Dam removal in Washington state released " centuries worth" of sediment behind the dam onto ecosystems further down the river.
Initially, flora and fauna at the mouth of the Elwha River struggled; most noticeably, the kelp population declined by 95% because of a combination of the sediment flow and other environmental factors.
Over time, researchers have discovered over time that the ecosystems have recovered to a pre-removal standard and now show stronger potential.
