Do you want your fish back . Anne makovec on the quest to restore a salmon population that once thrived in the shasta area with help from their descendants on the other side of the world. Reporter it is a 300mile journey that traces the ancestral path of the winter run chinook salmon from the mcloud river to the pacific ocean. The annual pilgrimage is led by the tribe and its chief sisk. The tribe never wavered from a core belief. Whatever happens to the salmon happens to the people. Reporter salmon populations are a fraction of what they once were, and Climate Change plays a role. At the time last decade theyve been hit by the onetwo punch of Climate Change. Disruptive heat waves, dryness through extreme drought. Reporter chuck bonham heads up the California Department of fish and wildlife. He says the summer of 2021 was a grim one for the salmon. We were at the peak of the recent severe drought, and these fish are now trapped down on the valley floors. And the valley floors are much hotter. Water thats too hot is lethal for salmon. Reporter californias fish and wildlife just awarded 50 million in grants for 15 projects. One involves the tribes attempts to restore wild salmon to the river. This is the right thing to do, and it will help us figure out how to save salmon in california. So theyre in a dire position now and may go extinct if this project that were involved with isnt successful. Reporter sisk recounts how the problem first began with the shasta dam. While the dam provides flood control, hydroelectric power, and water supplies. It is a, um, a weapon of mass destruction to me. Reporter built during world war ii, shasta dam flooded the tribe off their ancestral land. It also blocked the chinook from returning to the icy cold river to spawn. In 1994, the fish were federally listed as endangered. The tribe held protests. Then chief sisk got an email. Do you want your salmon back . We have them. Reporter the email was from the head of the mori people of new zealand. It turns out in the 19th century, millions of salmon eggs from the river were exported to 30 states and 14 Different Countries to create new salmon runs. The only one that thrived is the one in new zealand. Sisk and other tribal members traveled to see the fish and became determined the bring some back home to the mcloud. We want to welcome them home. What better way to try and heal past injuries and show the world its possible to do things together and make it better . Reporter in a historic agreement, the tribe is now working with fish and wildlife and fisheries to support a joint effort to return the salmon to the mcloud. Sisk believes the wild salmon eggs will fare better than those hatched near the dam. The salmon survive, people will survive. If we can get a passage from the Sacramento River past the dam so that fish can swim in and out on their own, then we have wild fish again. Reporter the hope, to get them home safely as soon as possible. All right, lets talk about weather. What a nice day. It was a jacketfree afternoon even. Right. It was breezy this morning, and then every hour this afternoon, the wind just got lighter and lighter and lighter. And it just felt sunny and warm. It was a very foreign feeling at this point. Guess what . More in store for the weekend. Finally the timing lines up exactly. A nice weekend just in time for the st. Patricks day stuff going on. Lets get into the details because we have a lot to talk about, and its mostly good news for us. Lets look at the big picture pattern. Were in for a dry weekend. The offshore winds wont strengthen, and the big picture pattern doesnt shift a lot into early next week. In fact, through the first half of next week, the calm weather pattern is going to continue. Futurecast shows a little cloud cover sneaking in along the coast tomorrow. It will make its way into the bay on sunday and inland valleys by monday morning. But the fog and low cloud cover isnt going to last long. It will back up to and even away from the coast each afternoon, and well see plenty of sunshine which means your full capacity for solar Electricity Generation across the bay area. Its what we had today, well have it tomorrow, and again on sunday. Looking outside right now towards the port of oakland. Temperatures started to back down a bit. We made it into the 70s everywhere today. Now were down mostly to the low to mid50s. But still 64 in the city and 61 in san jose. Later tonight with calm winds and clear skies, our temperatures fall into the mid to upper 40s to around 50 degrees. Thats very close to normal for this time of year. Then temperatures will warm up. Bonus dog walking forecast. We usually do this at 6 00, but wanted to highlight another event happening this weekend at oakland animal services. Dita here was just adopted from there, and theyre having their spring into action adoption event over the weekend, so theyre trying to get as many dogs adopted into their forever homes as possible. Ill put a link on social media as soon as this weather cast is over. If you have room in your house for a permanent resident or foster, they accept those applications as well. Temperatures great to spend time outside with adoptable puppies. Temperatures upper 60s in oakland. The map is looking good across the board. Mid70s for san jose. Thats the same temperature you reached today, and its almost ten degrees above normal. The rest of the bay area tops out inland in the low 70s. Now, along the coast, thats where the biggest change will be noticeable. You were in the low 70s at Half Moon Bay today. Only low 60s tomorrow. The breeze not that strong, but noticeable and will impact temperatures. It also drops temperatures back into the upper 60s in San Francisco and oakland. Not a bad place to be in the middle of march. Temperatures in the north bay reaching back up, not as far into the 70s, but still at or above 70 by tomorrow afternoon. The longer range temperature trend holds on to the inland warmth, especially through the first half of next week. But the tenday outlook for san jose shows returning to near average or even below average temperatures by saturday, sunday, and monday of the following week. Thats associated with a wet weather pattern that will return. This is the six to ten day outlook that takes us from thursday through the following weekend. Its a good chance of those wetter than normal conditions. Looks like the cooler weather could stick around for awhile as well. The 8 to 14 day outlook takes us almost to the end of march. Inland it will warmth is most noticeable and will last the longest. 