	Klamath Moves To Second Place On Endangered Rivers List, Dan Bacher, Fish Sniffer Online
		In its annual report, the national environmental group cited "excessive irrigation diversions and hydropower dams that are causing the ecological collapse of the river and its fisheries" for its prominent placement on the list.
		The list reports "acute threats" to the listed rivers rather than their chronic problems; it is not a list of the nation's most polluted rivers.
		Masten emphasized that if the problems of the river's current water management aren't addressed, the dramatic decline in coho salmon, a federal and state "endangered" species, will be followed by further declines in the rivers's fall chinooks, spring chinooks, steelhead and green sturgeon populations.
