It’s been 10 years since the removal of the dams on the #Elwha River. After a 100-year hiatus, we’re now seeing spawning salmon in restored rivers, and beaches replenished by the release of acclimated sediment—over 20 million tons worth! Scientists have been monitoring the fish and other aquatic populations before, during, and after the removal of the dams. “Large scale projects like this that are successful really only occur if everybody works together as best as possible... and tries to be inc

The monumental task of taking down two dams obstructing the Elwha River near Port Angeles took two decades of planning and an additional three years to remove. As orca champions zero in on other fish barriers around the state, all eyes are on the Elwha to determine if removing dams can save endangered species.

“Elwha was the largest dam removal in the world. Then, Klamath was the largest in the world, and the Snake River will be the largest in the world when it comes. We know that this is possible,” said CEO @alyssa.macy at last year’s RUN in Unity Convening. Each year, environmental advocates, Tribal leaders, scientists, and community members gather to make progress on protecting clean water, salmon, and orcas—the Northwest’s precious life sources.

The Elwha River Remembers For over a century, the Elwha River was blocked by dams, silencing salmon runs and starving the surrounding ecosystem. But when the dams were finally removed, something extraordinary happened—within months, wild salmon returned to waters they hadn’t seen in generations. It was as if the river had been waiting, and nature hadn’t forgotten. Scientists call it genetic memory, the idea that instincts can pass through bloodlines even after a hundred years.
