Hatcheries are under attack by special interest lawsuits that are threatening to close 150 hatchery programs across Washington. Please sign and share.

I don't think some hatcheries in Washington have done as much as other strategies focused on wild fish could, given that hatcheries still make up 90% of the catch.

I'm in the minority, but I'd rather give up fishing salmon in Puget Sound for the next 20 years so my grandkids could have stable wild fisheries.

P.S. Lets start a petition to begin seal and sealion hunting. Without hatcheries those buggers are going to starve to death.

Shutting down hatcheries hurts everyone. :twocents:  However I completely agree that we need to start killing seals and sealions.

These groups that want the hatcheries closed don't want us to fish at all. Look at the way they even attack catch and release....

This may be true in the short term but the cost of managing these operation in the long term is not sustainable IMO. In many cases hatcheries are effectively susidized farm raised fish for public consumption. For the amount of time hatcheries have operated in Washington State I feel our expectations of wild fish recovery should be higher than 10% of the take.

I don't support groups that want to take opportunity away, I do think we could do better at managing for sustainable wild fish without hatcheries.

I understand it is not black and white. My understanding is there are some very effective hatcheries that use wild fish for brood stock.
