A solution to Salmon scarcity

March 17, 2008 · 1 Comment

Reported in the NYT and elsewhere - West coast salmon numbers are low, fishing likely to be shutdown. It seems like every 12-18 months there is a big outcry over the lack of salmon. You want more salmon? Here is your solution.

  1. Remove dams and other river impediments.
  2. Shutdown the fishery for 4-5 years.
  3. Prosper.

And I mean that quite literally. This group, I believe, did an economic analysis and discovered that removing the Hells canyon dams would actually make money through tourism, fishing, etc..
