Climate change is also super destructive to the ecology of waterways - and also to everything else, so I’m gonna say sacrificing a few fish for the good of the rest of the fish is probably a good idea.
Sure, the best time to start building more hydro/nuclear was 10 years ago, but I’ll bet that we will still be using fossil fuels in 10-15 years at this rate, so the second best time to start building is today.
We need to be building all kinds of clean energy production everywhere all at once - we can’t afford not to.

Same issue as nuclear though, building a dam takes years, time we don’t really have.
