The Next EXTINCTION Event? - Salmon VS Dams - The Green Way Outdoors Documentary

Описание: In this Documentary about Chinook fishing in Lewiston, Idaho we investigate the Lower Snake River dams impact on the Salmon population. The Green Way Outdoors team hit the Clearwater/Snake River with Trout Unlimited’s Eric Crawford, spoke with Chairman Wheeler (Nez Perce/Nimiipuu) about salmon and treaty rights, then toured the Port of Lewiston to see how wheat barges and navigation tie into the debate.

What do you think of this debate? Let us know in the comments.
