Fishery managers with the Pacific Fishery Management Council voted Tuesday for a total closure of ocean salmon seasons from southern Oregon to northern California. Smith said the fishing seasons from Florence, Oregon, to San Francisco are so grim they will likely qualify for fishing disaster assistance. Managers are expecting to see less than 12,000 Chinook salmon returning to the Klamath River this year, which means tribes that fish on the river will also be severely limited in how many fish they can catch. Thomas Wilson of the 6,100-member Yurok Tribe said the allocation for his tribe of 650 fish is by far the lowest they’ve ever received. That will force the tribe to cancel its commercial fishing season for the second year in a row. “This is about one fish for every 10 Yurok people,” Wilson told members of the Pacific Fishery Management Council. “That’s not enough for us to live. The Yurok people people are fishing people. It’s our identity. Without fish we are nothing. We cease to exist.” [link to www.opb.org] I'm sure Fukushima has nothing to do with this right?
