Summary

[edit]
Description

USGS scientists and divers with the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, EPA, and Washington Sea Grant, went underwater to study the impacts to the Strait of Juan de Fuca now that removal of the Elwha River dams is well underway.

The edge of the silt plume from the Elwha River is very distinct in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Glacier topped high mountain peaks deep within the Olympic National Park are visible in the background.
