Salmon stories in the news

It seemed that every time I picked up the paper this week, salmon were in the news. The first being a federal judge telling the government to get real with its salmon protection laws along the Columbia River according to this PI article.

Then we have King County breaking down levies along the Green River to make more room for salmon habitat, according to this Seattle Times article.

And finally, this story about sea lice that attach themselves to salmon, esp. farmed salmon and then hop (I guess) to wild runs that go through the areas with the farms and wipe out the wild populations.
