ENDANGERED COHO SALMON

 
Law suit mentioned in the second half of show:
These consolidated cases arise out of continuing efforts to
protect several species listed under the Endangered Species Act (―ESA‖), namely the endangered Sacramento River winter-run Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) (―winter-run‖), threatened Central Valley spring-run Chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha) (―spring-run‖), threatened Central Valley steelhead (O. mykiss) (―CV steelhead‖), threatened Southern Distinct Population Segment (―DPS‖) of North American green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris), and endangered Southern Resident killer whales (Orcinus orca) (collectively, ―Listed Species‖); and associated impacts to the water supply for more than
half the State of California.
 
 
 NOTE THAT THE DAM REMOVAL OPPOSITION STATES: Coho Salmon can only travel as far as they do because of the dams. So really, the Coho salmon will not benefit with dam removal. Removing the dams will make it much harder for the salmon to travel upstream. Please listen to the following radio clips.
