The Yurok and Karuk peoples fought for decades to remove dams on the Klamath River, which decimated salmon populations and riparian ecosystems vital to their traditional lifeways. In 2022, the US government agreed to remove four dams, launching the largest river restoration project in US history. This monumental achievement highlights tribal activism and groundbreaking partnerships.

Learn about this success, culture-based restoration, and tribal collaboration with state and federal governments. This talk, delivered at the 2023 Bioneers Conference, was moderated by Cara Romero, with Samuel Gensaw, Isaac Kinney, and Craig Tucker. For more information, visit bioneers.org.

Seafood fraud is a significant issue in the U.S., often subjecting consumers to a "bait and switch." A recent Oceana study found that over a third of Maryland blue crab cakes tested in the Maryland and D.C. region contained cheaper, imported crab species instead of the advertised local blue crab.

While the iconic Chesapeake Bay blue crab is a sustainable "best choice" with recovering stocks, its relative scarcity keeps prices high. This forces local watermen and businesses to compete with mislabeled, often irresponsibly sourced imported blue swimming crab from unregulated fisheries in India and Southeast Asia.

Heidi Kritz has dedicated nearly half her life to protecting Alaska's Bristol Bay from the proposed Pebble Mine. This copper and gold project threatens the world's largest salmon fishery, which is vital for the local economy, ecological stability, and native cultures.

Kritz has tirelessly fought the mine, organizing rallies and a letter-writing campaign that gathered over 6,000 voices. She also mobilizes new activists by working with tribal high school students. Her leadership has significantly advanced the decade-long effort to defend Bristol Bay, and she remains committed to this crucial fight.

Join Jeff Corwin as he explores climate change impacts, from California's drought-stricken Sierra Nevada and the Caldor Fire's aftermath, where he meets firefighters, to Washington State. There, he highlights conservation efforts for the resourceful American beaver and the endangered Pygmy rabbit.

In Washington, Corwin joins the Tulalip Beaver Project, which humanely relocates beavers from conflict areas. Beavers are vital ecosystem engineers, building dams that increase water storage, filter pollutants, promote biodiversity, and create crucial salmon habitat. Nearly hunted to extinction, these resilient animals are now recovering, with the Tulalip Tribal Community leading successful wildlife management and research efforts.

Talks at Google.

Peter Kohler, founder of The Plastic Tide project, and Dr. Stefan Leutenegger, Lecturer in Robotics at Imperial College London, discuss how the ocean is under siege from an ever-increasing tide of waste, and how technology like machine learning and drones can help us fix the issue.

Threatening not only a vital economic resource worth an estimated $5 trillion a year but also humanity’s very own life support. The Plastic Tide initiative was started almost two years ago, with the aim of quantifying the problem using drone imagery of UK beaches and beyond: raised awareness and precise data will hopefully drive solutions at societal, political, and technological levels.

They have collected a huge database of drone imagery around UK beaches last year, and a prototype algorithm developed already combines a deep-learning-based plastic detection scheme in the images with geo-referenced mapping. The speakers will show early results and present related research in the space of localization, mapping, and drone flight; and furthermore, sketch the way forward to limit the plastic tide swamping our oceans.

This episode of Nature’s Genius explores the ancient forest as a community thriving on symbiosis. It features ecologists Dr. Suzanne Simard, author of "Finding the Mother Tree," and Dr. Teresa Ryan, who reveal an elaborate tapestry of kinship, cooperation, and mutual aid within these ecosystems. Dr. Simard is a leading researcher in plant communication, while Dr. Ryan investigates salmon-forest relationships.

"Corazón Salado" by Patagonia Films follows activist Ramón Navarro as he joins the Kawésqar, an Indigenous community in Chilean Patagonia, to protect their ancestral waters. The encroaching salmon industry pollutes and destroys the delicate ecosystem, forcing the Kawésqar to struggle for food.

Navarro connects with Leticia Caro and her father, Don Reinaldo, a traditional fisherman, to expose the salmon farms' damaging effects. Together, united by their love for the sea, they advocate for establishing a marine protected area within Kawésqar National Park.
