Exclamation Politics Before Science: New Chinook Regulations Announced

“Chasing the shiny penny of implementing fishery restrictions to recover stocks is a failed strategy—we know this from our 20-year experience to recover interior Thompson coho without success. Restrictions are nothing more than placing lipstick on the pig, and this government has failed to make strategic investments such as habitat improvement, water quality, enhancement, and predator control that address the real causes of Chinook declines. This government took the cheap way out, and their so-called bold investment will amount to nothing more than standing back and watching this stock dwindle to extinction.”

Yup quite disappointing. Apparently governments always seem to avoid the root cause analysis. They just go the easy route. Seems the fisherman and fishing societies are the only ones with a few of the first nations bands who are actually trying to improve habitat.

Golly... have they ever considered what would happen if they ceased allowing netting in the river during critical dates?

Netting should be restricted by the very groups that do it if they care so much.
