Salmon Fisheries in The Pacific Northwest
Bruce Knecht shared this article about the sad state of the Pacific Salmon. It is a frustrating situation, when you consider how much taxpayer money has been spent, with the result being that species are being driven into extinction without much tangible benefit to the farmers and residents of the areas the dams are supposed to benefit. Bruce is the author of Pirates, Poaching and the Perfect Fish, a fascinating story not only about an epic pursuit of fish poachers, but also how a “trash fish” can be made into a culinary darling.
