"Might be a good time to admit, we don't REALLY know the answers huh? "

Yes, and no.

No, we don't really know what is going on with the marine survival of Puget Sound Steelhead...there are some POST studies that are going on now. The WSC has helped fund some of these studies, and further funding will be coming down that road as more tags and streams are added to the system.

No, we don't exactly know what the wild/hatchery interaction problems will do. Yes, we do know they are a problem, but to what extent is still up for review.

Yes, we do know that habitat is one of the limiting factors.

Yes, we do know that harvest hase been virtually at a standstill in Puget Sound for many years, and is not the problem.

Fish on...
