🌡Disastrous return for endangered Snake River sockeye. Sockeye have to pass through 8 dams and 8 hot, stagnant reservoirs and swim 900 miles home to the lakes at the headwaters in central Idaho. So far, just 8 sockeye have made it back to the Stanley Basin this year. Learn more: wildsalmon.org/HWR

🌡️Salmon and steelhead are in hot water. 🐟The main threat to endangered salmon and steelhead’s survival during their freshwater life stage is caused by the federal system of dams and reservoirs. 🔗Learn more at wildsalmon.org/HWR

Many utilities are misinforming communities, distorting facts, blaming policymakers, and claiming measures to protect Columbia Basin salmon will drive up our energy bills. Salmon are not the reason for rising costs. It's time for real solutions. wildsalmon.org/SmartEnergyFutureNW

🦠The 4 lower Snake River dams have transformed a healthy and free-flowing river into 140 miles of hot, stagnant, and toxic reservoirs. Now, we have a sick river that cannot support healthy and abundant salmon, steelhead, wildlife, & communities. 🔗Learn more at wildsalmon.org/HWR

The Army Corps and EPA's new Reckless Water Rule would slash federal safeguards for critical waters, including headwater streams and wetlands, that are an integral part of drinking water sources for 117 million Americans. 🔊 Speak up today! act.americanrivers.org/page/91637/a...

ACT NOW to tell EPA and the Army Corps to keep strong clean water protections in place.
Weakening the current water rules means more polluted rivers, more flooding, and more costs for communities and water-dependent businesses. It’s time to speak up.

The four lower Snake River dams transformed this once highly productive river and prolific salmon migration corridor into a series of stagnant reservoirs creating unhealthy, hot, toxic river conditions, including increasingly prominent and dangerous toxic algal blooms.

Scott Putnam worked for decades as a Regional Wild Salmon and Steelhead Trout Fisheries Biologist. After retiring in 2024, he’s spent much of his time documenting the presence of toxic algal blooms on the lower Snake River and their impact on fish and local communities.

The lower Snake River have transformed the ecosystem from a healthy free-flowing river into a series of slow-moving reservoirs that trap heat throughout the summer. They have made our river sick and unsafe for people, pets, and ecosystems.

Toxic Algal Blooms aren’t just dangerous for the aquatic ecosystems, including the salmon that migrate through them. They also are harmful to humans and their pets, containing unsafe levels of microcystins, which can cause liver damage and other adverse health effects.

This past summer, we saw 11 toxic algal blooms (TABs) across the Snake River. This is the third consecutive year that we have seen TABs on the lower Snake River. TABs grow in warm, stagnant water with added nutrients. The lower Snake River dams create these exact conditions.

Rather than address this, we're seeing federal agencies critical to salmon recovery at risk of being eliminated, habitat restoration funding in jeopardy, and our utilities attempting to completely eliminate their obligation and responsibility to recover wild salmon and steelhead.
