A Key Event
The letter in suggesting something very new and untried allowed belief in hatcheries without much evidence. This belief moved the idea to branch, causing hatcheries to flourish and in their wake dams and aquaculture began to grow because of the "safety" of the hatchery safety net. But few are the benefits without detriments and the wild salmon began to suffer for the flourishing of river industries.This should of caused a reckoning, forcing a choice between the natural way and the economic growth but the choice has been largely put off and ignored. But the negative effects are becoming more and more obvious and there is no simple solution. |
