Coalition viewpoint…The description of the salmon fishing industry as presented by the author could also be written about many farm communities along the west side of the San Joaquin Valley. Both industries, fishing and farming, have been damaged from federal regulations, drought and natural factors beyond anyone’s control. Science, which the author calls on to rule the day, is providing updated information that factors other than water exports---ocean conditions, loss of habitat, diminishing water quality---from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta are having greater impact in the decline of salmon numbers. To point out only the exports as the cause of the problem is a disservice to anyone seeking the facts.
