Whistling Past the Tombstones: Or Remove These Dams

Are you concerned about the declining numbers of fall Chinook and steelhead in the Snake River? Look no further than the groundbreaking book, Whistling Past the Tombstones: Or Remove These Dams. This book exposes the devastating impact of dams without fish ladders on the spawning habitat of these precious fish species. With over half a million fall Chinook once thriving in the middle and upper Snake River, it's time to take action before it's too late.

Imagine a time when the North Fork Clearwater River in Idaho was brimming with steelhead, producing an incredible 1,000 redds per mile. This river alone accounted for 50 to 60 percent of the entire Clearwater basin's steelhead production. However, due to the lack of fish passage systems in the Dworshak Dam, which was completed in 1971, this spawning habitat is now inaccessible to steelhead and Chinook salmon. We can't ignore the impact dams have on the survival and sustainability of these species.

In order to maintain healthy, harvestable, self-sustaining salmon populations, we need to ensure an adequate number of returning adults reaching sufficient spawning habitat. Unfortunately, without fish ladders, dams like the Hells Canyon Dam and the Dworshak Dam have significantly diminished the number of returning adults and the volume of suitable habitat. But we have the power to change this.

With Whistling Past the Tombstones: Or Remove These Dams, you'll gain a comprehensive understanding of the "cause and effect" timeline of these devastating events. This book will open your eyes to the limited scope and biased agendas behind recent studies and research. It's time to focus on the real solution.
