CORRESPONDENCE-
Port & Boat No Good News but there was an interesting article published regarding the MLPA's @ bohemian.com regarding some of the leadership conflicts authored by Alastair Bland on May 14th 2008. The article sheds a light on some of the ties between the MLPA members pressing for restrictions and the big money sources behind them. Member Richard Navarro is quoted as a private citizen in the article and both sides of the debate have a chance to explain their positions. The article is far too lengthy to publish in these Tales but you should able to get the full article by typing in this link on your internet.

The Salmon Aid Festival will be an event you may want to attend next weekend and should be fun for the whole family participating members will include Coastside Fishing Club. Trout Unlimited and Sierra Club along with many other organizations dedicated to the enhancement and conservation of the Salmon Fishery. Here is their add:
Join us for the SalmonAid Festival
to celebrate wild salmon and steelhead with a free, family-friendly, music festival in Oakland's famed Jack London Square
Saturday May 31, 2008 – noon-7pm.
and Sunday June 1, 2008 – Sunday 11am-7pm.
Organized by the largest ever coalition of West Coast salmon advocates (including commercial, recreational and tribal fishermen, conservation organizations, chefs, restaurants, scientists, and many others), Salmonoid will raise awareness of the plight of west coast salmon populations, the rivers and streams they spawn in, and the many coastal and inland communities that rely on salmon for their livelihoods and survival. The festival will feature educational booths, activities and foods highlighting the natural history of salmon, as well as the history, culture and traditions of salmon towns and the peoples connected through our west coast salmon heritage - from Morro Bay, California to Bellingham, Washington, and inland to Idaho and Nevada.
By uniting commercial, tribal, and sport fishing interests with conservation organizations, chefs and restaurant owners, and the American consumer to celebrate and restore our wild salmon and healthy, free-flowing rivers, SalmonAid will inform the public about the historic, cultural, economic, dietary, and environmental benefits of healthy wild salmon populations and the threats to their continued existence. SalmonAid celebrates wild Pacific salmon as a valuable cultural resource for all Americans, an important economic resource for west Coast fishing communities, an exciting recreational fishing experience, a nutritious food source, and a vital ecological link between our freshwater and marine ecosystems. In addition, SalmonAid will raise funds to support education and habitat restoration efforts directed at re-establishing abundant wild, native Pacific salmon populations in Pacific coast watersheds.
