FOAM Lecture on Eel River Dam Removal

Arcata Marsh Interpretive Center

Alicia Hamann, executive director of the nonprofit Friends of the Eel River, will present on the urgency of removing two dams on the Eel. To secure the benefits of dam removal for salmonid recovery, the action needs to happen soon. She will explore dam safety factors that are both driving momentum for dam removal and also reducing the reliability of Potter Valley Project water supply. It also will cover the range of environmental issues that dam removal will improve or solve, including mercury toxicity, invasive species proliferation, and the incredible hope for revitalization of the southernmost population of summer steelhead on Earth.
