"Salmon and steelhead fishing was once a very valuable industry to the west coast economy.As recently as 1988.salmon and steelhead fishing.brought in $1.25 billion to the regional economy and supported an estimated 62,750 family wage jobs.Since then,many salmon runs have declined because of a combination of many factors including too many dams and widespread habitat loss. "One likely fact that has received little scrutiny, however,is the long-term impact of increasing uses of agricultural chemicals and pesticides in many Northwest river systems."
