The removal of the Elwha Dams created a unique opportunity to restore a wild run of steelhead.
Unbelievably fisheries biologists are now transporting hatchery raised steelhead, along with some wild fish, above the former Elwha dam sites.
As the video, audio and link below show, those that earn their living off the robust economy of hatcheries continue to spin the debate about hatchery vs wild fish.
How bout this?
Regardless of the of "ongoing" debate, you're squandering a once in a lifetime opportunity to win one for wild fish. Instead of transporting those hatchery raised fish to the clear tributaries above the dismantled dams you would have been better served pairing them with a cedar plank and a nice Chardonnay.
It's bullshit, utter fucking bullshit.
