NOAA Fisheries and California State Parks are removing the 80 year old Benbow Dam, slated for completion by end of 2016. This is the 2nd largest dam removal in California. The project will improve passage to nearly 50 miles of high-quality spawning and rearing habitat for Chinook, coho, and steelhead. © California State Parks
