Perhaps, but definitely something to worry about after net zero. Dams, especially existing ones, tend to cause local damage to a handful of species, while the natural gas they take off the grid damages nearly all of the ecosystems on the planet while killing people even in normal operation.
It's a strong argument in favor of nuclear power. You get power like a dam, but without the impact on local ecosystems.