70s through the middle of next week. Around the bay temperatures back off just a degree or two earlier as we head into the middle of next week. Back to closer to normal temperatures by wednesday, and slightly below average temperatures by thursday and friday. And for the first time in the last several days, we dont have a completely dry sevenday forecast. We do have a chance of showers right on the last day of the sevenday outlook next friday. Brings the next chance of light to moderate rainfall into the bay area. Something that forecasters will keep our eyes on while everyone else enjoys a dry, warm weekend. All right, after a day like today, i refuse to believe rain is ever coming back to the city. Sigh of relief coming up in sports for warriors fans. Dubs expect to get their best player back in the line up saturday. It couldnt come at a better time. And in the nfl, one of the scariest players of the generation hanging it up. I have to wonder, though, has he learned who a certain 49er is . Lets dive in. I guess if ever there was a time for steph to heal and everything be okay, its now. Yes, the basketball god touched that man. Its crunch time. 17 games remain, the warriors four game back to avoid that play in tournament. And theyre just three games ahead of the 11th place rockets. We forget about that. Any kind of slip up and golden state would actually miss the postseason. But the good news, theyre expected to get their best player back saturday when they face the lakers. Curry missed the last three games after injuring his ankle against the bulls back on march 7th. Dubs have gone 1 and 2. In their two losses without him, both double digit. Hes officially listed as questionable on saturday. Needless to say, the most important player on the roster is happy to eventually get back on the floor. Im working hard all week to try and get back as soon as possible. Its nice to be back with the team for the good energy going on. We need him. Its a big game tomorrow, obviously. Theyre all big. But particularly the ones against the teams, you know, ahead of us and teams that we are on the heels of. In baseball, former giants third baseman jd davis can call off the moving trucks. Davis reportedly signed a oneyear 2. 5 million deal with the as. San francisco released him earlier this week, and he lost out on nearly 6 million that hed been awarded in salary arbitration. He cant be happy. To the nfl. Former 49er jimmy g headed to the rams on a reported oneyear deal to back up matthew stafford. He was leased by the raiders on wednesday. During his time with San Francisco, jimmy g 8 and 1 against la. It was in the championship game two years ago when donald pressured him into an interception that clinched the win for the rams. Today donald announced hes retired after ten seasons. He won three defensive players of the year. Hes definitely a future first ballot hall of famer. And his retirement ends a rivalry with deebo samuel. Reporter how do you game plan for a guy like deebo samuel. Who . Reporter deebo samuel. Who is that . I dont just walk up to people and be like hi, im deebo. Im pretty sure donald knows who he is. After those comments in 2020, he scored six touchdowns in seven games against the rams. I like how samuel is like he should know who i am. Yeah, i feel like talking that kind of mess, shall we say, is always bad news because it comes back to bite you. It never works. Except when i do it. Talk about a moon shot. The spectacle that had all eyes in the sky at spring training. The big spectacle at spring training in florida tonight wasnt a foul ball, it was more like a fire ball. Is that a rocket launch . Allen down swinging. Do we know what rocket that is . Is that a spacex . Lets hope its not coming this way, steve. Thats apparently falcon 9 from spacex. Thats very cool. Look at that. Let me tell you, if i had just hit the ball and this happened, i would save this for my highlight reel and send it out to everyone. Unfortunately that was spacex. It was a falcon 9 rocket that just blasted off from Kennedy Space center. The spectacle really overshadowed the game. Closer to earth, another united flight that took off with sfo landed with fewer parts than it started with. In this case an external panel. It didnt cause any problems on the flight, in fact no one noticed until the plane pulled up to the gate. Theyre looking into it. Just last week at united flight lost a wheel as it took off from sfo for japan bashing a couple of employee cars in the parking lot. A lot of people like to book excursions when you travel, but when you stay at this hotel, you rappel and zip line before you even get to your anne makovec. All right, when you check into a hotel, the most treacherous part of the journey is usually finding your room at the end of the hall or finding the elevator if youre staying in vegas. Matt, you probably had some experiences. I just kept losing the darn key cards. When you went to the super bowl. I dont know why they let him do that. But at this hotel in wales, getting into your room is an adventure that takes physical skill and nerve. You have to travel around 1400 feet into the earth to reach the worlds deepest hotel fittingly called deep sleep. You want it nice and slug, but not so tight you give yourself a headache. The helmet is going to give you the headache . Not descending deep into the pits of the earth single game record this should be every couples honeymoon. You find out right then and there if its going to last. At check in you get the hard hit, boots, lamp, a mountain guide. You navigate flooded tunnels, tight spaces, and zip lining. That exists because of slate mines. This wasnt all built for the hotel. This is an old victorian bridge. At least whats left of a bridge. It goes miles that way and that way. After about four hours. Thats what i want. Guests finally reach the hotel. I want to go to the hotel restaurant. By the way, its just a couple of sleeping bags crammed into caves. You have a toilet in here. A toilet, nice guests not only have access to the throne, but sleep in climate controlled cabins. I mean, come on. Ground water helps generate electricity. Running water comes from a spring. But theres no shower. Dinner comes in a pouch. The price to sleep here is almost 500 bucks a night. [ laughter ] could you imagine like maybe youre just starting to get serious with someone in a relationship, and they say im surprising you with a lovely stay at a 500 a night hotel, and you show up and have to do this . As they rappel down, i look over the edge and say see ya. Ill get back in the uber. Yeah immediate no from me. If i have to wait at the check in desk, im regretting my decision already. I have some friends in nashville who go spelunking where you explore underground caves and stuff. Theyd be into this, and theyre the only two people i know. I know there are a lot of you watching going this is my idea of a party. Its just not ours. Ill tell you that right now. People on tv typically dont like to get down and dirty like that. I like camping in a tent for 500 a night i expect to not have to rappel at the least. Thats my rule. Thanks for watching. The late show with Stephen Colbert is
