The point is the landowner is being asked to spend money to benefit somebody else. While I agree that we all have greater responsibilities to society, it should not be simply a one-way street.


Okay, your point is now clear even if there are no details supporting that the individual in question was actually spending his own money on restoration (could be on his property but funded by others). But, again, the point is made.

And I agree!

But let's not forget all of the land owners whose use of their property has been limited by law in the name of habitat protection and fish restoration without compensation.

Managers at all levels need to work together to ensure that all of those efforts are rewarded by spawning numbers well in excess of minimums.
