Dams poorly mimic the temperature patterns California streams require to support the state's native salmon and trout—more than three-quarters of which risk extinction. Bold actions are needed to reverse extinction trends and protect cold-water streams that are resilient to climate warming, according to a study published in the journal PLOS ONE by the University of California, Davis.
