Perhaps no person has more control over the fate of Columbia River salmon and dams today than a 79-year-old Red Sox fan who doesn't fish or much care for the taste of salmon.
He has warned of a broader court takeover of dam operations if the plan again doesn't pass muster.

decals can be applied to most smooth surfaces including plastic, glass

Established in 2003 by the Park County Tourism Office and local
ranchers, the goal of this not-for-profit program is to develop and
maintain public recreation opportunities on private lands. With a grant
from Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) South Park Fly Fishers have secured several fly-fishing
leases on private ranches in South Park. The majority of each rod fee
goes directly to the participating rancher. The balance is used to
maintain and improve each property and the program.

The Pew Environment Group recently acquired documents from the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revealing that three Chilean salmon
farming companies, including the two largest producers of farmed
salmon, used a number of drugs not approved by the U.S. government.
These chemicals include the antibiotics flumequine and oxolinic acid
and the pesticide emamectin benzoate. The documents further show that
the farmed salmon containing residues of unapproved chemicals were
destined for the U.S. market.
Chile is the primary source of farmed salmon consumed in the United States. LINK

Alexandra Morton kicks ass.
The B.C. Supreme Court ruled Monday the federal government — not the
province — has exclusive jurisdiction over the management of salmon
farming, a landmark decision hailed as a victory for the future of wild
stocks.
“The regulation of fish farming by the province is ultra
vires, beyond its power,” said a triumphant Greg McDade, the lawyer who
pursued the case on behalf of independent sea-lice researcher Alexandra
Morton and others.
