Klamath Dams | Toxic Algae

Klamath toxic algae bloomFishermen rally for KlamathPacificorp DamUn-Dam the Klamath

In the not too distant past, the Klamath was a free-flowing river with clean water and world-class runs of wild Pacific salmon. Today, a series of dams owned and operated by Pacificorp has decimated salmon runs and polluted the river with toxic algae.

Klamath Riverkeeper is part of a diverse coalition using grassroots outreach and legal action to ensure these dams come down, and the Klamath River is restored. Learn more about Pacificorp's dams and the campaign to Un-Dam the Klamath...
