I just sent two emails to friends who work in upscale restaurants. I figure if I can dissuade even one restaurant from serving this fish, then I've helped in a small way. If enough people stopped buying the fish, maybe the markets will help to eliminate this fishery.

This issue is an easy one to argue to anyone. We pay more to raise the hatchery fish than the commercials receive for them. So, both from economic and environmental standpoint, it doesn't make sense.

Everyone should let people know that they should think twice about buying Columbia River spring chinook. It's the best tool we have in our capitalistic system.
