All tastiness aside, the discrepancy in funding for protecting different species in the case of Chinook salmon and steelhead makes perfect sense. Salmon is the lifeblood of the pacific northwest. It feeds the forests, wildlife, communities, and the economy. It is no surprise that nearly 80% of funding was devoted to these two species. Populations of Chinook salmon and steelhead have declined rapidly since the 1980s and it appears despite our best efforts they are continuing to decline.…
