Folks,
Received emails from two retired Govt. bios. Neither supported the Central Alberta Program as presented and indicated that the real issues lie how trout habitat is dealt with in Alberta.
They a pointed out many issues with the Program
So far I have permission to publish one of the emails for those interested. I warn you, it is long. ( I suspect the length is s product of extensive Govt training)
One thing I've never seen addressed is the effect of WD on any recovery. From the Montana experience, our fisheries are in for a very rough ride. Keep booting the can down the road w/o any real commitment to stop the habitat destruction will delay or negate any efforts. Montana, unlike Alberta, has low levels of mining, oil/gas, cows, OHV's in thier watersheds which translates into any WD recovery or any recovery for that matter in Alberta taking a lot longer.
Regards,
Don
