These are ecoSYSTEMS. Steelhead were abundant because salmon were abundant because water was abundant because trees were abundant and mature because................

Stopping SH harvest fixes one problem but until you allow more salmon to spawn, until the riparian zones recover, and so on.

It should be obvious that the solution to salmon recovery is complex. The problem is that it is so complex that no one factor is responsible. It allows each "user" tp say it is them and not me.

I know that I push for increased salmon escapement as a solution. But, if we don't maintain stream flows, restore floodplains, fix the estuaries, and so on we will never get recovery; just keep the populations arouind as museum pieces.
