Key Salmon Spawning Rivers All But Dry

The key spawning grounds for what was once the greatest run of salmon on the North Coast are close to being as dry as they have ever been, according to biologists and the U.S. Geological Survey.

As California bakes under a third year of drought, the Scott and Shasta rivers, near the California-Oregon border, have become little more than dry beds of rock and dirt.

Recent measurements showed the water volume in both rivers approaching record lows for this time of year. The two tributaries of the Klamath River are historic breeding grounds for salmon and are considered critical to the recovery of the species.

"Large areas of the (Scott) River have gone completely dry, stranding endangered coho salmon as well as chinook and steelhead in shallow, disconnected pools of water," said Greg King, president of the nonprofit Siskiyou Land Conservancy, which has fought to protect the salmon runs in the Klamath River system.

"This could be the year that causes the coho to go extinct if they can't get upstream in the Scott and Shasta."

Klamath Dam Removal Deserves Better Coverage

The Klamath River dams, located about 30 miles from Ashland, are slated for removal in 2020.

For the past five years, twists and turns on this major river restoration effort have commanded regular headlines in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The Oregonian, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Seattle Times and the Sacramento Bee. The Eureka Times-Standard, located 230 miles from the Klamath dams, covers the issue approximately twice per month.

The Mail Tribune has covered this issue lightly, to say the least.

It concerns us that the Tribune has chosen to use what little ink it has for the Klamath dams on a one-sided "news" story on how two rafting companies feel about this issue.

We learn that dam removal will change rafting runs, but we don't learn how the dams have blocked fish from 300 miles of habitat for nearly a century, or how the dams cause toxic algae blooms so dangerous that hazard signs warn recreationalists not to go in the reservoirs or the river downstream.

Tribal Land Deal A Bust?

County Chairwoman Lynn Peterson and commissioner Bob Austin listen to a staff report on the urban and rural reserves designations for land around Clackamas County on Thursday.

The county's Policy Advisory Committee recommended that the more than 2,000 acres south of the river be designated as a rural reserve, meaning that it could not be added to the Metro urban growth boundary for the next 40 to 50 years. However, in the past few weeks, there has been increased activity by the Klamath Tribes to put the land into trust. This action could lead to the development of 385 acres of French Prairie.
