Rains, High Water, Spring Chinook Move Upstream.

 Tracker reports from Matilija Canyon - One site of Gov. Newsom's Proposed Salmon Recovery Initiative Removing Matilija Dam.

Through Rain and High Water, our brilliant producer, Tracker Ginamarie Rangel Quinone succeeded in visiting the swollen Ventura River at risk of evacuations, law enforcement actions, flooding and rain rain rain to bring you this timely and relevant report on Governor Newsom’s initiative to remove three more dams in the state of California in addition to 4 on the Klamath, and rebuild ecosystems and networks of waterways and corridors for species migrations in our beloved landscape. Tracker also discusses rebuilding Steelhead runs on the connected LA River through Downtown LA and Pasadena’s Arroyo Seco. This is truly great work by Tracker and it’s not the first time!

We view the landscape, political, tribal, policy, and environmental featuring clips from Elwha River Elders, site of the first large scale industrial "high head" dam removal in the world. Tracker fought her way through the storms to get the report. Way to go Tracker! Follow up reports based on the research and experts talked with will ensue.
