Smalma

The shrinking of Chinook and the other species was well known 30-40 years ago. But, when push came to shove WDFW said they aren't getting smaller.

When the draft document circulated in WDFW the initial intent (we were told) was that this would be part of the public comments and responded to as it was a Fed document. After getting comments like "the fish are shrinking" and such it was decided that WDFW was one of authors, so these were internal comments that didn't need to be publicly admitted to or responded to. Fisheries need to be protected.
