June 12, 2020 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. State of the Salmon and Water Wars on the Klamath River  Moderator Regina Chichizola - Save California Salmon  Yurok Tribe  Tom Stokely  Ka’ila Farrell-Smith  The Klamath River watershed is home to California’s three largest Tribes all who still depend on it for food and ceremonies. The Klamath river is also relied on as part of the economies of California and Oregon as it is important for commercial fishing in both states. The Klamath River is also the center of one of the most contentious water wars in United States history due to diversions that are part of the Klamath Irrigation Project. The Klamath river’s largest tributary is the Trinity River which is being threatened by ongoing issues with the Central Valley water project. As the once plentiful Klamath salmon quickly decline and drought grips California, Tribes are fighting to protect the Klamath and Trinity River salmon from multiple new dams, pipelines and diversions, and to restore the Klamath River through what will be the world’s largest dam removal project.
