonized the watershed so rapidly that conservationists described the resurrection as 'magical.' Prior to the Klamath, the nation’s largest undamming took place on #WashingtonState ’s #ElwhaRiver, where two fish-blocking walls were obliterated on behalf of chinook, coho, steelhead, and other salmonids."

  11. Dredging the #ColumbiaRiver at the expense of tribal and aquatic communities

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has transformed the estuary and robbed the river of sediment over the last century.

    Josephine Woolington June 1, 2026
    "Grand Ronde’s elected officials said they were not consulted during planning for the proposed dredge project, George said. In a written statement, the Corps did not acknowledge this but said that it is committed to “conducting robust, meaningful government-to-government consultation with all federally recognized tribes.”

  15. After 3 years of closures that devastated CA's fishing industry, commercial salmon fishing is poised to reopen this spring.

    But that doesn't fix the underlying problem as our lead scientist @jarosenfield explains:
    "As soon as it stops raining or snowing, we’re going to be back in the same situation with the salmon season closing. If we don't protect river flows and cold water storage, then we’re not protecting salmon."

  20. Salmon (Incredible Creatures by Safari Ltd.)

    Last week we looked at the Safari Ltd. “catfish” which Safari was kind enough to identify not at the species level, or even family level, but at the order level. An order containing 3,000 species. The figure was pretty easy to identify but it does beg the question, why doesn’t Safari identify it more precisely on their website? They commissioned it after all. Well today we’re looking at […]

    Chinook salmon numbers in Michigan waters have dropped sharply since 2012, tied to reduced stocking efforts. Anglers are seeing fewer of these once-abundant giants in the Great Lakes.
