DAY OF ACTION TO SAVE KLAMATH SALMON
Let Scottish Power hear from you!

WEDNESDAY, JULY 21 is a day of action for Klamath River supporters.
Members of the Karuk, Yurok, Hoopa, and Klamath Tribes and staffers from
Friends of the River and the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen~Rs
Associations need your help to make an impression on Scottish Power!

You can help by sending an email to the Scottish Power Board of
Directors on July 21, just days before their annual shareholders~R
meeting. In your message let the Board of Directors know that:

-Their American subsidiary, PacifiCorp, is not living up to their
~Sgreen~T standards

-The Klamath fishery is the basis for unique and important Native
American cultures. These cultures cannot exist without salmon.

-The dams block access to over 350 miles of historic spawning habitat

-Share your personal experiences and feelings

The leaders of the Karuk, Hoopa, Yurok, and Klamath Tribes request that
your letters be kind. The goal is to let the companies leaders in
Scotland know more about the situation and the people of the Klamath Basin.

WHO IS SCOTTISH POWER?
Scottish Power is a large multinational energy company that owns
PacifiCorp who in turn own and operate the Klamath dams.

WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH KLAMATH DAMS?
The Klamath dams are in the process of being relicensed by the federal
government. Since the new license will last from 30 to 50 years, now is
the time to make changes. We hope to convince the federal government and
Scottish Power, to work Tribes, environmentalists, and fishermen to
provide for fish passage. This means some dams, like the towering Iron
Gate, will need to be removed and other smaller dams fitted with
functional ladders.
