While I agree that the culverts must be fixed there are few arguments that I wish the Supremes would have answered.

The state has to fix culverts upstream of existing barriers. It is simply a waste of money to fix passage is system without the fish to use it. Start at the bottom and work upstream.

Culverts are "easy". Dams have destroyed more salmon habitat than a culvert ever hoped to, as has building in floodplains, building levees, and so on. If the Tribes' have a right to fish produced by the habitat as it existed in pre-treaty times, is there a limit?

This case, or something like it, will be back in the courts.
