Terms like "science-based evidence" are easy to throw around, but biologists in Puget Sound don't agree with you or double haul.

The fact is, there isn't any evidence that suggests detrimental effects from these programs is or has caused declines of the native populations. The data that does exist shows extremely limited introgression to the point that no one can make any claims about detrimental effects.

If you have evidence that biologists haven't seen yet, you should reveal it.
