American Rivers announced that Oregon and California’s Klamath River is the 2024 River of the Year, celebrating the biggest dam removal and river restoration in history. The River of the Year honor recognizes significant progress and achievement in improving a river’s health.
“On the Klamath, the dams are falling, the water is flowing, and the river is healing,” said Tom Kiernan, President and CEO of American Rivers. “The Klamath is proof that at a time when our politics are polarized and the reality of climate change is daunting, we can overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges and make incredible progress by working together. This is why American Rivers is naming the Klamath the River of the Year for 2024.”

I think the Klamath is the river of the century! It was once one of the greatest life supporters on the West Coast. It was almost completely killed, and now it is being restored. Such a unique, beautiful River with some of the most caring, unique people living on it.

Glad I donate my contributions through my employers matching program and able to see the funds at work.

It’s not just the dams but ocean conditions and Chinese Trawlers off the West Coast and Alaska of North America. National maritime boundaries need to be extended beyond the 200 miles to a minimum of 500 to 1,000 miles to protect the fisheries. We also have to bring beavers back and then possibly our fisheries will have a chance. New England has alot of dam removals as they’re attempting to bring alewife/herring back which feeds lobster/cod/etc. There is alot of work still to be done. Progress is being made though.

Don’t forget stocks of salmon and steelhead are down across the west. Not just dams rivers. I fish a free flowing river and it’s doing bad theses days. We need hatchery’s to plant smoltz by the million

Hatcheries are as bad as dams. Man is not smart enough to manage nature.

You still need to make clean fuel ,by making your own electricity .

“Free flowing” yeah no kinda but not really, there’s still two dams and one is a diversion dam.

Climate change is not daunting it happens every year winter, summer, spring and fall so keep your hands off my climate change. I like climate change.

That is the seasons changing, not the climate. Parroting deniers' rhetoric just makes you look dumb and hateful.@aljay2955

What an insane joke. You destroyed the river. Killed every living aquatic creature from the dam to the ocean. Can’t hide any longer the word is out. Failure in epic proportions.

Science needed to take over. Praying wasn't working.

Apparently you haven’t been there recently. There’s geese and ducks and their baby chics. There were cows grazing pretty close to the river, they didn’t die. They released a bunch of salmon in a different spot and so far they’re doing good 🤷🏽‍♀️ It’s already changed so much in just 3 months. It was never going to be fixed in the snap of a finger. It’s going to take time but it’s already improving quite a bit. You’re statement is false information, it’s fear mongering and hyperbole. It is OBVIOUSLY NOT DESTROYED 🙄🤡😂 Why do you want it to fail so bad? That’s just gross. You can hate that it was done, but it’s done. There’s no stopping it there is no going back or rebuilding. So be all big mad but why do you want it to be destroyed? We know some wildlife and thousand s of non native fish died. It was expected. It sucks and it’s really sad. But it’s literally not destroyed. So why keep saying it is?

I think some who had river front properties and lived along the river are mad, but these dams never should have been ... so when we are gone, salmon will be running again. This was right for the longevity of the land.
