Statements like "Federal involvement is also crucial to the long term survival of salmon" are POV, no? --Lukobe 06:19, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

If the best you can do is USAToday, then . . .

Feedback Welcome and Encouraged

I live in Puget Sound and am trying to add more citations and wordsmith this article to meet the Wiki standards. Just finished the section on salmon survival. Feedback welcome and encouraged, particularly from the author. --Groovyjoker 15:16, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I helped write this page as part of a class at the University of Washington. Someone might want to contact Prof. Patrick Christie about it; he'd be interested in the changes. --Chucklebean

Wow, I just found this page and no offence to anybody working on it, but this page does need more work. It seems to have over emphasized the posible negative impacts of hatcheries, seems to have mixed some of the Columbia River hydro issues in (I tried to edit that a bit) and seems to be lacking on discussion of other anthropogenic issues such as population, urban development, sewage, stuff like that. It also seems like a lot of opinions have crept in - hard not to do I suppose. I also dont really get why there is a section on the "evolution of salmon". I can totaly see a section on salmon - maybe status and trends of populations or something, but Evolution?? (nothing personal against evolution in general). I have been a little reluctant to be so bold as to wack out an entire section of something somebody else wrote but I might do it in this case. --Smartone100
