Just over a year after the historic removal of four hydroelectric dams on the Klamath River, the Klamath Basin is taking massive steps toward restoring its habitat with the help of more than $30 million. These grants focus on the conservation of salmon and other anadromous fish species for both ecological benefits and for fisheries.  California Department of Fish and Wildlife has invested in about 13 projects throughout the Klamath Basin, working with multiple organizations to complete them and track the lasting impacts.
