The Eel River is on the precipice of running free, & we need YOUR voice. FERC is accepting public comments on the dam removal through Nov. 30 - a rare chance to speak to decision-makers. 💬 Tell them why a free-flowing Eel matters! Submit your comment 👉 https://t.co/lMQVBtnvhl

We kicked off Nov. at the 8th Annual Winters Salmon Festival! 🐟 We loved reconnecting with familiar faces & welcoming new CalTrout supporters. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, became a member, or played our Salmon Survival Wheel. Until next year ✌️ ✌️

🐟 Many of you adopted salmon through Adopt-a-Salmon & are tracking their journey from the South Fork Eel River ➡️ ocean. Before we figure out which fish made it, meet our final fish hero: CalTrout's Charlie Schneider reconnecting habitat in the Eel River. https://t.co/xRjqfiIZbZ

Nature's ability to heal is nothing short of remarkable. Within 1 year of Klamath River dam removal, salmon returned to their historic spawning grounds. This effort paves the way for dam removal across CA, providing hope for recovering native fish runs.

🐟🔭 This weekend we teamed up with Alameda County Clean Water Program, community members, and Earth Team youth interns at Sunol Community Gardens! We learned about salmon in Alameda Creek, the Sunol Valley Fish Passage Project, & celebrated showing up for our local waters. ♻

🐟 What does successful restoration look like? At Baduwa’t (Mad River) Estuary, it looks like fish returning! Since 2022, 15.5K+ fish from 17 species incl. ones threatened & endangered ones, have been documented, w/ coho fry 20% larger than nearby! More:

One year after the Klamath dam removal, recovering endangered spring Chinook is possible. “We have a lot of work to do to get spring Chinook back in this river system, but we have an opportunity to do that now with dam removal.” - Damon Goodman, CalTrout https://t.co/aAYqMx6fnS

🎂 🐟 Happy 1 year anniversary to the Klamath dam removal! “The river seemed to come alive almost instantly after dam removal, and fish returned in greater numbers than I expected, and maybe anyone expected,” - CalTrout's Damon Goodman More via @OPB:

👟 Imagine journeying thousands of miles - tough, right? Now imagine you’re a young salmon in the Eel River. 🚫 Dams, drought, & invasive pikeminnow stand in your way. Our team’s fighting to raise survival odds. Hear how from CalTrout's Darren Mierau 🎥👇
