Show Notes
Seattle City Light agrees to invest nearly $1 billion in fish passage systems at its Skagit River dams, following years of debate and scientific challenges. The settlement, announced on March 5th, aims to restore the rivers habitat and support all five Pacific salmon species, vital to the culture of the Upper Skagit and Sauk-Suiattle tribes. The dams, which cut off about 40% of the habitat, have contributed to declines in Chinook salmon, a key food for endangered orcas. The full relicensing deal totals $3.8 billion over 50 years, with federal approval and construction still pending.
