How about a re-write of the Canada-US Pacific Salmon Treaty that requires our neighbors up north to financially compensate these programs that they are almost entirely catching? How can we not ask for this?…. 94% is mind boggling and a huge waste of state resources.

The better solution, of course, would be to eliminate all ocean commercial fisheries thus allowing the fish to reach maximum size and return to their rightful river and country. The country/regions doing the tough work through enhancement and habitat work would get to (rightfully) reap the rewards of that work. The regions doing squat would have to look in the mirror and get their $hit together on their own rivers.

We all know the odds of that happening though, don't we?
