Gov. Gavin Newsom announced on Tuesday a $60 million plan to build a channel to open the Yuba River up so salmon and other threatened fish species can swim along the river’s dam.

The channel resembling a natural river would stretch 10 to 12 miles of habitat upstream, blocking the salmon migration route along the Yuba River.
