Federal Judge Orders Salmon-Friendly Changes to Columbia and Snake River Dams
A federal judge in Portland has mandated adjustments to dam operations on the Columbia and Snake rivers to safeguard endangered salmon. The changes focus on increasing water spills and altering reservoir levels to help young fish avoid turbines and warm pools. This ruling comes after the Trump administration scrapped a Biden-era agreement for salmon recovery. Salmon populations are dwindling due to dams, climate change, and predators, threatening tribal cultures, economies, and dependent species like orcas. The judges order is modest, but experts stress long-term solutions are needed for salmon survival.
