Good morning,
Over-fishing? Pollution? Maybe both. But whatever the reason
the extremely popular and once abundant king salmon that
thrived in the ocean off California and most of Oregon has
all but disappeared.
If there is a glaring and frightening call for a close look
at how we are treating our environment and the food it pro-
vides us it is this.

Salmon fishing was banned along the West Coast for the first
time in 160 years, a decision that is expected to have a
devastating economic impact on fishermen, dozens of businesses,
tourism and boating.
The closure of commercial and recreational fishing for chinook
salmon in the ocean off California and most of Oregon was an-
nounced by the National Marine Fishery Service.
It followed the recommendation last month of the Pacific
Fishery Management Council after the catastrophic disap-
pearance of California's fabled fall run of the pink fish
popularly known as king salmon.
Although salmon spawning has been in decline all up and down
the coast, the biggest problem is in the Sacramento River and
its tributaries. So few salmon returned last fall that the
fishery council was required under its management plan to halt
fishing throughout the salmon habitat, which is all along the
California and Oregon coasts.
