Mission Statement

Dam Sense’s mission is to educate key decision-makers and the general public about the ecological, cultural and economic benefits of a free-flowing Snake River and the most efficient and economical pathway to start breaching the Lower Snake River Dams today.

By extension, our work aims to prevent the extinction of endangered salmon and orcas, save money, and advance Indigenous and environmental justice.

Core Goals

  1. Pursue LSRD breaching by Winter 2026.
  2. Grow coalition focused on immediate breaching.
  3. Ensure Jim’s legacy is preserved and sustained.
