Special Report on Washington D.C. Salmon Collapse Hearing
posted by Dan Bacher 2008-05-20T16:15:27Z
The following is a special report from Roger Thomas, Golden Gate Fishermen's Association, and Dick Pool, American Sportfishing Association, on the House oversight hearing regarding the West Coast salmon disaster held in Washington D.C. on May 15. In spite of the court's recent decision and most independent biologists' opinions that the massive increases in water exports at the state and federal pumps in the California Delta were a primary cause of the Central Valley collapse, Mr. Rod McGinnis, the Regional Director of the National Marine Fisheries Service, took the easy way out. "Therefore the cause of the decline is consistent with the poor ocean conditions hypothesis," he said in an attempt to release the Bush and Schwarzenegger administrations from any responsibility for the West Coast salmon collapse. In a further disappointment, Mr. McGinnis failed to provide a timetable for a new delta biological opinion. "On the positive side, he indicated NMFS would propose their Central Valley salmon recovery plan by September," according to Thomas and Pool.

A Perfect Storm: House Panel Will Hold Hearing on West Coast Salmon on May 15
posted by Dan Bacher 2008-05-14T16:24:47Z
A House Subcommittee will hold an oversight hearing on the management of West Coast salmon fisheries on Thursday, May 15 at 10 a.m. (eastern) in Washington, D.C. Hopefully, this hearing will spur some concrete actions to restore salmon populations on the Sacramento, Klamath, Columbia and other river systems. The hearing occurs at a time when commercial and recreational salmon fishing has been closed off California and Oregon, due to the unprecedented collapse of Central Valley fall run chinook salmon.

posted by Dan Bacher 2008-05-09T01:35:30Z
This video is of the protest organized by women from the Yurok, Karuk and Hoopa Valley tribes of northern California during a cocktail party at the Borsheims Diamond Store, owned by Warren Buffett, on Friday, May 2 in Omaha Nebraska. This protest was held prior to the Berkshire-Hathaway meeting the following day, where a coalition of tribes, fishermen and conservationists challenged Buffett and Charles Munger to remove four Klamath Dams, owned by Berkshire Hathaway subsidiaries PacifiCorp amd Mid American Energy, before a crowd of 31,000 people in the Quest Convention Center. In contrast to last year, a number of shareholders expressed support for the coalition. The Klamath Salmon Media Collective produced the video.

Communities For Peace

This years, now annual, anti-(Iraq)-War demonstration took on a new persona in the form of a demonstrative memorial for the victims of the war in Iraq which include well over the 650,000 dead Iraqis documented over a year ago as of this writing and the over 3,000 dead American service men and women. While it is unlikely that the number of participants in this year's more somber and choreographed demonstration reached the 4,000 mark as in past years there were many people present along 5th street; and many more on 4th; The full breadth of the demonstartion is difficult to depict in a couple of photos being spread up and down Highway 101 as it was but there are more larger photos. It is too large for easy download via dial-up modem at 141 megabytes. There is also an even lower resolution version uploaded to Google Video though that will likely be a bit much for a 56K modem also. A reduced size version though at 27 megabytes it is still a hefty download for dialup... This might even work on dialup;
