There is so much bad news, but I feel so much better when I see what is happening with the Klamath. I feel inspired by what you guys are doing and have done.
They’re ahead of schedule because they didn’t stick with the original plan of a slow drawdown.. instead, all the waters were released at once killing everything in the river for many miles.
@@Dogatemyhomework927 I think that was always their plan. It's my understanding the goal was to take advantage of the winter and spring precipitation to wash the sediment out to the Pacific while there were very few fish in the river. The idea is, that by this fall when the fall Chinook start migrating up river to the tributaries to spawn, the river will have cleared enough so that it won't harm them. It has only been a little over a month since they initiated the draw down. This is the worst part of the sediment mobilization. In a month or two things will look a lot better and fish will start coming out of the tributaries to repopulate the mainstem of the Klamath.
Is camas in the list of to be planted seeds? While the bulbs aren’t that easy to gather the seeds are. Gently stick the seed heads in a paper lunch bag, shake the heads, and all the seeds go to bottom of bag. The trick: Gather seeds when seed heads open, before a rainfall knocks seeds out. It’s just you have to wait five years or so before you get the very few, first flowers. By six or eight numbers are substantial on the plants. I think many seeds don’t produce plants. Persistence is required.
So there’s a lot of coverage on the toxic sediment filling the river bead and covering salmon/steelhead redds. Why was this done during the end of the fish runs? Why wasn’t this done during the beginning of summer or end of spring?
I haven't seen any coverage or legitimate scientific theory or research to validate any statement on the toxicity of the sediment and its short or long term impacts. Where are you seeing this?
Sometimes people won’t be convinced by reason and they need to be convinced by consequences. Let this be a lesson to anyone considering repeating this mistake. 😢
It's exciting to You people! I bet you don't Live near the Klamath River. It's become as sewer. You killed everything thing in it. There won't be Fishing in it for decades. If at all. The sediment is toxic. To any wildlife that drink from it. It's a man made disaster. I hope you really know what you are doing. 😢
One is mast amounts of Lead, Arsnic and many other. There telling people to keep you animals out and not the consume. I'll ever get in again. I Live along the Upper Klamath River.
