Ruling on Columbia, Snake dams was a lifeline for salmon | Op-Ed Science clearly shows that the only way we can return wild salmon to healthy and abundant levels is if we restore the lower Snake River.

Panoramic view across the shallow rocky pools below a misty Holtwood Dam with the Susquehanna relatively low

View from the portage track on the York County end of the Holtwood Dam, standing below the 55 ft drop. Beneath a gentle blue toned sky, logs that have been brought down the river sit on the dam's edge, waiting to tumble

Last time I visited the Dam was 9 months ago, and came close to killing myself clambering across rocks to get a pano ... this time I went up close. Like watching a coin pusher in the arcade, but with multi-ton fallen trees.

As East Africa’s Migratory Fish Vanish, a Food Security Crisis Surfaces RUFIJI, Tanzania, March 24 (IPS) - By the time the auction begins at Nangurukuru fish market in Tanzania’s southern Lindi region, the crisis is already visible. Wooden canoes that once returned from the Rufiji River with heavy catches now bring only a fraction of what they used to. Traders scan for the long-whiskered catfish that once defined the market but find none.

As East Africa’s Migratory Fish Vanish, a Food Security Crisis Surfaces

Communities dependent on migratory #fish for survival face a cruel choice: the #dams built to bring electricity and economic growth destroy the very rivers these fish need to survive and breed.

Consumers seeks to delay millions in flood control upgrades as it pursues dam sales Consumers Energy is looking to delay hundreds of millions of dollars in planned safety upgrades at the largest dam in Michigan while it seeks approval of a hotly-debated plan to sell the facility and 12 others. In a filing March 16, the company asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for permission to put off a long-planned $350 million replacement of the spillway at Hardy Dam on the Muskegon River.

A 95-year-old Michigan dam needs a $350M safety upgrade — but the utility wants to delay it while selling to private equity. Tens of thousands live in the flood zone. Who's responsible if something goes wrong?

Epic river migrations of fish rapidly collapsing, UN report finds Vast journeys, among world’s great wonders, found to be under threat as freshwater fish populations crash by 81%

"Rivers need to be managed as connected systems, with coordination across borders and investments in basin-wide solutions now before these migrations are lost for ever.”

A Common Merganser duck is about to land in rushing dam waters to do a little fishing.

A Common Merganser duck is splooshing down in rushing dam waters. It's about to be brave and head towards the dam in father waters diving for fish.

The Common Mergansers are fearless at the dam. Last weekend I saw them splooshing in the turbulent dam waters and diving upstream against the rushing waters for fish. They were amazing to watch.
