American Rivers has some new (as of a month ago) videos of the Copco 1 and J.C. Boyle dams being breached. I'm really excited to see how the Klamath river responds to these dams being removed.

Also, someone made a post-breach video of the river with their drone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIJcOaSBsOg

Most likely, worse water quality and the death of a lot of fish/aquatic life.

Why would you think that? A planned dam breach is a pretty controlled thing and not something done lightly.
