They Took Dead Fish and Threw Them Into the Forest – The Result Left Experts SPEECHLESS!

Salmon, by nature, are anadromous, meaning they’re born in rivers, streams, or lakes, swim out to the ocean, and then return to their birthplace to spawn. However, the dams block their path, making it much harder for them to travel upstream. While Washington isn't the only state dealing with this problem, the state is particularly affected since the Columbia River runs through it. There are countless dams along the river, which creates significant challenges for salmon migration. To address this, authorities have spent vast amounts of money on hatcheries, maintaining aging facilities that cost over $2.2 billion in the past two decades. Yet, despite this financial commitment, the salmon population in the Columbia Basin continues to decline. While hatcheries produce millions of salmon each year, the number of wild fish in the region has dramatically decreased. Out of six species of salmon, thirteen separate populations are now listed as endangered. Although 250 million hatchery-raised salmon are released into the ocean every year, the survival rate is less than a fifth of what it used to be. In some cases, as low as 4% of hatchery-raised salmon make it back to spawn, which is below the minimum threshold required for recovery. The situation is grim.
