The new NWIFC Magazine features a round up of salmon management successes by the tribes which are yielding results for all fishermen.
From the management roundup:
While overall salmon populations continue to decline mostly because of lost and damaged habitat, 2009 was a bright year for many stocks. Indian and non-Indian fishermen enjoyed harvests in some areas for the first time in years. While the tribal and state co-managers work hard every day to minimize impacts to wild salmon stocks from harvest and hatchery practices, salmon recovery will ultimately be successful only with a strong commitment to protecting and restoring salmon habitat.
