Submission:
Robust populations of healthy wild Pacific salmon are vitally important contributors to their ecosystems and to wild salmon dependent cultures and economies on both sides of the common border between Canada and the United States.

Legislation developed by US Senator Maria Cantwell (Washington State) and the other west coast senators must be embraced in both great nations who have so very much riding on healthy wild salmon.

Now is the time for the necessary science to truly what is / are causing declines in wild Pacific salmon and on those that rely on them.
