The Tribes of the Klamath Basin have played a
leading role in advocating for dam
removal, as well as leading the
management, restoration, and science around
fisheries on the river. Barry
McCovey Jr., Yurok Tribal member and director of
the Fisheries Program
for the Tribe, discusses
what life was like growing up on
the Klamath River, how it has
changed over time, and how the momentum built
through the dam removal will
guide the further healing and recovery of the
ecosystem and the
people.
