This summer, drought and heat are again challenging Pacific Northwest salmon rivers. But 150 years of poor decision-making are what’s brought salmon runs to the brink—and there’s plenty we can still do to reverse those harms.

Snake River dam removal, sea lion control, and spilling water through the dam system are all options we need to pursue simultaneously.
