Christy, in my work with F&G in the past, I assisted with a lot of direct hands on salmon research. I don't know where you fish kings, but I can tell you that, with the exception of the Kenai in river salmon fishery, the state is doing a great job of protecting salmon resources. There are dozens of factors that affect salmon, they all react differently to subtle variations in temp., water clarity, ph, sediment accumulation, vegetation growth, sunlight on riparian areas, variation in abundance of water at certain times of the year...not to mention ocean conditions. Lots of variables. Bottom line is that they need clean water to spawn in. Period. If they have that, they stand the best chance of dealing with other changing conditions out there. Pebble threatens this indefinitely.
