Grandpa... regarding "balance"

what you fail to see is that the system we have been operating under and are still operationg under is extremely unbalanced towards the non protection of wild salmon and steelhead.. anything moving towards balance can consist ONLY of more restrictive requirements for all sources of impact...

we are massively lopsided against wild fish on harvest issues, on habitat issues and on hatchery issues.. to move towards balance the pro hatcheries have to give stuff up the pro harvesters have to give up stuff and the habitat destroyers have to give up stuff.. meanwhile wild fish have to give up nothing at all... the only way to balance our managment approach is for everyone to sacrifice for the fish... the fish can sacrifice no more.. they have already done their fair share for balance...


as far as the sky falling... well anyone who cannot see that the sky has already fallen and we are now crushed under it simply does not understand what we have already lost....
