The Stated Reasons for Sidestepping Harvest in
ESA Recovery Planning Don't Add Up.
1. "Harvest is not a significant factor in the mortality of ESA-listed salmon."
– This is false. Harvest kills many ESA-listed, spawning-ready salmon.
• Snake River fall chinook: total harvest has ranged from 40-70+ percent of adults.
• Puget Sound chinook: the catch in Canada increased 36% in 2003 (while Tribes cut back).
• Snohomish River: County's habitat effort assumes 25% harvest; actual is about 50%.
• Steelhead: NOAA Fisheries now proposes to triple "incidental take" in Columbia fishery.
– What matters is (a) the high proportion we harvest, not the absolute number, and (b)
that the salmon we harvest (adults) are the only ones able to contribute to recovery.
