One of the reasons why folks are not behind habitat improvement is that there is no benefit to them. Local landowner in R6 asked just how many more fish he would see spawning in his restored/improved habitat. Answer was none, as the additional fish would be caught.

In the middle of reading a look at what a century of human impact has done to the avifauna of western NA. Significant reductions in top predators (birds) due to variety of reasons, with fishing being in the mix. Salmon are a critical part of the habitat; Jeff Cederholm used to say that "salmon are habitat". This piecemeal approach will not work.
