 Major Sponsor: Elwha Research Consortium: The 45-mile (72km) long Elwha River in Washington State was historically one of the most productive salmon rivers in the Pacific Northwest. However, two dams built on the lower Elwha in the early 1900s set off dramatic changes: 90% of salmon habitat vanished, triggering ripple effects on wildlife, food webs, and habitat throughout the watershed. In 1992, Congress mandated restoration of the river’s fisheries, and as a result, the two dams will be removed in 2011. Nowhere else is there such an opportunity to gain ecosystem-wide information: These dams are the largest ones ever proposed for removal, and this will be the most complete restoration of a wild salmon river ever attempted. This project presents a remarkable opportunity to address questions concerning fundamental ecological restoration topics involving nutrients and trophic webs, succession, aquatic and terrestrial habitats, and fluvial processes operating within a wild salmon watershed. This special session, sponsored by the Elwha Research Consortium, will highlight current and ongoing studies occurring in anticipation of the start of dam removal in 2011.
