Take Action Now! As river levels continue to drop in the Klamath and Trinity River watersheds and temperatures rise, we may be looking at a repeat of lethal river conditions similar to those that killed tens of thousands of salmon in 2002. After multiple requests from river advocates and Tribes, the Bureau of Reclamation has proposed to supplement flows in the Lower Klamath River with water from Trinity Reservoir to help protect returning adult salmon from a disease outbreak and mortality during late-summer 2012. However, these flows are not guaranteed, so the Bureau needs to hear from you.
