Speaking of scarce restoration dollars, I read something a while back that basically said we should give up on salmon restoration on many urban rivers like the Sky, Snoqulamie and Puyallup. The habitat is too degraded and the costs are too much given all the development that has occurred and would need to be compensated for to make the places truly work for fish. This article advocated spending money solely in places like the Peninsula or Skagit. Property is cheaper there. Development/problems are less there. There are fewer landowner's to compensate when you force them to change things. All around, the money is better spent on salmon restoration in these areas. It was an interesting point of view.
