I wonder if it is worthwhile to solicit WDFW's approval/guidance on collecting up the carcasses and spreading them around in area streams? I recall an effort last year or the year before where volunteers hauled hatchery carcasses out into area streams and dumped them, to distribute the biomass.

I for one would be very happy to volunteer -- perhaps I could even get our Boy Scout troop involved. I think it would be a fantastic educational experience, as well as a community and ecological benefit. Besides, 10 year olds would love the chance to schlep salmon carcasses around, just like they do down at Pike Place Market .

Regards.
