James___ ★★★★★ (5513)	At the same time, the towering dams have proven disastrous for salmon that struggle to navigate past them on human-made fish ladders as they swim upstream to spawn and die after spending most of their lives in the Pacific Ocean. Salmon are unique in that they hatch in freshwater streams and then make their way hundreds of miles to the ocean, where they spend years before finding their way back to their natal streams to mate, lay eggs and die. Snake River sockeye were the first species in the Columbia River Basin listed under the Endangered Species Act in 1991. Now, 13 salmon runs are listed as federally endangered or threatened. Scientists also warn that southern resident orcas are starving to death because of a dearth of the chinook salmon that are their primary food source. The Puget Sound population of orcas — also called killer whales — was placed on the endangered species list in 2005. A mother orca that carried her dead baby on her back for 17 days brought international attention in 2018 as their numbers have dwindled to fewer than 80 animals. https://www.yahoo.com/news/report-assess-removal-4-snake-041006054.html

And without Trump, it's sad that you don't get it Harvey. The first 2 years of his presidency, nothing happened because Senator Mitch McConnell let nothing happen. The trade war with China is Trump attacking Mitch McConnell's family. McConnell represents my state. He and his wife Elaine Chao are taking America in a "New Direction". President Trump cannot seat a judge, pass a law or pass a budget. He can only approve of Senator Mitch McConnell doing that. Putin is changing the Russian Constitution so once out of office as president he can have McConnell's power in America. Trump is a nobody. He has no power. He can launch a trade war against the Senate Majority leader but that is about it. And please remember, I live in Kentucky. I know what our esteemed leader, Senate Majority Leader McConnell is doing. He is shaping America in his image, the Democratic Republic of China.

James___ ★★★★★ (5513)	I'll give you an easy out on this Harvey. If we drain the rivers for fresh water, there won't be no salmon. Problem solved. Next would be your enjoying soy hamburgers and soy shakes with soy fries. Soybeans are one of the easiest crops to grow. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/soybean/soybean-growing-information.htm If we don't protect the environment, we do have alternatives. I hope you like this Harvey. It is what you are promoting. And Harvey, I absolutely love this. Americans prefer soy protein to a healthy environment. I mean really, who could buy this type of support for recycling or conservationism? Protect the environment or go soy! Money simply can't buy this type of promo. Edited on 29-02-2020 09:13

Fresh water falls from the sky, rivers won't dry out, we aren't going to run out. 80% of the planet surface is water. Humidity is usually pretty high in Florida, my condensation pump on my AC unit runs a lot, and that's a byproduct of cooling my home. I doubt it would be too difficult, to extract water from the humid air intentionally, on a larger scale. You do realize than man isn't the only predator on the planet, that over hunts? There can be many reason why the salmon run was weak. Fish hatcheries release the young salmon when they are small. Not all of them make it out to the ocean. Other fish and animals learn the schedule over the years too, easy feast. They also know when the adults return to spawn. I grew up in the northwest, not all rivers a suitable for dams. They can't completely stop the flow of water. The run off from mountain snow melt needs to go some place. It rains a lot in Oregon, and rain doesn't soak into rock very quick, needs to go some place. I don't see your fear of fresh water, there is is always plenty, and refreshed often. Water management evolves with a need. Change comes when the need exceeds the supply. Demand keeps prices high, so there is no incentive to those getting rich, to increase supply, as long as they have all they can sell.

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5196)	Thought China was communist... Back to the fish story... I don't think killer whales settle, they move around quite a bit. Maybe there are fewer, because Puget Sound isn't working for them anymore. Maybe Washington started dumping raw sewage, and others stuff in there again. Maybe they got tired of being hit by large boats, sometimes intentionally. The poor salmon run, has to be that they were slacking off at the fish hatcheries. Oregon and California had there best season in a decade or more. Should have been any different for Washington. Most of the comercial salmon fishing is done in the ocean.

HarveyH55 wrote: Back to the fish story... I don't think killer whales settle, they move around quite a bit. Maybe there are fewer, because Puget Sound isn't working for them anymore. Quite right. There are no 'Puget Sound orcas', because they wander in and out of the sound. There is food here, but better food is in the ocean, particularly near a shoreline where the surf isn't too great. HarveyH55 wrote: Maybe Washington started dumping raw sewage, and others stuff in there again. Nope. My family helped to get Metro started. I myself built and maintain instrumentation at these treatment plants. The nearest city dumping raw sewage into the ocean is Victoria, B.C. Oh, and orcas can be seen offshore from there also. HarveyH55 wrote: Maybe they got tired of being hit by large boats, sometimes intentionally. Hitting an orca with a both WILL damage the boat, perhaps enough to sink it. I did know of one seaplane pilot that was making his takeoff run when a blue whale surface right in front of him. He launched the plane right off the back of the thing, just as it was blowing water from it's blowhole. The whale probably had no idea what that thing that skied off it's back even was! The whale was undamaged, and submerged again after the plane was in the air. HarveyH55 wrote: The poor salmon run, has to be that they were slacking off at the fish hatcheries. The salmon run is actually doing pretty well. The fish hatcheries have to tag the salmon they release because they aren't 'natural'. HarveyH55 wrote: Oregon and California had there best season in a decade or more. Washington has been getting good runs of late also. HarveyH55 wrote: Should have been any different for Washington. It really isn't. HarveyH55 wrote: Most of the commercial salmon fishing is done in the ocean. True, especially up north where there is colder water and more food for the salmon. You can get some BIG ones up there! The various indian tribes hunt for salmon in Puget Sound and use nets in the Columbia river for them.
