how much habitat can you buy for 32 million a year? thats what WFC says is the way we should proceed. Maybe the Skagit estuary and a significant portion of its lower river farms over 10 years or so. but that amount of money wouldn't even touch the Seattle harbor. or Tacoma, or Everett. Maybe Olympia... and that's not even including any of the headwater habit destruction. the number of years to "restore habitat" at that investment level stretches well past my lifetime I am sure. and if you box up all the habitat buy all the houses on every river, every lake and all of Puget Sound... those 10 million people will have no where to live. extinction seems the most likely outcome to me.
