For the first time in nearly a century, adult winter-run Chinook salmon have been spotted in California’s McCloud River—a huge moment for both the ecosystem and the Winnemem Wintu Tribe. These endangered fish are a keystone species, and their comeback is tied to ongoing tribal-led restoration efforts and battles over dam impacts. The salmon can’t yet complete their full journey to the ocean and back, but this sighting is a hopeful sign. What do you think it will take for wild salmon to truly thrive again in our rivers? #Science #California #SalmonRestoration
