bright-witch: The Chetco River is an incredibly high quality freshwater body – it supports some of the most diverse assemblages endemic species (and their habitats) in Oregon and California across many extreme environmental gradients in a relatively small area. The Chetco also supports large populations of salmon, and the area around the river remains relatively undeveloped thanks to the nature of the wild Rogue Wilderness terrain. This area is rich in diversity not found anywhere else in the world, and as a keystone species habitat, it must be protected at all costs in this biologist’s opinion.
