SOS Hot Water Report | July 29, 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. This week's report focuses on adult returns of wild salmon and steelhead. Note that this week the water behind most of the dams has reached or passed the 68 degree threshold.
