Re: California cancels salmon fishing season
#2I've been Salmon fishing in California since I can remember. There are few things I love more than being on the water going for Kings as the sun comes up.
I'm really bummed we won't have a season, but having more fish in the future is worth the short term cost.

#3> Last year, 196,000 adult fish were expected to return to the Sacramento River to spawn but only 60,000 showed up.
70% decline
If your business depends on this fishing season, what do you do? Go bartend?

I saw a bartender fishing in 2020 when everything was closed. So, why not?

I'm not sure if it's in the best long term interest of the entire state if a few niche businesses based entirely around salmon fishing have a bad year. The calculus is those businesses will either struggle now or struggle forever when most of the fish are gone

Start a catfish farm.

In my state, all the lobster fishing people have a "co op" to jointly decide how to manage the public resource of the fish in our waters so that they can come together and make the kind of conservation decisions together, and create some force to prevent anyone from defecting and catching everything in a down year. This gives them more stability year to year and a little bit of possible price fixing.
Just don't call it a union.

It can’t hurt, but I don’t think something like this is really going to fix the problem. Dams, water levels abs temperatures, ocean trawling, acidification … there’s lots and lots of stress on salmon population aside from anglers.

Of course not. The more accurate word is "cartel" (note: I see management of a shared resource as a perfectly legitimate justification for cartel behavior).
