Considering the current state of the Columbia’s wild steelhead and salmons runs, as well as the fact that their survival is only going to become increasingly difficult due to climate change, we need to be doing everything we can to eliminate threats to salmonid recovery and responsibly manage our fisheries. This week, the WSC sent a letter to the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission urging them to reject a misguided proposal to reinstate destructive gillnet fisheries on the mainstem lower Columbia River, which would have a serious impact on the Columbia’s struggling wild steelhead and salmon stocks.
