Our Pursuit
We strive to remove all dams within 10 miles of the ocean. By connecting rivers to the ocean we are creating the first steps in rebuilding wild rivers. Once we are able to do this anadromous fish and wildlife will be able to travel up into the river creating a beginning step in bringing back the natural cycles. Secondly, we focus on rivers that have endangered species. When expanding habitat we will better allow the species that are in trouble take action for themselves by allowing expansion of their ranges. Lastly, we are focused on removing any and all dams that no longer serve a purpose and are inhibiting wildlife from being more diverse, abundant, and prosperous.
This is a list of dams removed in the United States.
