Thanks for the insight Carcasman. When I see the numbers of southern bound salmon caught in the northern fisheries it seems it would get a lot more attention in the scheme of recovering Wa. Salmon stocks. I would think that dumping billions into recovery projects would create some “horsepower” to force at least a compromise on passing more fish south. It just seems to me that the interception fisheries are low hanging fruit in getting some real results and that some portion of the recovery funds could be applied towards a buyout or something like that. Pay for some fishing quota? I just think it’s weird this doesn’t get the attention it deserves from the salmon recovery entities.
