the shallow, nutrient rich water trapped behind the dams heats up and thus
provides an optimal environment for the algae to bloom,” explained Craig
Tucker, Klamath Campaign Coordinator for the Karuk Tribe. “For years, down

the dams to restore runs of salmon that are in dramatic decline and alleviate
the toxic blooms.” </span></font></span><o:p></o:p></p>

PacifiCorp over the role the dams play in creating algae blooms and creating
conditions lethal to salmon. Lawyers for the plaintiffs include nationally
