NOPE... that's because none of our local hatcheries are set up for recovery.

They're either outright harvest programs or mitigation (which basically is mitigating forgone natural production for.... you guessed it... more HARVEST).

No doubt about it, harvest takes THE prime seat at the head of the table in Region 6. And lip-service aside, neither of the co-managers' actions demonstrate that either gives a dam about conservation in a purely harvest-oriented context.

Recovery? WTF is that?
