for hydro power. it blocks off the salmon from their spawning grounds up stream. the fish have steadily declined ever since it was built on dams. when and we saw these huge population crashes and salmon and other species, these salmon fry are swimming in a hatchery just below the dam. but hatchery fish have failed to restore the salmon population for the tribal people. the result has been disastrous without recourse to their traditional diet of salmon rates of diabetes and heart disease have sword . so it's really hard to emphasize just how important the seminar to us. i mean, for me, it's not just a food source, it's also the connection to my ancestors. now, after decades of negotiation and bureaucratic delay, the iron gate dam is going to be torn down. the process will take several years and

will be the largest dam removal in us history. when this dam and the others along the klamath river are finally removed, native americans and others who depend upon the river hope that it will once again flow free and clean and full of salmon, all the way to the sea. from here at the mouth of the klamath salmon travel up stream to spawn, after their mysterious journeys in the pacific ocean, where intertwined in every way, with the klamath river and without the klamath river. there, there are yacht people, a river to be restored for generations to come. rob reynolds al jazeera on the klamath river. now hollywood is celebrating the return of sold out cinemas after tom cruz's new film top a gun. the beverage blasted to the top of the box of his charts. already adrie your captain with you. a long awaited c call to the stars at 1986
