It’s hard not to be upset when you consider what once was, compared to what’s left. There was no single factor in the demise (although a good 95%, or more, are directly attributable to us humans).
I like all the positive videos you share about dam removals, and habitat restoration going on. We probably won’t ever see the levels of fish that once swam in our waters, at least not in our lifetimes; but we do have choices going from this day forward. Those projects are a small hope, that perhaps we can make a few watersheds a little bit better over time. It’s certainly a better chance than letting our frustrations get us down.
