The Tribes of the Klamath Basin have played a leading role in advocating for dam removal, as well as leading the management, restoration, and science around fisheries on the river. Barry McCovey Jr., Yurok Tribal member and director of the Fisheries Program for the Tribe, discusses what life was like growing up on the Klamath River, how it has changed over time, and how the momentum built through the dam removal will guide the further healing and recovery of the ecosystem and the people.
