It is home to the Round Valley and Wiyot Tribes along with the Sherwood Valley and Bear River Rancheria. It is also a river where Tribes and fishermen have not been able to fish for salmon for decades due to dwindling salmon populations due to dams and diversions to wine grape vineyards on the Russian River.  This has led to food insecurity in one of California’s most remote watersheds. This panel will discuss efforts to take down the Eel River dams and to reduce the diversions to the Potter Valley Irrigation project on the Russian River. It will also touch on the needs to control diversions for marijuana to restore flows for salmon and efforts to return land to Tribes in Northern California.
