[This is] our fault and that's why we need to do everything possible to try to recover [Chinook]. And so when we’re talking about what are the fastest ways to recover chinook salmon. A big one is removing dams, removing dams that are blocking passageways up to natal rivers, up to high elevations and cold water habitats. As we remove dams we’re literally removing barriers for these fish to get back to where they’re trying to get.Dr. Deborah Giles, Science and Research Director with Wild Orca
“We need to do everything possible to try to recover Chinook salmon.”

Why I support Environment Washington
It is now apparent that we need to take significant action in the next few years if we are to have any chance of avoiding the really significant impacts of a changing climate.Bruce Parker, Member, Environment America
