The Beautiful Undammed

A decade after the largest dam removal in history-on Washington State's Elwha River-scientists are chronicling a story of ecological rebirth. Recovering salmon populations are transferring critical nutrients from the ocean into the forests, enriching the entire ecosystem. The Elwha's revival is an encouraging model for the removal of larger dams in the region and around the world.
