SUPPORT TRIBES’ EFFORTS TO BRING THE KLAMATH SALMON HOME!

Klamath fishery and Tribal cultures are at risk. Send your comments to Scottish Power!


The Karuk, Yurok, ,Hoopa, and Klamath Tribes are working with Friends of the River and the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen’s Associations to ‘Bring the Salmon Home’ to the Upper Klamath Basin. Six dams without functional fish ladders stand in the way of restoration. We hope that by removing some dams and fitting others with ladders, we can open up over 350 of historic spawning habitat to salmon.

Currently, a joint delegation is in Scotland, taking the story of the Klamath River directly to Scottish Power (NYSE- SPI) who owns PacifiCorp, who in turn owns and operates the Klamath dams.

Considering Scottish Power’s reputation as a ‘green’ energy company, we are hopeful that once they learn more about the Klamath crisis, they will want to help save the salmon and the age old Tribal cultures that depend on the fishery.
