SalmonForTheFuture

We focus on saving salmon, saving orcas and ending commercial gillnets. And we are just getting started.

@GovInslee: “When we act for orcas, we act for our children.” – Gov Inslee (12/18). How about removing commercial gillnets so salmon can get to the orcas? #remembertahlequah

[SalmonForTheFuture @for_salmon]

@roncjudd: you write a lot about issues of importance to Washingtonians. Do you have an opinion on commercial gillnets coming back to Washington’s waters? Seems like salmon would have an opinion on this one.

[SalmonForTheFuture @for_salmon]

@leftoversalmon: “Ask the fish” how they feel about commercial gillnets coming back to Washngton’s waters. #polyethniccajunslamgrass

@GovInslee: at the #insleetownhall, you said that you are open to nuclear power (w some caveats). If you can talk about nuclear power, can you share where you are on commercial gillnets?

[SalmonForTheFuture @for_salmon]

@GovInslee: Are you tracking that commercial gillnets are now set to return to Willapa Bay, too? In the last two months, commercial gillnets are roaring back. And when these walls of death get in the rivers, salmon do not get out of the river to the whales.

[SalmonForTheFuture @for_salmon]

🚨🚨🚨Yes! We agree with @theColumbian
"Keep gillnet ban, but assist commercial anglers."

Amen!

"The return of gillnets would work against the state efforts to increase salmon numbers and help orcas."

@wolfblitzer: You might be surprised to learn that commercial gillnets are on their march back to the Columbia River (under Gov. Inslee’s admin) which means less salmon for orca. Will it come up tonight? #insleetownhall #elections2020

[SalmonForTheFuture @for_salmon]

@jayinslee wishing you good luck at tonight’s @CNN Town Hall show. You know, that would be a great time to share your position on ending commercial gillnets to save salmon and orcas. #insleetownhall

[SalmonForTheFuture @for_salmon]

@wolfblitzer any chance you will talk about salmon, orcas, and commercial gillnets coming back to Washington’s waters and how all those fit together?” #elections2020 #insleetownhall

[SalmonForTheFuture @for_salmon]

@billnye: we know you care about science and the environment. Can you ask @govinslee why he is returning commercial gillnets to Washington state just as we are trying to find ways to feed the orca whales? #endgillnets

[SalmonForTheFuture @for_salmon]

@leftoversalmon: Love your music, love your voice on salmon issues. Did you know our governor is bringing back gillnets to WA state? These “walls of death” mean less fish for orcas and all of us. Please RT to shine a light on this injustice. #polyethniccajunslamgrass #endgillnets

[SalmonForTheFuture @for_salmon]

@govinslee: Listening to @BreneBrown’s “Daring Leadership” book right now. How would you describe your leadership style on commercial gillnets? Her description of “zig-zag leadership” seems appropriate. We need more from you. #endgillnets

[SalmonForTheFuture @for_salmon]

@therealnmma thank you for the RT. We appreciate you!

[SalmonForTheFuture @for_salmon]

Speaking of taking action, are you familiar with Senate Bill 5617? Thank you, Sen. Jesse Salomon and the other 26 co-sponsors for working to end commercial #gillnets: https://t.co/J68s0NbXOx

@SierraClub knows about the importance of Columbia River Chinook: “For several months out of the year orca travel down the Pacific Coast to the mouth of the Columbia River to feed on the chinook salmon returning to the Snake and Columbia River’s.” https://t.co/sphMo5NDzM

Did you know the license fees and the Columbia River endorsement fee generate $10 million annually for the agency, compared to less than $100,000 a year in lower Columbia commercial license fees, Heirigs wrote https://t.co/n8UdVUnDlL

Did you know that recreational anglers comprise 38% of WA Dept of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW)’s budget?

Are you signed up for the American Boating Congress? It’s your chance to make your boating and fishing voice heard. @therealnmma https://t.co/qRMBmygvQy
