We don't manage anything that has to do with fish or natural resources Todd, we only limit the destruction. We limit how many we are going to kill, we limit how much habitat we we will destroy, we limit...........well I think you get the point.

Simply modern society and salmonids are incompatible...........period. Rather than change our ways we take careful steps ( sometimes ) that reduce or mask humans impacts on our environment but never, never do we stop or reverse directions as to the steady destruction / modification of the natural world.

This thing on the Elwha is such a tiny step in the big picture, so long in coming with so much at risk, and we bitch that it did not achieve the perfect goals? Sometimes this BB is and amazing place for ideas, and sometimes not. I think the not has the lead in this thread!
