Endangered fall chinook are guaranteed to run with their Hanford Reach cousins. Gill nets are non-discriminating, they catch big salmon. The returning endangered Snake River salmon are the object of Columbia and Snake River salmon recovery. Proper harvest management is critical for successful salmon recovery. The purchase of endangered salmon for two dollars a pound is more than enough motive to keep the harvest going.
Uninformed citizens help defeat successful salmon recovery.
This is a great salmon recovery disconnect.
