I've not heard anyone except fishermen discuss trawling.

For as much as I've come to despite King Inslee, I do think his orca task force would be up to taking on that industry.
Also stumbled upon this this morning, 18 yrs ago: https://www.seattlepi.com/national/article/bottom-trawling-nations-block-ban-1220713.php
Sure would have been nice.

Too bad we couldn't have just gone through with it and dropped anti trawling 'artificial reefs' in targeted areas.
Point of clarification- that’s 10 dead orcas last year alone.
One dead orca for any one of us is a felony. 10 for trawling is a footnote, and the cost of doing business. Got it.

I threw down a few $$ as well. The more I read about trawling the worse I view it.

Muddying the waters: Court-ordered dam drawdowns kill fish, frustrate residents
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was forced to empty the reservoirs by a September 2021 injunction, the result of a lawsuit filed by environmental groups Northwest Environmental Defense Center,
Interesting article. I hadn't heard that this was going on in the Willamette basin. I was at Green Peter Reservoir for the first time last summer and heard a few folks complaining about the Corps, but they couldn't express what the actual issue was.

Were they trying to say that spring Chinook smolt were in the river and needed flushed out by mimicking fall rains?Muddying the waters: Court-ordered dam drawdowns kill fish, frustrate residents

Pretty much standard for people who sit around bitching. Green Pete is pretty neat country, found a few ounces of gold up there as a kid.Muddying the waters: Court-ordered dam drawdowns kill fish, frustrate residents

I’m surprised anything can survive the Columbia gorge nets.

Interesting that it's a similar mortality event that they experienced at Green Peter. It won't be a problem for long on the Klamath, but perhaps not the best method for facilitating migration.
When I first heard of a draw down to allow for migration I thought it was a neat idea. Bad week in the news for it though.
Large number of 830,000 salmon fry die after released into California river
A large number of around 830,000 salmon fry released into Northern California’s Klamath River are believed to have died after they suffered gas bubble disease, state wildlife officials said Monday.

it is a great idea, just executed very poorly. You want to increase the speed a which the smolts outmigrate, but you have to collect them and pipe them away from the bubbles.Top headlines banner from Yahoo this morning. I've been watching the story spread for a few days now locally.

They achieve very high survival rates.

I wonder if it's easier to do this successfully through a run of the river dam vs a reservoir dam? Have to take that to google when I'm back in the office maybe.
Sounded like a big issue for the draw down at Green Peter was they dumped a bunch of kokanee. Not the species of concern, but bad optics.

Heavy hitter from the Seattle Times on the lunacy of our federal injunction to replace all state owned culverts. There's a pile of blame to go around, the tribes are simply getting what they can without any actual concerns about salmon (which I tend to think happens more and more), the State itself is doing an absolute piss poor job, and the federals judges... man it really just shows that logic isn't included in the room when judicial decisions are made.

In case you can't read, WA is currently spending 1 million per day replacing culverts in puget sound, and still needs about 4 billion, which, to quote the article could replace all the WA ferries (21 in total) with brand new all electric boats, but instead we'll get overpriced bridges and box culverts that don't actually have salmon even present.
Removing WA salmon barriers hits $1M a day. What does it buy?
Washington, rushing to meet a court deadline in a tribal fishing rights lawsuit, spends billions on construction, but some of it may be useless for salmon today.
