Yurok Tribe marks fish habitat milestone with completion of Jenny Creek project
Representatives of the Yurok Tribe announced Tuesday that restoration efforts on Jenny Creek, a tributary of the Klamath River, have been completed, marking a significant milestone for the local ecosystem. … According to Yurok Tribal leaders, for over 60 years, the creek was inaccessible to salmon, steelhead, and Pacific lamprey due to its location behind the former Iron Gate Dam, as well as its own concrete dam. Shortly after the smaller dam removal was conducted by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, more than 300 Chinook salmon entered Jenny Creek for the first time in decades, Tribal leaders said.
