SOS Hot Water Report | August 19, 2020

Orca Conservancy is sharing the Hot Water Report from the Save Our Wild Salmon Coalition. This weekly report presents the conditions of the Lower Snake and Columbia Rivers and the impact the warming water temperatures are having on endangered wild salmon populations. Since wild Chinook salmon is the #1 food source for the endangered Southern Resident killer whale (SRKW) population, monitoring these reports is important as we work to breach the Lower Snake River Dams. Like last week, all LSR and LCR dam reservoirs have hot water temps that are above 68 degrees. This is bad for the endangered salmon and the endangered Southern Residents.
