The Klamath River Photo Project is a multiyear documentary that’s following the landscape and river as it recovers from the world’s largest dam removal project.
Formally known as the Lower Klamath Project and located over 190 miles upriver from the Pacific Ocean the goal for dam removal has been to return access to nearly four hundred miles of former habitat essential for the lifecycle of Chinook and Coho Salmon. Within the weeks immediately following dam removal, autumn 2024, salmon were spotted spawning in locations not seen since the early 1960’s and for Oregon, not since 1912.
