Advocates, largely driven by tribal activists along the Klamath River, have been pushing for these dams to be decommissioned for more than 20 years

I hope they are actively involved. Growing up, I was repeatedly taught how American indigenous people were much better with nature than we were. Then I was taught how we actively ignore their advice. Maybe it's time to listen.
