Stop by to chat about salmon, dam removal, global warming, endangered species, sustainable fisheries, renewable energy, the silencing of science and more. We'll be joined by fishermen from up and down the west coast, whose lives, livelihoods and communities are being hurt by bad salmon policy in key western watersheds like the Klamath and Columbia/Snake river basins.
