Well, that means that I can't say what I really want to say about American Rivers then!

But I can say that you can thank American Rivers for being one of the two none governmental organizations who joined hands with Tacoma Power and signed the Cowlitz River Hydroelectric Project Settlement Agreement which will eventually eliminate the entire hatchery run of November and December run of winter run steelhead on the Cowlitz, as the Settlement Agreement slowly takes affect in the next couple of years.

Cowlitz Settlement Agreement:
Quote:
Article 5. Fish Production and Hatcheries.

"a) The Licensee shall be responsible for funding the operation and maintenance of the Cowlitz Hatchery Complex consisting of the remodeled Cowlitz Salmon Hatchery, the remodeled Cowlitz Trout Hatchery, and three satellite rearing facilities, for the duration of this license. The principal stocks of fish to be produced are the indigenous stocks of spring chinook, fall chinook, coho, sea-run cutthroat trout, and late winter-run steelhead."
Can't say that I could ever support or work with American Rivers again!
