The short explanation of this alert was:

Fishermen along more than 700 miles of the West Coast face a devastating commercial salmon fishing closure this summer, owing to the collapse of the Klamath River's wild chinook run. Federal mismanagement of the river, a series of fish-killing dams, excessive water diversions, and poor water quality have taken a severe toll on this river system, which once supported one of the largest salmon runs on the West Coast.

Though this fishing closure will likely have dire consequences for commercial fishing families, as well as hundreds of associated businesses throughout the Northwest, appeals for help have not yet secured federal funds for these communities.

Please take action immediately to help secure disaster relief for communities impacted by this disaster, and ask your members of Congress to provide the leadership necessary to reverse the decline of the Klamath River and its salmon.

Personalized letters are much more effective: Why is providing relief to impacted communities important to you?
