07.15.26 Conservation Spotlight Explores the Detroit Dam Drawdown

Conservation Spotlight examines the proposed Detroit Dam "draw down" from a fish biology perspective, with Greg Taylor from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This project, designed to save salmon, could impact drinking water and a recreation-based economy in near-by communities. Taylor reviews the reasons behind the draw down and how the USACE plans to approach the project to mitigate negative impacts to communities. This is part one of a two part conversation.  Part two will air August 19th, 2026.  (The host said Sept, but we decided to air it sooner.)
