Amy Bowers Cordalis

Amy Bowers Cordalis, an attorney and member of the Yurok Nation, joins Barry McCovey Jr., director of the Yurok Tribes Fisheries Department. They discuss the 2002 salmon die-off that inspired action to remove the Klamath River dams. This monumental effort restored a vital salmon habitat and revitalized the river's ecosystem. Listeners will hear about the dam's impact on native salmon populations and the economic advantages of removal. The renewed vibrancy of the river and ongoing monitoring highlight nature's incredible capacity to heal.
