Each and every Chinook that is killed before maturity is a fish the is unavailable to the whales. Because the numbers are way down (Chinook) even closures may not now be enough. I mentioned earlier that in the 80s Nooksack and Samish had Chinook returns to the bay of 80-100K+ and now the whole damn Sound has how many?

We have gotten ourselves, of our own free will, down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon with a legal requirement to get out now.
