On the other hand, around 75 K or so chinook spawners are killed by FN's in the same river each year, with Fishless Ocean's blessing. Translates to one hell of a lot of potential smolts the following year.
But nope, let's curtail everyone one else, and tuck our heads firmly up our backsides instead...

The nets and shore fishers stop eggs from being deposited. The salmon have no chance to reproduce. Many have learned that the seals and sea lions are nothing more than an agenda, a distraction from other events. Some haven't.
