And just which PS rivers would be "easaier" to repair? If they don'thave dams they have big cities on them. They have all those levees.

The beauty of the Elwha is that the only thing really wrong with the habitat is the dams. Remove them, and you have a free flowing river with intact forests and a pretty intact estuary.

What the Elwha does not have is fish management in place to ensure that its fish are n ot harvested in mixed stock fisheries and as juveniles prior to return to the river. Without that, the specific stock won't recover.
