target wild steelhead. They'll use any additional impacts to
account for bycatch in other fisheries (spring chinook, hatchery
steelhead and sockeye). The Chinook and sockeye fisheries are
big money, and jeopardized when steelhead impacts get too high.

Island, WA     Ratings: +26 / 0     After seeing the tactics of
the scuba diving community where they threatened and harassed a
fellow scuba diver over the lawful take of an octopus, it seems
to me if people really want to make a difference similar tactics
should be used. The threats of violence worked. They are getting
a hearing and the fish and game commission is considering
several options including banning the take of octopus in the
Puget Sound, and the take of any marine animal off the dive
beaches in Seattle.
