If you don't have the "wipeout" fisheries to suck up hatchery fish there will be all sorts of bad press about restricting fishermen from "their" fish. Surplus fish at the hatchery is proof of poor management.

Since nothing in the Harbor is listed, management must be doing just fine.

Mr.Warren noted, at least once if not more often, that any additional wild fish produced through habitat restoration would be taken in catch, not escapement.

Those hatchery fish are grown to be killed. How much more money is brought into the Harbor economy by having a huge ocean fishery? I would guess that the average fish taken on a charter puts more money into the economy than the average fish taken by a bankie.

Years ago Jeff Cederholm wrote an artice about "Who speaks for the fish?". I think the answer, unfortunately, is nobody in power.
