Federal regulators have voted to impose severe restrictions on salmon fishing off the coasts of Oregon and Northern California to protect dwindling populations in the Klamath River.
The Pacific Fishery Management Council decided to close about 700 miles of coastline to commercial salmon fishing for most of June and July.
Those are generally the most productive months of the season.

Ah, yes, Salmon.
The ONLY "endangered species" that is freely available in any grocery store.

The problem is the commercial fishing with nets. Cut out the net fishing in rivers, the mouths of rivers, and in smaller sounds and the fish will come back. One of the other problems is, they worry about WILD salmon, like there is a difference between wild and hatchery raised fish. Those that believe in evolution, will go to any length to stop changes from happening. They profess the perfection before man came, and insist on acheiving this mythical state forever.

The sea lions also kill many salmon. They take one bite and move on to the next fish.
The sea lions can not be hunted even by the local Indians who had previously hunted them for centuries.
With many fishing families and communities at risk, some folks , soon, may not be able to pay their mortgages on their boats nor their homes.

My dad's an ex-commercial salmon fisherman. This will be very, very tough on them, their families and the industry of coastal communities.

The ONLY "endangered species" that is freely available in any grocery store. Seeing that ocean salmon runs around $16/lb. where I live, "freely" might not be the best choice of a word.

Once the PETA lawyers and emotional judges succeed in bankrupting the coastal communities, then Ted Turner and his friends will buy up the local communities.
They will build eco-resorts where their liberal Hollywood friends can find "sanctuary" at an expensive price.

The list of destroyed middle class occupations that the liberal elite attacks is amazing.
"Logging is Bad," so they say. Then small, rural towns loose their main income source and go broke.
"Mining is bad,"...same thing.
"Hunting is Bad,"...same thing.
Grazing livestock in the summer is "Bad"...
Now..."Fishing is Bad."

I voted NO.
Heck, I'd be willing to bring my old Chinese SKS and do it myself, but I bet several thousand local fishermen would beat me to it.
