Hmmmm Spawnout the Hood Canal habitat problems you may be alluding to such as the HWY 101 causeways were built well before the wild stock crashes that occurred just after 1980. Before that the stocks were near historical levels pretty much except for the Skokomish. I'll grant you the idea that allowing the rivers channels to spred at their entrance to the estuary may help.....but on the other hand won't the predator population currently occupying the river mouths just expand. I have a picture of the Dosewallips estuary that is about 80 years old....the river channel is exactly where it is today. No highway.....go figure? Sorry I just can't buy into spending 10's of millions of dollars on engineering salmon restoration without taking a real look at the actual causative factors that caused the crash originally. $500 million per year for such efforts and what do we have to show for it? Anyone ever hear of the Tennesee Valley Authority and Army Corps of Engineers......looks to me like some consultants and engineering companies are the only ones profitting.
