Not to put too fine a point on it, but this is a result-oriented poll, rather than an information gathering poll.

It's kind of a pro-lifer's poll asking if you are pro-life, or are you pro-death?

Don't directly harvest wild fish, work with tribal fish managers to lower or eliminate tribal impacts on wild runs, work with non-tribal commercial fishers to reduce or eliminate incidental impacts on wild steelhead, work with local, state, and federal government agencies to improve water quality, work to preserve existing habitat, restore damaged habitat, and create missing habitat, and improve hatchery practices to produce viable clipped-fish fisheries for tribal and non-tribal fisheries while minimizing the detrimental effects of hatcheries on wild fish runs, and perhaps even help wild runs.

Note that each of those priorities starts with the word "work", which brings me to my final and perhaps most important priority, which is to encourage every stakeholder to become more educated and involved in the processes that lead to reaching those goals.

There's probably more, too, but that's a few off the top of my head.

Fish on...
