“Rally for the C’waam and Koptu” brings awareness to plight of endangered Klamath fish
Citizens of the Klamath Tribes will host a two-day community event, “Rally for the C’waam and Koptu”, highlighting the importance of these endemic fish, also known as the Lost River suckerfish and shortnose suckerfish. This free event will take place this Friday July 22 and Saturday 23 in Chiloquin with a caravan rally to nearby Klamath Falls on Saturday. … C’waam and Koptu once inhabited the Upper Klamath Lake in the millions, but today, only 4,000 Koptu and less than 20,000 C’waam remain.
