Dungeness River Fish Passage Aug 2015
Channel: Northwest Treaty Tribes
Date: 2015-08-28

During this summer's drought on the Olympic Peninsula, the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe, Washington Department of Fish and Washington Conservation Corps crews have been helping fish get up the Dungeness River by creating diversion dams this week. The dams help push water into the more-shallow-than-usual riffle areas, allowing fish to swim up river easier during this low flow year.
