Closing the Hoh, as suggested, would leave the Hoh Tribe with no place to fish. The other tribes would probably not feel like inviting them over to fish.

Also. the fisheries in the ocean certainly take most of the Chinook harvest and a big chunk of the coho. So closing the river only helps some. the only logical place to harvest, especially when some runs are down, is to harvest selectively in the rivers.

It took us more than 100 years of fishing and habitat destruction to get here; it will take a lot longer than 5 years to get the trajectory pointed in the right direction.
