Thank you Haines for taking the time to learn about Ballot Measure 1 and voting “No.” Our fisheries do need help. Research shows that mortality is occurring in the marine environment with changing ocean conditions (acidification, warming, marine predation, illegal fishing). Now that this measure has failed I am hopeful that we can direct attention to learning more about why mortality is occurring in the marine environment and what we can do to effect positive change to protect the salmon runs for our future generations.
