And little else?
These two responses to recommendations were the easiest and cheapest. Salmon farming had no plans to expand in the area so expediting that recommendation was a no brainer. The second, a comprehensive disease screening process was going to happen anyway as the science, techniques and protocols have been evolving for a while now but perhaps was pushed a bit by this 26M (you pick the word).
The hard ones to implement, the things that really impact Pacific salmon ... over fishing, climate change resulting in warmer water and changing hydrograghs , ocean acidification, habitat loss, pollution, blah, blah, will get lip service only because basically there are not enough people in this world with the mindset to repair the mess we have created.
As a stop gap to this gloom

think of what that 26M could have done for wild salmonid habitat on a few west coast watersheds...
