"With $20 million invested in the restoration of Tarboo Creek, it is
time to allow more salmon to survive the fishing nets, swim up the
stream and lay their eggs to produce even more coho and chum salmon.
That's the bottom line for Peter Bahls of Northwest Watershed
Institute, along with others who have worked hard for 10 years to make
Tarboo Creek more hospitable for salmon. But Bahls worries that all the
efforts to restore the Hood Canal stream in Jefferson County will be for
naught if current harvesting practices continue."

Salmon Must Survive To Swim Up Little Streams Too
Truly a shameful chapter in harvest management that almost all of the user groups, including the majority of the tribal co-managers, agree with a simple rule change that would protect this small population but one tribe can override it all.
How is this stewardship?
