Guess what? The author is "a board member and past president of the Northwest Mineral Prospector's Club." And he too refers to the "proven science" of dredging's benefits to wild fish. (Do you guys share the same phrasebook?)


Of course he is, what a silly observation. Did you completely miss the part where WDFW and the Forest Service CALLED HIM for help removing sediment? Who would be better suited to clean out that silt than a modern dredger? I guess since you hate our entire user group then we should not be allow to talk about out achievements, right?
The benefits of dredging are proven and how badly you hate that is irrelevant.
