Looking upstream to the return of migratory fish

Thank you for making this video, we are learning about the bay and how these programs are enhancing the bay by removing damns. We hope to see more fish. It would be nice to see time frame and related contacts for data. My 8 year old son wants to learn more about damns.
Thank you!
