Native, Sport and Commercial #fishing for #WildSalmon is over folks! Populations have collapsed and they are not coming back. #Mankind has knowingly destroyed these species and there are no substitutes for their native habitats which are fouled or unreachable. It's another glaring example of #Ecocide. #WildPacificSalmon #WildAtlanticSalmon. Where were the #SalmonLeaders?

A Painful Reality: The 2023 Salmon Season - FISHBIO | Fisheries Consultants

For the past several weeks, news of the salmon fishery closure for the second straight year has been circulating broadly. To help understand what led to this unfortunate outcome, FISHBIO examines the key findings from the previous year’s salmon fishery that led to its current status.

If you want to #SaveWildSalmon then you must take a multi-pronged approach; 1/ Stop ALL FISHING until stocks recover fully. 2/ #RemoveTheDams and End all #WaterAbstractions. 3/ Prosecute #ECOKillers, Poachers and those who foul Rivers, Streams, Waterways and The Ocean. Be #SalmonLeaders and make the right decisions and stick to them. #WildPacificSalmon

Alaska has a plan to save its salmon but some Native leaders are wary

A new approach aims to restore fish levels in the Yukon River but some feel it unfairly targets traditional practices while failing to tackle huge losses to industrial fishing in the ocean

The Guardian

These are #SalmonGrifters, NOT #SalmonLeaders. Not only have they fished out all the #WildPacificSalmon, but they have blocked & thwarted all measures to protect them and to rebuild their stocks. They do not deserve your sympathy or support.
#SaveWildSalmon - End all Fishing - #RemoveTheDams - End all #WaterAbstractions.

@ianjames

We cannot #RemoveTheDams on the #Klamath (and all others) fast enough. They are #ECOKillers and have lead to the demise of #WildPacificSalmon everywhere. #WildSalmon deserve better. When they go, so will we.

Be a #SalmonLeader and #JustSayNO to all #HydroPower and #Irrigation schemes which hold back these waters. Let these Rivers #RunFastAndFree from #SourceToSea.

The demise of the #WildPacificSalmon comes as no shock to anyone paying attention. It is a completely man-made crisis. Where were the #SalmonLeaders during this time?
