Default FEDGOV wants to reduce salmon harvest, close hatcheries, to protect fish stocks

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/htm...salmon26m.html


Talk about a dilema.

Somebody's ox is going to wind up gored before this settles down, but
it is important to preserve the species.

Let's hope the legal eagles in DC recognize that sport fishing
generates more economic activity per salmon killed than does commercial
or tribal fishing, as sport fishermen probably have the least organized
lobby for grea$ing the $kids during the legi$lative proce$$

While it's important to feed hungry people and make corporate profits
in the present, it's also important to feed people and make profit in
the future.

Glad it isn't up to me to figure this out.......I'd be as clueless as
the present policy makers appear to be. One tough problem, IMO, and
each of the various solutions proposed seems pretty heavily biased
toward one special interest group or another.
