Title: ‘Worst Ever Return’ Of Puget Sound Steelhead
Post by: IronNoggin on February 10, 2020, 11:10:10 AM

“This is the worst ever return to Puget Sound,” Eleazer said. “It plays into the same thing as the Skagit — poor freshwater and saltwater rearing conditions.”

“There’s a Puget Sound element that’s applying extra pressure that we don’t understand,” he stated.

Predation by harbor seals has been eyed as a serious problem for young steelhead migrating out of Deep South Sound and Hood Canal.

The Canary In The Coalmine is in trouble in more places than simply the Canadian West Coast. I am deeply saddened, and deeply troubled by the continuing loss of a resource I love so dearly...
