People need to see the film "Wild Reverence". Listen to what they are saying and what the data show...then think carefully about what you think is realistic in the future for Puget Sound (and other) rivers. Perhaps we save the wild runs that can be saved and operate hatcheries in the rivers that have designated harvestable runs, like the Cowlitz. The opportunities for harvest are not going to be the same and it's going to be a hard pill to swallow. It's surely not going to happen overnight either...it's going to take some time. I foresee some difficult negotiations with the Tribes too. This may get worse before it gets better.

P.S. the film is not sponsored by the WFC
