Good questions! My understanding is that the Frazer River Chinook have been a primary source and secondarily Puget Sound Chinook. Southern WA coast/CR????

But at least they are proposing GF money although a State study would seem redundant to Federal actions/responsibilities. How about the Feds look at how northern fisheries are impacting P.S. returns relative to both Orcas and WA's ESA listed salmonids and effect some positive recovery actions.
