#Dams

If you aren't following the news here in the Pacific Northwest, this is a very, very big deal. Our native salmon numbers have been plummeting over the past century and change. First it was due to overfishing by commercial canneries, then the dams went in and slowed the rivers down and blocked the salmons' migratory paths. More recently climate change is warming the water even more than the slower river flows have, and salmon can easily die of overheating in temperatures we would consider comfortable.

Removing the dams will allow the Klamath River and its tributaries to return to their natural states, making them more hospitable to salmon and other native wildlife (the reservoirs created by the dams were full of non-native fish stocked there over the years.) Not only will this help the salmon thrive, but it makes the entire ecosystem in the region more resilient. The nutrients that salmon bring back from their years in the ocean, stored within their flesh and bones, works its way through the surrounding forest and can be traced in plants several miles from the river.

This is also a victory for the Yurok, Karuk, and other indigenous people who have relied on the Klamath for many generations. The salmon aren't just a crucial source of food, but also deeply ingrained in indigenous cultures. It's a small step toward righting one of the many wrongs that indigenous people in the Americas have suffered for centuries.

Around the world, large dam construction has displaced between forty and eighty million people over six decades, turning thousands of Indigenous and peasant communities into “dam refugees.” Dams are a potent symbol of capitalist development: towering emblems of modernization, a testament of mankind conquering and reshaping waterscapes, and a literal trickle-up—an uphill flow—to guarantee water benefits to the wealthy, while dispossessing those whose livelihoods rely on river ecologies.

Could you write something about spending Christmas with Arthur Leclerc ??

yes !!11!!1!1!

arthur leclerc x reader MASTERLIST

synopsis; you spend christmas with your boyfriend for the first time in your new apartment

warnings; none

“Just one more bauble.” You whine, watching Arthur’s face screw up to confusion.

“Booble? Baauble?” His accent comes out, not understanding how to pronounce the word.

“Bauuble. Here, hang the last one.” You giggled, handing the reflective silver ornament his way.

He hung it up on the emerald green tree, embellished in silver and red shining orbs.

"Ooh, we're nearly finished amour. Only the star left!" You stepped back slightly, admiring the star.

You felt two hands wrap around both of your calves, sending a sudden shock to your system as you were lifted into the air.

"Arth!" You squealed out, being placed gently on his shoulders.

"You have to get up there one way or another." He replied smoothly, cracking a smile.

You gently placed the star on top, pulling the whole thing together perfectly. Arthur walked back slowly, as you looked down to be met with his smiling face. It was short lived as his strong arms came up to take you off his shoulders abruptly, thinking you were going to fall until he caught you.

"I think we did a magnificent job." He spoke softly, as you were both looking into each others eyes.

You leant into each other slowly, lips moulding together for a quick kiss.

You spent the rest of the evening snuggled in thick knitted blankets, paired with frothy hot chocolates.

A/N; fully aware this req was sent very long ago and not in time for Christmas pahaha , VERY SORRY!

my mind is like a goddamn river. not serene or calm or peaceful, but every thought rushing by too fast and gone before I can fully understand it. I, myself can barely remain afloat in these deep waters. so do you really want to break down my walls, the dams I've built over the years? will you drown in these rushed waters too? and if you manage to swim, would you bring me to my shores with you?

There's been a recent increase in the removal of old dams and other barriers on salmon streams on the west coast of the U.S. While last year's removal of part a weir from McKay Creek wasn't as dramatic as the removal of dams on the Klamath River, the results of the removal are very promising.

The weir was installed about thirty years ago due to the creek being drained by a nearby reservoir. Unfortunately, its design meant that salmon could no longer go higher up the creek to their historic breeding grounds.

The power of nature's resiliency--if we give it the chance to recover--was evident in the fact that this past February saw the return of the salmon to the creek for the first time in three decades. What's even more exciting is that scientists found not just a few redds (salmon egg nests), but seventy-two of them in a six mile stretch of the creek above the weir! That's incredibly impressive, considering how long salmon were blocked from that area.

Here's to more projects like these giving our salmon a fighting chance for survival in spite of everything we've thrown at them over the years.
