Does this include WA waters??? Funny it has not been in the local papers.
Whatever, when will folks realize the unrealistic challenge of man managing an entire eco system?
The liberal and conservative worlds need to learn that there are real limits. No matter how many hatcheries we build, the expansion of human habitat can only come at the expense of natural habitat and I find it hard to believe we can create a natural world for the salmon.
There is a corollary of all this .... evolution and religon, in different ways, suggest that nature or God will save the salmon .. presumabkly by destroiying us or mutating them. Do you suppose the fndies might pray for evolution of the salmon to adapt to our needs? Try this cool blog written by a salmon.
All salmon fishing banned on West Coast:
Salmon fishing was banned along the West Coast for the first time in 160 years Thursday, a decision that is expected to have a devastating economic impact on fishermen, dozens of businesses, tourism and boating.
Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez immediately declared a commercial fishery disaster, opening the door for Congress to appropriate money for anyone who will be economically harmed.
The closure of commercial and recreational fishing for chinook salmon in the ocean off California and most of Oregon was announced by the National Marine Fishery Service.
It followed the recommendation last month of the Pacific Fishery Management Council after the catastrophic disappearance of California's fabled fall run of the pink fish popularly known as king salmon.
It is the first total closure since commercial fishing started in the Bay Area in 1848.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency last month and sent a letter to President Bush asking for his help in obtaining federal disaster assistance. Schwarzenegger plans to appropriate about $5.3 million for coastal salmon and steelhead fishery restoration projects.
The disaster declaration allows state officials to work with Congress on obtaining appropriations for businesses and fishermen and women, some of whom will lose as much as 80 percent of their annual income.
Although salmon spawning has been in declin"
