Bit back a NOAA paper had total impacts on Chinook running about 86% of harvestable by BC & AK. This included everyone from trollers to Rec even draggers by catch if I recall correctly. CWT tags do it around 50% of harvestable. The simple fact is any gains from terminal conservation efforts and habitat restoration will and are quickly gobbled up by the marine fisheries. It is a zero sum game and is what it is.


The one thing it does do is point out the foolishness of billions spent in habitat efforts be it preservation, restoration, hatchery reform, and not firmly address over harvest in the marine fisheries.
