| Notes | "Presented July 12, 2004. Commencement June 2005." Attempts to reconstruct data regarding salmon populations circa 1850 and contrast that data with contemporary statistics. Tables give estimated run sizes and loss of lands in estuaries. Suggests that ocean conditions are the most significant factor affecting salmon runs, and that improving habitats in estuaries and lowlands would be a way to improve salmon runs. Includes historical photographs. |
