Wafisher,
I agree that in Alaska the greatest detriment is the over harvest by the commercials. To some extent the same here in the sound and its rivers. I am not knowledgable about the habitat issues up north. My focus is that whatever fish do make it past the commercial and tribal nets in the sound& river, and the sport hooks in the sound and rivers has hospitable habitat to spawn in and for their offspring to grow and out migrate as healthy and strong smolts.
I realize this is not the only issue facing our fish but it is a very important one.:-)
