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.

On March 29, 2010, the coalition Keep Nestle Out of the Gorge, led by Food & Water Watch, launched a campaign against Nestle Waters North America. They opposed a proposed water bottling facility in Cascade Locks, Oregon, fearing it would commodify public water resources and endanger native salmon and steelhead.

The coalition argues that such a facility would jeopardize local wildlife. As of April 2012, Food & Water Watch seeks support for a legal appeal to defend Oregon's water from Nestlé. Make a donation to the Crag Law Center to aid this effort.

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.

In 2024, the Klamath River dam removal marked a historic, Indigenous-led victory, achieving the largest river restoration ever. Blending Indigenous knowledge and modern science, the project shows remarkable early results: salmon are returning abundantly to spawning grounds inaccessible for a century.

Amy Bowers Cordalis of Ridges to Riffles Indigenous Conservation Group emphasizes Indigenous values and nature-based solutions from the Klamath. This approach heals land, water, and people while boosting the economy. Restoring the river as a living relative offers a vital path forward for all.
