And as more people move to AK, as the Tongass gets logged, as fisheries increase in harvest, AK will follow the rest of the West Coast in destroying their salmon and other fish stocks.

Even if the AK marine mixed-stock fishery are held where they are now, the decline in BC, WA, and OR stocks that feed it will mean their stocks get hit harder. If the Internet is any measure, AK Chinook (Yukon,Kenai, and elsewhere) are not doing too well.

They're just a few decades behind us. And, as in human nature, they will ignore history as we did.
