Here's an article that appeared in today's Seattle Times. Thought some of you might be interested.

"Runs of fall chinook salmon to the Sacramento River in California's Central Valley were 33 percent of what fishery biologists expected in 2007. This year, even lower returns are projected. Coho-salmon returns to California and Oregon are also projected to be down this year, with some preliminary estimates showing only 27 percent of adult salmon returning to some California streams.
Oregon Coast coho don't look much better. And coho are already listed as either endangered or threatened in the Central and Northern California and Southern Oregon watersheds.
Washington salmon returns have been relatively unaffected, because most of the salmon returning to Washington's coast and river systems are coming home from the Bering Sea.
Ocean conditions there have been favorable for salmon."
