Restoring salmon runs should be priority #1 in the PacNW (and the world)- - to let this panacea wither away would is a tragic loss. If electromagnetic spectrum is considered a national resource, then why not salmon?

who says their not?
Submitted by emmettoconnell on Wed, 10/01/2008 - 8:43am.Salmon, or at least salmon fisheries, are managed through a system of interlocking tribal, federal and state systems. Basically, the tribe's and the state (in this case Washington) agree on a package of fisheries and then that package is submitted to the federal government, who inserts it into a coastwide plan and approves it.
There are also international venues such as the Pacific Salmon Commission that deal with the international aspects of management.
While salmon management may not be as straight forward as I assume electromagnetic spectrum management is (I'm really assuming its straight forward), it would be a stretch to say that salmon is not considered a "national resource."

Submitted by chad360 on Wed, 10/01/2008 - 9:02am....Spectrum management is a silly, convoluted process, and if you read through the info at usa.gov and DHS and find some mention of salmon then please let me know =)
...in fact Emmett, if you find salmon mentioned in the NIPP I'll eat my lunch =)
As far as I can tell, salmon is not considered the same as a bridge or even Washington apples =(
To me, salmon habitat degradation represents one of the biggest mistakes we ever made, and I appreciate how hard it is to draft laws that protect migratory resources...
...I hope folks realize that salmon is life, and we-all should strive to be good stewards, not just ignorant consumers~
Thanks for your comment Emmett, i so hope I'm wrong~
