Bottom line? 20 years ago a retiring bio told me the ONLY way to preserve salmon stocks and maintain harvest was simple. All harvest must be terminal. ( for everyone, AK / WA / OR / BC / CA ) It would mean change but for all it means you have to manage watershed by watershed.

I told him he was nuts! Now I am 62 worked to restore fish for 30 years and you know what? He was not just right 20 years ago but absolutely, 100%, not a bit wrong. It is the critical fact that has a price to do BUT if we don't we will ( and the fish ) pay the price anyway. Not to many choices as what we have to do but what we have at the present can not be maintained.
