WC - I'm not sure it's that simple, but I'll play along....

The ESA requires Option #1. That is, restoration of WILD fish is the goal.

However, the prescence of many dams on the Columbia Rv and elsewhere make option #1 almost impossible. That is, restoration of wild salmon maybe unattainable, as a goal. As such, option #2 is the stark reality if we want salmon in our watersheds in high enough numbers to allow harvest (which is a Treaty-reserved right by for the Tribes).

So, how can we achieve #1 in light of the realities of #2?

Recall, that if option #1 is found to be unattainable, the ESA requires either an exemption thru the God Squad, or Congressional authorization to make the necessary infrastructure adjustments to allow it to be successful (in other words, dam removal).
