New article in the Seattle times.

Quote

In 2011, spending by all federal agencies on chinook salmon — more than $270 million — was greater than the amount spent by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service trying to recover all of the more than 1,400 other species on America’s endangered species list.

I would love to see a headline about Canada doing the same!

What about us? Cut, cut and more cuts, at least for the hatchery fish. But there is not one cut on our license fees  :D
